So here's a sentence that I didn't think I'd be saying this morning: monkeys cannot copyright their own selfies.

Google Translate, Mordor, and the Sad Little Horse.

EDIT: And another... Israeli stab vest demo goes wrong for reporter. The video contains footage of someone being stabbed. BBC.

They can't even build a safe car, but step aside, and fear for your life. China is building a passenger drone. Or is it a helicopter?

The Ehang184.

The Ehang184.

It's a turd. 2 hours minimum charge for 23 minutes flight time

A screenshot for the politically astute Brits, to be honest. An NFL player has Iain an Duncan Smith quote in his Twitter bio. Iain Duncan Smith, you may remember, is one of the worst party leaders in history and had a laughable public image comparable to Gidiot Osborne.

It's a snippet from this:

One of the best captions I've seen on a news page for a while,

 

[Touring Mars]

Giant golden Mao built in Chinese countryside. Looks just about as absurd as you think it would:

I find this headline funny: "Why is this naked black hole on a crash diet". Inside there's a link to "Hubble's Sexiest Spiral Galaxies"

Ok folks, we've got a story about a black hole. Marketing says we have to choose from the following words:

- Naked
- Sexy
- Revealing
- Kardashian
- Secret
- Diet
- Thin
- Hot
- Bikini
- Justin Bieber

Nude "Kardashian" Black Hole is Ready to Reveal the Sexy Secrets of Space Dieting... Justin Beiber

JAN 8, 2016 02:35 PM ET - Scientists have discovered a black hole with very few stars that appears to have a bulbous portion at the rear. Astronomers say that its mass is less than neighboring...

 

[prisonermonkeys]

You couldn't call a black hole "Kardashian". Mostly because the Kardashians are already black holes themselves.

Anyway, scroll down about halfway through this article (you can't miss the sub-heading): a Canberra sex shop posted record sales during a church conference in the city.

...Meanwhile, a robbery's taken place in South Africa's State Security Agency, supposedly their most secure organization. Yikes.

Apparently, the "slush" funds were targetted. Is this workings of some Grade A spy novel stuff?

I've never have had bed bugs, or have ever been bitten by any, they must be a pretty bad deal though...

Theft, Russian-stylee. Official steals 50km of road.

DP for a new one, so to speak. This kangaroo made headlines around the world for mourning his dead mate. Sadly science has come forward with a better explanation, he was simply showing Proper Oz Spirit and never giving up on you-know-what.

Theft, Russian-stylee. Official steals 50km of road.

Obviously they heard of Craggy Island's masterful "taking in the roads" when the whether gets too bad.

Porn takes over Barriere Chamber of Commerce website

Did you link directly to it? I just get a "Tech Difficulties, Cannot Display" message and a link for their customer relations bods.

There's what looks like a stray "[/URL" at the end of what looks like a real web address.

Yep, just checked the link in preview & that's what it was.

There's a bit of a screenshot from the porn site on display in the article but you don't see anything anti-AUP.
I'll put it in a spoiler just in case I did miss anything ruder.
