A satirical look at current events!
Super-Rare ‘Living Fossil’ Shark Caught Off Australian Coast: Fishermen in Australia were stunned last month to find a dead, extremely rare “frilled shark” in their catch, whose frightening, primitive features are believed to have hardly changed over the past 80 million years.

Sen. Joni Ernst Used Bread Bags to Keep Feet Dry: Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst touched on a variety of topics in her Republican rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union address, but perhaps most memorable was her claim that as a poor child, she had to put bread bags over her shoes to keep them dry on her way to school on rainy days.
