How bout a nice glass of sweat soda?

I don't know about you guys, but nothing quenches my thirst on a hot day like a nice, cold glass of dirt.

Now would be an important time to note that I am an unabashed liar.

But the Jones Soda Co. apparently wasn't lying when they declared that what Seahawks fans need are some locker-room inspired beverages, Business Week reports.

Mmmmm ... Forbidden donut.

Ahhhh, the golden years. The final approach to one's inevitable dirt nap. The time in your life when you can look forward to things like bingo night, chair exercises, frank discussions about your bowels with anyone who will listen and the occasional angry picket line of silver-haired rebels, fighting the power, wearing sandwich boards demanding donuts.

Yep.

Few things can motivate a man to action like the absence of pastries.

Bad baboons, bad baboons, whatcha gonna do?

If you're asking about the colony of coastal baboons on South Africa's Cape Peninsula, the answer is probably poop all over your house and steal your Mercedes.

No joke.

I promise to love you forever, or at least until our seven-year contract expires.

It might sound weird, but a German politician is stumping for just that, the AFP reports.

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii will aaaaaaaaaaaalwaaaaays remember to bring earplugs when I show up in Judge Paul Sacco's court.

Why?

The Fort Lupton, Colo., judge forces folks who violate the city's noise ordinance to sit and listen to music that would make anyone with a functional aural cavity under the age of 30 wish for sudden deafness, Denver's CBS 4 reports.

From Russia, with love ...

Need an excuse to get it on? Happen to live in the Ulyanovsk province of Russia?

You may just be in luck.

The government there actually urged residents to take Wednesday off from work and do it for their country, the AFP reports.

It doesn't take talent to be the best

If there is anything cooler than a dork who leaves his mom's basement long enough to put on a kitty cat sweatshirt, wear his sunglasses at night and play the air guitar for a world championship, then I've yet to see it.

The folks at the Air Guitar World Championship are inclined to agree.
