– Tennis player Maria Sharapova is reportedly trying to change her name, solely for the duration of the U.S. Open, in order to promote a candy company. What would her temporary new name be? Maria Sugarpova. Unless someone set up an entire company website to make a bad pun, this is not a joke.
– I think this headline stands on its own: “Florida man attacks mom’s boyfriend with Samurai sword over missing can of shrimp.”
– This headline, too: “‘Ghostbuster’ arrested for conducting exorcism with penis” (h/t Bob).
– The carnivorous caterpillar. Yes, it feasts on flesh. (Insect flesh, but still.) The story at io9 has animated GIFs, which I am too squeamish to post here.
