– I fear this technology could be turned to evil uses: Presenting Tomatan, the robot your wear as a backpack that shoves tomatoes in your mouth. Because why not? (h/t Laura)

– Kind of hard to spin this one for the culture wars: It seems like kids are getting pregnant earlier and earlier these days. Here’s a kid who was born pregnant. With twins. (h/t Tim)

– Wait, what? U.S. PIRG released a report a few months ago that named Austin, Texas the best car-free city in the United States (h/t Chris). You read that right. Not to stereotype people who work for PIRGs, but I wonder if the researchers ever left downtown or the Drag.

The bill didn’t make it far, though. A few days after the story broke, he claimed he was kidding.

– I can’t even with this one: This one involves the terms “Gordon Ramsey lookalike,” “dwarf porn,” and “eaten by a badger (h/t Mare). Luckily, it’s a hoax.

– Headline only again: WOMAN GETS TWO YEARS IN PRISON FOR SQUEEZING EX-BOYFRIEND’S BALLS UNTIL THEY BURST (all-caps in original, h/t Bob)
