David Morales Colón wasn’t about to let a little thing like getting shot to death keep him from his favorite hobby. Colón’s embalmed body was mounted on his Honda motorcycle and is currently being displayed at the Marin Funeral Home in Puerto Rico. “He loved his motorcycle. It made him feel free from his worries,” said one mourner. “We all know he will be happy riding for eternity.&#

Happy Meals are disappearing in Santa Clara County, California but don’t blame the Hamburglar. The county’s Board of Supervisors has passed an ordinance (3-2) that bans the kid-friendly meals. Supervisor Ken Yeager accuses fast-food restaurants of preying on children’s love of toys to sell unhealthy food. “Why would a kid say ‘I want a burger with fries’?

The new Doctor is in, and it’s like David Tennant never left. Unfortunately, that’s not a good thing. Matt Smith tries too hard. Rather than showing some subtle differences between the Doctors he rams it down our throats, and his own, by spitting out his once favorite foods ad nauseum.
