Status Updates From Cranial Fracking

from Enough to Make a Dog Laugh: “To understand the sense of humor dogs have, it’s useful to contrast it with their main pet competitor: cats. Cats do not really have a sense of humor. In its place, they cultivate a deep sense of the ironic. The detached, ironical pleasure cats take in watching and inflicting suffering is a horrid substitute for the hearty wholesomeness of dog laughter.”

from Deniers: “The shark alarmists have falsified climate-shark figures in the past.” “If there is a moderate uptick in the likelihood of a shark falling on you in North Dakota —and I’m not yet convinced that there will be— remember that it will also be good for the soybeans.”

Disclos’d, a masterful retelling of the death of Richard III based on the discovery of his grave beneath a parking lot in Leicester. And in dialogue form! Shakespeare would appreciate this.

Current events and historical topics taken to absurd extremes...what’s not to enjoy here. This is fun, in short two or three page stories.
