Overnight Open Thread (7 May 2016)

I hope y'all are ready for Mother's Day tomorrow.

Top 10 Mothers ranked.

War Poems

I might have to get this. Powerful true-war stories told in 6-word poems.

"What's the forecast today? Steel Rain."

Too Many Generals

And I thought we were top heavy in the ranks. Venezuela has more than 4,000 generals.

PC vs Safety

The safety of your fellow citizens is secondary to the mere chance of offending someone. Oakland PD cancels Cinco de Mayo DUI checkpoints to avoid offending anyone. Why not on St. Patrick's Day too? Surely there are some Irish in Oakland that could be offended by a DUI checkpoint.

Dead Pool

Mission Creep

Pentagon reveals US forces back in Yemen.

Strange Subcultures & Stuff

What it's like to have sex as a 'furry'. I'm sure they'll be demanding bathrooms of their choice too.

In other strange news, China bans 'erotic' banana-eating live streams.
h/t

Anyone game for KFC flavored edible nail polish?

Survival Tips

Pipeline

You know, I think I can sell this as a way to reduce DUIs. Brewery builds a pipeline, sending beer lovers into a froth. I wonder what the over/under for an unauthorized tap is?

Kitteh Comet

Why astronomers named this comet after a cat.

Cat Video

Tonight's ONT brought to you by the new smart gun:
