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 .

Dead Pool
DeadPool Gag Reel by Magnificent17
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

Kitteh Comet
Why astronomers named this comet after a cat .
Cat Video
