Will’s always saying so many things come in three’s, including celebrity deaths. This week Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and then Michael Jackson. It’s enough to make me think there might be something to his theory.

Big applause to the Boston PD for having a sense of humor, and not being afraid to show it.

Boston Police Department: We Will Let You Know When The Zombies Come

The first surprising part of this story is that the Boston Police Department has a Twitter feed. They use it to post breaking police-type information that’s useful to the public, such as roads closed due to car accidents, crime data, big arrests, etc. Sometimes they also reply to reader questions. And that is how TruTV learned that the Boston police will not hide the zombie invasion from the public.

It all started last night with a mundane “injured officer” report:

INJURED OFFICER: Officer from district 4 transported to Beth Israel Hospital, human bite to arm, suspect in custody.

Twitter user willcady used the opportunity to ask the police a burning question:

@Boston_Police if that was a zombie bite, would you tell us?

The police, setting the gold standard for government transparency, answered him:

@willcady Yes, absolutely

Read the whole kit and caboodle, and the great responses here

Wow, who in the world makes cupcakes this big for an office lunch catering thing?  I mean, they’re ginormous!

And you can click these photos to view even bigger, in case you can’t tell just how obscenely big they are from these photos.

And yes, I have watched enough CSI to know to use a dollar bill for size reference.

Keep your fork

There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. As she was getting her things “in order,” she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. The woman also requested to be buried with her favorite Bible.

Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.

“There’s one more thing,” she said excitedly. “What’s that?” came the pastor’s reply. “This is very important,” the woman continued,”I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”  The pastor stood looking at the woman, not knowing quite what to say. “That surprises you, doesn’t it?” the woman asked. “Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the pastor.
