STAY IN YOUR HOMES

So, on Saturday two boys were rushed to hospital with severe burns after throwing petrol on a barbecue. Terrible accident, obviously very sad. In this follow-up report, one of the boys' mothers is quoted as saying:

"Unless people realise just the dangers that are involved, there are going to be other families this summer who will end up in hospital with children - and that's a bad place to be."

You heard it here first.

FIRE IS DANGEROUS. DO NOT THROW PETROL ONTO FIRE. FIRE IS HOT AND BURNS AND IT WILL BURN YOU.

Honestly, I despair of the human race sometimes.

Ow ow ow

I have been bit all over.

Damn these hot nights, and damn me for leaving the window open, the light on and the curtains drawn while night fell.

Ow ow ow.

Random thought of the day

I have a life-size model of The Atom in my pocket.

Old Bones

Today's Garfield makes for particularly eerie reading without the cat's thought bubble.
