[![](https://i.imgur.com/Pi3LBRb.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/Pi3LBRb.jpg) A local pizza place has this on the small boxes they send wings in. I thought it was hilarious. My gf has never seen **Se7en** , so she didn’t get it. I made her sit with me and watch it. She now “gets” the joke, but thought the movie was disgusting. ---

One of the films I thought was excellent that I never want to see again. Disturbing. ---

Yeah, the foxes use to stuff their pipes with the tobacco from the cigarette butts. A bit icky, but cheap. ---

You don’t think they’d just smoke a cigarette butt that a human had been smoking, do you? That would be gross. They unroll the butts and pack the tobacco into their pipes. ETA: Ninjaed! That proves it’s true. ---

This is not quite a sign, but almost. I’m on a cruise right now. So in close proximity to and repeated contact with quite a cross-section of humanity. There is one very large American guy wandering around who is blessed with a very large upper body / belly. It’s not quite highway sign sized, but it’s ample by any reasonable human standard. This was a large and beefy man even before he became obese to boot. He’s followed (or led) around by this small woman who’s evidently his wife. He’s wearing a plain blue t-shirt with white 3" tall lettering across the front. > In my defense, > I was left > UNSUPERVISED He looks like the sort who’d get into all sorts of goofy hijinks if supervision wasn’t readily available. ---
