Now there's a face in need of a fist
Hi sugar lips!
Feeling curious this week? I hope so. Scroll down for a weird cocktail of NASA, peeing, bank heists and face-punching. Let me know which bits grabbed you.
I am writing this while over a vat of Lemsip, and - aptly - look like I’ve been punched in the face. Just be glad this isn’t a vlog.
May your weekend be bright, your sleep deep, and your Friday takeaway quick to deliver.
See you next Friday, chum!
Let’s dabble!
Happily ever after?
Good news, everybody! Thanks to NASA's recent asteroid-exploding experiments, we may not all get wiped out like the dinosaurs! The bad news is, if we were to be hit by an asteroid, they’d only give us all ten minutes’ warning. But don’t let that ruin your day; focus on the not-dying thing.
A wee piece of advice
Newsflash - we should all be peeing sitting down. Here are six excellent reasons why. In other news, I just found out that lots of women stand up to wipe, and I can’t stop thinking about that.
Past action hero
Did you know Josephine Baker, she of envelope-pushing near-naked dances, was also a British spy? This extract from an upcoming book explains how Germany's racist treatment of her in the 1920s - and later, her horror at what was happening to Jewish communities - inspired this gutsy rebel to genuinely put her neck on the line to help fight the Nazis.
Stick em…down
You know things are in a dire state when even bank robberies are at an all time low. Yep, apparently hold ups are just not as lucrative as they used to be. Don’t tell The Joker.
Word of the week
Backpfeifengesicht (German): A face badly in need of a fist.
You know the types.
The question on everyone’s lips:
Has the Zodiac killer mystery been solved (again)?
