Maybe with a tornado the need for speed trumps safety.

But this has just reminded me of something. I found an old post, beginning with a sarcastic put down, and then suggesting that workplace fatalities were 14 times as high in Canada as the UK.

Not impressed with their shooting skills, but at least the suspect wasn't killed.

Here's a macabre and tragic tale, of a woman in Tallahassee, FL, quite clearly with severe mental issues, who killed her mother.

Please don't open the link if you are squeamish or easily, or even not-so-easily shocked.

Poor choice of attire for the attempted getaway

Probably schizophrenic. Unfortunately.

I thought this was one of those stories about an image of Jesus miraculously appearing on a piece of toast, but no.

Your breakfast toast is not just a carb. It can be an inspiration.

All it takes is "putting a happy face on my toast with squeeze jam," Debra Grabowski of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, tells us.

Amazing. Just think, it we all started putting happy jam faces on our toast there might be world peace in a week or two.

Jam's okay. If anyone puts peanut butter on my toast, this means war.

Please do NOT come to Mississippi. We love peanut butter on toast for breakfast without the jam even. Would definitely forget who I'm serving and make yours the same way. I also like PB on apple slices and celery.

When my wife was in hospital a few years ago, a regular evening snack delivered was peanut butter and crackers.
I thought people in hospital were to be made better not worse.

Peanut butter - one of the world's most disgusting "food" products - probably the only one that is as revolting going in as it is going out the other end.

True for me.
