Ticketmaster has long been the troll under the bridge for concert fans. Not only did the ticket vendor muscle its way into a virtual monopoly over the past few decades, but it has behaved in outright boorish fashion, tacking on so many “convenience charges” and other crap that tickets inevitably end up costing near [...]

Pax Arcana
Dolphins are gentle creatures — full of mirth and joy and delicious dolphin meat — and thus would rather flee from vicious underwater zombies than fight them head-on.

Forest ninja eludes the cops
Pax Arcana
Police in New Jersey locked down local public schools after someone spotted a ninja running through the woods behind an elementary school. The schools were reopened when the cops determined that the ninja was actually a camp counselor on his way to a costume party…
