The Grinch tried to steal Christmas from Whoville. Instead, the Whos stole his heart, pumped it up three sizes and gave it back to him. Cook up the roast beast and open a big can of Who hash. It's Christmas in Whoville! flic.kr/p/RBEwnU

Five cents for a Coke at Chester & Hester's sounds like a bargain. But then you learn that you have to pay the same amount for the bottle deposit. As a result, the owners of the Diggs County tourist trap are rolling in nickels. flic.kr/p/27aKfTR

Portrait of Imperfection
If there's one word that describes Imperial stormtroopers, it's imperfection. Clumsy, poor shooting skills, half-blinded by their helmets. In other words, perfect cannon fodder.
