Flaming toilet paper spill clogs New York highway, backs up traffic for miles

BATAVIA, N.Y. – Please don't squeeze the Charmin. And don't dump it on the highway, either.

Crews on the New York State Thruway spent hours cleaning up the mess caused when a truck full of toilet paper caught fire Monday.
…
Roll after roll of the bathroom tissue spilled onto the highway, backing up traffic for miles. That, in turn, led to a separate accident involving two trucks. Police say no one was seriously hurt. 

Definitely random. I wish the website would've had a picture…

I’m too cool for my friends

Sometimes I wonder if I'm not supposed to be this cool…  I mean, we should be who we are, right?  But what about when you're just so cool that all your friends get insecure and jealous of you, then eventually quit being your friends?  Is it possible to be too cool?

I wonder about these sorts of things as I sit here by myself…  Perhaps I should try to be more normal so my friends won't get all jealous and quit hanging out with me.

Does anybody have any advice?

Take risks.  I mean, if you like this person and you don't know if they like you, ask them out and see what happens.  I liked this girl and asked her out.  She said no and she hates me now, but I took that risk.

I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money.  They said, "What for?"  I said, "I'm going to buy some sugar." ~ Steven Wright

My greatest fear in life is that no one will remember me after I'm dead. ~ some dead guy
