Water On Mars

NASA discovered something pretty amazing recently. Just in time for the release of The Martian too. Coincidence? Yes.

They found water on Mars? Big deal. Call me when they find gin.

The great thing about the discovery of liquid water on Mars is maybe it'll humble us spiritually & help us to evolvBWAH! Just kidding...

Chris Brown

It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions as groups for and against Chris Brown entering the country battle it out. Here’s the latest.

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

Chris Brown has been refused a visa to Australia. Violence against women - Australia says not unless you're a guard at a detention centre.

Hey @chrisbrown if you're so keen to raise awareness for domestic violence, how come you only raised the idea after you were banned from Oz?

AFL

From the Brownlow Medal to Daniel Chick, it’s definitely Grand Final week.

Herald Sun gets Daniel Chick to "tell his story" and he does. Cheap opportunism and the chance to distract and undermine. Quality all round.

I realise it's an important issue but why did Daniel Chick wait until former club in a GF before talking about 10yr old drug culture? #AFL
— Mark Gottlieb (@MarkGottliebFOX) September 30, 2015

Every year I wonder: why does one of the world’s fastest, most exciting games put on the longest, slowest, most boring awards ceremony? #AFL

hey remember when Chicky was a great player and relevant? Thats not now. Stop RUINING it in a last bid for fame, Chicky. #afl #westcoast

The Pope Meeting Kim Davis

Kentucky country clerk Kim Davis has been in the news quite a lot since she was jailed for five nights after refusing to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples last month. She met Pope Francis during the week.

If it makes you feel better, after he met with Kim Davis, the Pope totally gave me a ride to my abortion.
— maura quint (@behindyourback) September 30, 2015

I'm assuming the Pope and Kim Davis just watched reruns of RuPaul's Drag Race.
— Ronan Farrow (@RonanFarrow) September 30, 2015

Finding out the pope met with Kim Davis is like walking in on a friend rocking out to Limp Bizkit.
— Guy Endore-Kaiser (@GuyEndoreKaiser) September 30, 2015

It's almost like the Pope didn't read all our Kim Davis tweets.
— Mike Drucker (@MikeDrucker) September 30, 2015

Maybe the Pope met with Kim Davis to give her the other 497 pages of the Bible she was missing?
— Gladstone (@WGladstone) September 30, 2015

before you get all upset, it's possible that when the pope met with kim davis he just thought she was a homeless woman who needed a blessing
— joe mande (@JoeMande) September 30, 2015

Lame of the Pope to meet with Kim Davis, but digging up John Wilkes Booth to high 5 him? That's an #EpicFail!

Miscellaneous

In California, that's how much we pay just for the water. https://t.co/BHlEVXEfIE

The pope will often be made to wear a cone to prevent him licking or scratching at his head while wounds heal. pic.twitter.com/yHZeGaClkd
