News of the Day -- Wednesday, March 26

+ If you love the Fish-Slapping Dance as much as I do -- and who doesn't? -- then check out this Monty Python quiz from Mental Floss. If it asks you your favorite color, just go with your first instinct. Trust me.

+ No Wednesday is complete without the quiet contemplation of evil robots. Luckily, we have a list of naughty robots right here.

+ The New York Times has an interesting report on rodents being taught to use rakes to grab food. I think it would be more productive to teach them to use rakes to do lawns, but whatever. I love this line in the story -- "This is first time rodents have been trained to wield tools...." Doesn't that sound like the prologue to an apocalypse in which the cute little critters learn to wield cheese-propelled chainsaws, eat through your slippers and wreak havoc on all of humanity? No? Okay, it's just me then.
