Flickr user Drbucket comes downstairs to find his pup attempting suicide. Taking “play dead” a little too far, don't you think?

There is a right time and a wrong time to be a stickler when it comes to grammar. This is the wrong time.

Law enforcement is monitoring airports and boarders and consider Mr. Israel “armed and dangerous”. Update: Feds Say Israel did NOT kill himself and is still at large! Update 2: His girlfriend helped him escape! Update 3: After weeks on the run, Samuel Israel turns himself in. Don’t you kinda wish he escaped? Would make the story better!

Culture Buzz Sad Kermit, who covers the saddest songs ever, has a new video where he re-enacts the attempted suicide scene from The Royal Tenenbaums. I always knew from watching the Muppet Babies that Kermit would grow up to be the emo one.
Celebrity Buzz Whitney Houston’s 15-year-old daughter tries to stab Whitney during an argument, then attempts to kill herself by slashing her wrists. Wayward children of crackhead parents make for great reality television! I’d much rather watch a show about a rebellious teenager than a washed-up R&B star any day.
Politics Buzz Assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian, who helped 130 people die, plans to run for Congress, complicating a Michigan race that is expected to be among the most competitive in the nation. This gives new meaning to Puff Daddy’s “Vote or Die” campaign.
