Apple Is Building A Spaceship Campus
Didn’t think Apple could get any cooler than it already is? Well, think again. New photographs of Apple’s Spaceship Campus have been unveiled and, yeah, it’s pretty cool. There will be an underground auditorium where press will be able to look at the latest top-secret products, a 2,000 square foot parking garage (accessible by a secret tunnel, obviously), and 90,000 square foot cafeteria. Who else is predicting some Chateaubriand and a fine Bordeaux as the Tuesday lunch special on Apple cafeteria menu? The new campus is slated to open in 2016, which is just enough time for you to polish up your resume and stroll right in.

Woman Marries A Ferris Wheel In Florida
On Wednesday it was reported that Linda and Bruce were a happily married couple. By Linda I mean a human being and by Bruce, of course, I mean an amusement park attraction. Indeed, Bruce (actually, the “Skydiver”) is a ferris wheel who Linda has had a somewhat platonic relationship with for thirty years. And now they are married. The marriage isn’t technically legal because in Florida both parties have to apply for a license in person and, well, I don’t think Bruce was quite able to make it.
The Fairfield Test Drive That Would Not End
Just like the thievery from last week, Connecticut has yet again experienced a little bit of moronic criminal mischief. Ask yourself, what happens when a test drive goes on forever? Well, perhaps we should ask Jelani Lemon, 22, who said that he planned on buying a motorcycle and wanted to take it for a test spin. Well, Jelani took off and never came back. He just zoomed away into the open road, probably feeling like a real Peter Fonda from Easy Rider sort of guy. But the joy ride came to a quick stop when he was pulled over and arrested by the Fairfield Police.
Guess What The Word Of The Year Is?
This year, The Oxford Dictionary decided to bestow the honor of the Word Of The Year to your favorite word and mine: “Selfie”. Yes, selfie apparently now belongs in the dictionary, and the official definition is “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.” Selfie was amongst pretty stiff competition, though. It beat out “schmeat”, “bitcoin” and the ever-popular “twerk” for its spot on top.

Costco Calls The Bible Fiction
Costco had a bit of an embarrassing moment this week when they were categorizing the fiction and non-fiction books in a Southern California store. Some of the Bibles were labeled as fiction, whoops. Costco blamed a distributor-mislabeling malfunction as the cause of the incident.
