One hand this is depressing. On the other hand fascinating.

Back in 1995 they found 400 suitcases in the attic of Willard Asylum. They date from 1910 to 1960. They belong to people who were committed and spent the rest of their lives there....and eventually buried there with graves marked with numbers.

With the Fifty Shades of Grey craze....there have been a lot of crazy things people have been doing.

The London Fire Brigade's twitter. They started a #fiftyshadesofred campaign.

I just came across this one. It collects social media posts in which people mistake Onion articles for news. It's fun to make fun of dumb people.
