A bike race in China finished in chaos last week as two groups of riders found themselves heading towards the finish line from opposite directions, causing a huge head-on crash which led to 17 of them being taken to hospital. -

That's messed up. I guarantee you that this kind of screw up doesn't happen at the Colorful Yunan Ravenclaw race.

I think crits would be more interesting if they were run on figure-8s like demolition derby races.

My wife's parents were staying with us 2 weekends ago and always buy a bunch of food and **** at Ranch 99 which is the local Asian supermarket. I'm not a fan.
Anyway as I walked to get my coffee this morning, half-blind, tired, barefoot, I stepped on something weird. Some item they bought and shoved in the lower shelves of the pantry is just spilling ****ing maggots out into the kitchen. I lifted up the edge of the mats (dark under there) and it was just a squirming crawling mess. I didn't have time to dig everything out of the pantry before work so I left the door open and the lights on hoping the light will contain whatever the **** is happening in there until I can get home and figure out the source. FML.
Maybe it's me, but if you're a guest in anyone's house maybe it's best to not buy a bunch of **** food they don't eat and hide it in the darkest recesses of their pantry?

Hunger is the best spice. Should we move this to the eating status thread perhaps? Share our cricket and maggot recipes?
