FOOLS

We absolutely love how this squirrel is so smart that he had trained humans to bring him a snack when he rings the bell.

(Thanks to EricY, who says "I've contacted the SWAT team.")

They won't "absolutely love" it when the squirrel trains them to embezzle corporate funds.

THE FINAL FOUR

We are in Houston to root for the University of Miami Fighting Storm Systems men's basketball team and also allow the playful 600-mph Texas wind to tousle our hair.

NRG Stadium

The Storm Systems' opponent is the University of Connecticut Panting Cornhuskers.

Huskie

May the best team win, unless it is the opponents, in which case may the University of Miami win anyway.

CELERY IS THE WORST

Plants make popping sounds that are undetectable to the human ear, according to recordings made in a new study — and they make more sounds when thirsty or under other kinds of stress.

CANADA SINKS EVER DEEPER INTO CHAOS

A Canadian urban artist, who goes by the name Junko Playtime and works with “reclaimed materials,” created the massive spider and installed it under a bridge in Vancouver, according to an Instagram post on March 15.

(Thanks to Robert Moats)

In Australia, this would be a real spider, and nobody would notice.

ONE OF THE BEST

The great Mark Russell has died. He was a hilarious performer and just as funny one-on-one. I was fortunate enough to hang out with him from time to time over the years. A great guy.
