New Delhi, India – Purple water in India makes crowd green with envy.

(Crowd noise.) "AHHH! Oh -look at the pretty colors! AHHH!" In their efforts to quell an unruly mob in New Delhi, the Indian Police (IP) turned water cannons on a crowd of protesters using purple-colored water instead of regular water, while synchronizing their water blasting to Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze”.

Washington, DC - Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas still can’t speak

Justice Clarence Thomas, who has failed to utter a single word from the bench since February 22, 2006, revealed he has a rare disease whereby nodes have formed on his vocal chords and larynx, rendering him unable to speak. When asked why he didn’t make this information public two years ago, Justice Thomas wrote on a legal pad, I COULDN’T TALK AND NO ONE ASKED ME. He was then asked why he didn’t utilize paper and pen earlier. Justice Thomas wrote, I DIDN’T THINK OF THAT.
