    The mayor of Kiev raffles off his kisses & sells burial plots for frogs. He greets protesters with a song, saying: only God sings better.

      @morningporch A Renaissance monk scribes the sacred and the sexy, chortles with courtesans, singing "you are all that is left of me."

        @pfanderson Imagine how reporters for the Life Morning News felt when they found their distributor had been taking it straight to recycling.

          @morningporch Life, death, that's right - the morning-shift warehouse worker sliced in the cardboard recycling shredder. It's over. He is.

                @pfanderson In Lahore, the Movement for Decency bombs juice shops where couples cuddle. Now illicit whispers hide behind Koranic ringtones.

                    @pfanderson Japanese scientists studying turtle embryos pinpoint the moment when the body wall folds in, origami-like, to make the shell.

                      @morningporch The embryo folds a tube 2 create the spine. Folds & knots another 2 shape the heart. Some things unfold that are not stories.

                            @pfanderson The Colonel bristles at the word "drone." Real people control it, he says, be it Predator or Reaper. Let's not dehumanize them.

                                  @morningporch Make destiny a bit closer, space a bit smaller. From YouTube ask astronauts questions. They answer like God from the skies.

            @kobzahrai Oh, sorry. Sun Ra actually was a great composer. One music critic described his works as total inversions of standard jazz tunes.
