1. "Couch surfing just got a whole new meaning. Sparkrelief, a new non-profit aimed at disaster relief, has built a special portal where people can offer up their homes or apartments as surrogate shelters for people displaced by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Goodtime Jesus

Jesus got up one day a little later than usual. He had been dream-
ing so deep there was nothing left in his head. What was it?
A nightmare, dead bodies walking all around him, eyes rolled
back, skin falling off. But he wasn't afraid of that. It was a beau-
tiful day. How 'bout some coffee? Don't mind if I do. Take a little
ride on my donkey, I love that donkey. Hell, I love everybody.
