Five people have escaped from a cafe in central Sydney where a gunman had earlier taken several people hostage Monday and forced two people to hold up a black flag bearing an Islamic message written in Arabic in the store's window.
Television footage shot through the Lindt Chocolat Cafe's windows showed several people with their arms in the air and hands pressed against the glass, and two people holding up a black flag with the Shahada, or Islamic declaration of faith, written on it. Translated, the statement says, "There is no god but God and Muhammad is his messenger." It is considered the first of Islam's five pillars of faith, and is similar to the Lord's Prayer in Christianity. It is pervasive throughout Islamic culture, including the green flag of Saudi Arabia. Jihadis have used the Shahada in their own black flag.

5 Nice Things You Do Daily (That Secretly Ruin the World)

By J.T. Ulfeldt, written for Cracked

 

Look at you. You hold doors open for strangers, you always say please, and that table may as well be lava to your smooth, courteous elbows. You are a bastion of politeness. And you are destroying the world. See, politeness is fine and dandy when you're talking salad forks and soup spoons, but when you extend those basic rules of being a decent human into other aspects of society, this whole civilization thing just falls apart.

5 Famous Figures That Stupid People Love to Misquote

By Cher Martinetti, written for Cracked

We've all been in this scenario. You log on to Facebook, eyes still blurry with sleep as you coax yourself into consciousness with a hot cup of coffee. You mindlessly navigate through the weather complaints, humble brags, pictures of kids that belong to people you most likely haven't seen since high school, and you meaninglessly "like" all of it, purely out of obligation.
You scroll down a bit more, and that's when you see it: an obvious indication that someone's life is in shambles. Maybe they caught their significant other cheating, perhaps their cat died, or maybe the ending to the previous season of Game of Thrones was spoiled for them. The details are never immediately clear, but you know something is up, because their status is an ominous quote by some famous (and usually dead) person, followed by a frowning emoji.

Well, I drive a cab in a medium-sized town in the Pacific Northwest, and in my experience, being a cabby is a carousel of surreal comedy, harsh life lessons, and unwelcome nudity.
