6 TV characters who returned from the dead
Despite being killed off in The Avengers, fan favorite Agent Phillip Coulson will be on board for an ABC spinoff series called Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Here, some other TV characters who returned from the dead:
Kenny from South Park
TV’s undisputed record holder for cheating death goes to the poor kid in the orange parka. Kenny McCormick experienced some kind of grisly death in almost every episode of the first five seasons of South Park, and Stan and Kyle’s recurring reaction — “Oh my God! They killed Kenny! You bastards!” — became the show’s first certified catchphrase.Sara Tancredi from Prison Break
The gripping and edgy FOX drama lost one of its biggest characters in the third season. “The Company” kidnaps doctor Sara Tancredi and beheads her. The following season, it was revealed that the severed head was a fake, and that Michael, the doctor’s love interest, never actually looked at the head to confirm that it was her.Murdoc from MacGyver
Actor Michael Des Barres portrayed the arch-nemesis of TV’s most resourceful hero, and was adept at finding new ways to cheat death. Murdoc ”died” several times over the course of the show, each time screaming out MacGyver’s name before meeting his (temporary) demise.3 more resurrected characters…

We’ve all done the walk-and-text, an awkward dance that involves fiercely mashing your phone while looking up every so often to make sure you don’t collide with the nearest lamppost. But some unfortunate citizens are so absorbed in their little screens, or so oblivious to their surroundings, that their multitasking attempts result in calamity and/or hilarity.

Today in things that seem like a joke but aren’t:
Anti-circumcision activists in San Francisco have created a new superhero — Foreskin Man. The comic book is proving controversial, partly because one of the villains is a sneering rabbi named Monster Mohel. The Anti-Defamation League is calling the entire thing anti-Semitic.

Willie Nelson may evade pot charges with a song
When U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped Willie Nelson’s tour bus in rural west Texas last November, they found several ounces of marijuana onboard. But although Hudspeth County Attorney Kit Bramblett could have made an example out of Nelson — recommending the maximum 180 days in jail and $2,000 fine allowed under Texas law — he suggested a plea deal of $100 instead… plus a courtroom performance by Nelson of his 1975 hit “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.” “You can bet your ass I’m not going to be mean to Willie Nelson,” Bramblett said.

Smokey, the “world’s loudest cat,” has a purr that reaches 92 decibels — the same volume as a lawnmower, a hairdryer, or even a descending Boeing 737, as heard from the ground.
Note: Jordan Yerman at Now Public points out that prolonged exposure to anything over 95 decibels can cause hearing loss. That’s one loud cat.
