The challenge was to take the top 3 most emailed photos on yahoo and create a hopefully amusing story about the sequence. I reserve the right to refuse a disturbing picture, this includes any pictures of celine dion.

Satoshi Kanazawa, compiled a database of the biographies of 280 great scientists, noting their age at the time when they made their greatest work and found creative genius was turned off once they were married and had children

This explains so much.

I'm no comedic genius, but even I could come up w/something better than the taglines for the kitty/Britney sequence.

That being said, the yahoo link did bring me to this picture which is horribly arresting in that train wreck sort of way.

Considering the preponderance of pussy and kittens in the top-emailed photos, I expect lots of cat stories.

er... um...

I take it back. The taglines are comedy gold and I could never hope to beat them. I accept defeat.

True comic genius would be coming up with a caption for the Russian bomb image that widdershins linked to without having everyone pile on you for having such bad taste as to joke about tragedy.

"Unaware that he had arrived over 3 hours early for the get together in the park, Earl decided he could wait no longer.."

fatbaq - that was along the lines that I was thinking but was unable to articulate (let alone create - nice job!).

How did she get a cockroach in her throat in the first place? And that huge fork? Must be some mouth on her.
