U.S. Orders Intelligence Agencies to Step Up Spying on Greenland, WSJ Reports

There are only 56,000 people living there. What exactly are the spies going to learn? Also, how are you going to be able to spy on them when everyone knows each other? “Who is that guy in the trenchcoat we’ve never see around the neighborhood before?”

Also Worth A Look…

  1. Trump plans to announce that the US will call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf, officials say - Now he’s re-naming things for other countries? I’m sure that’ll go over well. I’m still going to call it Sears Tower

  2. Alleged squatters wouldn't leave man's home, so he moved in with them - As you might imagine, annoying the hell out of them turned out to be way more efficient than the court system

  3. Town official allegedly shoots lost DoorDash driver looking for directions: Police - I hope they ended up getting a good tip

  4. Desperate Kansas man arrested for stealing 800-pound cannon from Spanish American War to settle drug debt - How did he think he’d get away with that without anybody noticing?

  5. American tourist climbs over fence at Colosseum, impales himself on spike - He said he wanted to have the full gladiator experience…

  6. Free: A Small Business on a Remote Scottish Island - Dream job for all the introverts out there

  7. 98 iguana eggs removed from a single yard in Florida - That’s a lot of iguana eggs

  8. Cardinals are watching ‘Conclave’ the movie for guidance on the actual conclave - Probably a better idea than watching Eurotrip
