This is entertainment in the USA. This is rodeo day at Angola Prison, Louisiana, where Convicts’ Poker is the go.
The game’s winner is the last man sitting as the bull stampedes the table. He gets $50.
The show’s finale is called Guts and Glory. The clue is in the title.

Nuclear Explosions Since 1945 And Deformities
THIS is a map of all the nuclear explosions since 1945.
Click on it to make it, er, blow up.
Interestingly, a painter by the name of Cornelia Hesse-Honegger collects and paints mutant bugs in the vicinity of irradiated wastelands.
At Sellafield I collected Heteroptera and Cicada Homoptera as well as ladybird beetles, Coleoptera. I found morphological disturbances, growths and deformities of the chitin, the material that makes up the exoskeleton of many insects. I found the most profound deformities in Ponsonby…
Hesse-Honegger is from Switzerland, the most depressing and annihilation-friendly country on Earth.
No nuclear explosions there. But they do have a relaxed take on assisted suicide…

That Office Of Government Commerce Logo Uncensored
SAYS a spokesman for OGC: “It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters OGC – and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.”
Brand expert Michael Hamilton tells the Telegraph: “They’re going to get more column inches than they could ever have expected before. If I were them, I would be pretty pleased.”
