This is truly sick: here's surveillance footage from outside of a school in Coventry, England that shows a woman walk up to a cat, pet it for a few seconds, and then pick it up/throw it into a garbage bin.

Here in America, we a baseball fan who used his own vomit as a weapon. In England, they have Wendy Lewis. Cameras caught her urinating on a war memorial before "performing a sex act on a man nearby." Good show!

Pope Benedict is heading to Britain next month! For the Pope's big blowout parties in Hyde Park and Cofton Park, the Catholic church issued a list of banned items: barbecues, booze, tween boys, animals, and musical instruments. Some party! [Guardian]

Oh, Pulpo Paul, how we've missed you! We've missed your cute tentacles; your handsome, bulbous head; your psychic prowess. You'd retired, but now you're back, and we couldn't be happier. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Paul has pulled a Favre.

BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker got peeved yesterday when co-anchor Simon McCoy implied that his forecast wouldn't be accurate. So, he flipped McCoy the bird, without realizing he was on camera. The worst middle finger coverup ever then ensued. Video inside.

Paleontologists have discovered evidence of human habitation in Britain dating back almost a million years—possibly the "oldest uncontested site of human occupation of Europe." How did they figure this all out? Thanks to hyena poop, naturally.

Statistics assembled by England's Office of National Statistics show that Britons live on average 10 years longer than in the 1970s. They're also much fatter, and alcohol-related deaths have doubled since the 1990s. Happier and (somehow) healthier! [Telegraph]

UK Prime Minister David Cameron sure as hell isn't letting go of the maybe oil-rich Falkland Islands any time soon.

America has left the World Cup. Now who do we cheer for? For many, England is the fallback. Sports journalist Zach Dundas—author of the new book The Renegade Sportsman—explores the singular neuroses of an American rooting for England.
