It's time for another Random Clippings episode! While I'm researching for the regular, full-size episodes, I often come across short articles that are amusing, shocking, or a little of both. None of the articles are long enough to fill their own episode, so I gather them in a folder until the perfect moment comes along to share them---like today.
