Why do I get the feeling that Someone is trying to gather up a whole bunch of people before Trump sets off a nuclear war?

Unfortunately, what that suggestion promptly brought to my mind was Tom Godwin's SF Horror short "The Harvest." Quote:"Let's eat the small ones first; they're delicious and there's plenty for all."
What the aliens are talking about eating is human souls, which they periodically harvest by using mind control to stir up major wars. Oh, and our religious notions about God and angels are based purely on the distorted recollections of someone who was almost harvested. There's no one benevolent out there.

Has anybody looked underneath Trump's hairdo to see if there is a 3 digit number with a sum total of 18 tattoed on him?

Spotted on the SJGames forums: Was 2016 especially dangerous for celebrities? An empirical analysis. (TL;DR: Yes.)
Assuming this thread isn't just for human celebrities: Orca 'Granny' missing and presumed dead If you've been whale-watching near Vancouver in the last century and you brought along a camera, you probably have a photo of Granny.

Weird. I don't remember him as Hymie, despite being a big Get Smart fan as a kid. But I do remember him as Robin Hood in When Things Were Rotten.
