	Have you ever wondered what happens if you put a jar over top of a hole in a beehive? If the answer to that is “no”, you will be kicking yourself for not wondering about this sooner after seeing what happens.
Here at the Big Bad Blog, we love math jokes. This one is fantastic.
	It would seem that the security features on touchscreen phones can be hacked using a ‘smudge attack’. This information will feature in an upcoming episode of Burn Notice, most probably.

This morning’s coffee is dedicated to the multitude of searchers who find their way to the blog. I have stats that tell me what you’re looking for: eruptions, tattoos and ghostbusters. Also, I like mustaches.

So here you are, Internet. Everything you wanted to see in a morning coffee, but were afraid to ask for.

	Bullying is a real problem in schools these days, and has led to several things. One of these is the existence of anti-bullying workshops in schools. Another is parents suing schools for teaching their children not to bully gay kids.
Passengers on a Continental Airlines flight were forced to remain on the plane overnight on a small plane not suited for such things. My personal opinion is that those who made and enforced such a decision should be charged with forcible confinement.
	Just in case you were worried that the education system in the UK does not properly recognise and reward out-of-classroom achievements: Competent teenager gets official certificate in recognition of his ability to board a bus.
Police officer has no idea who Bob Dylan is, forces him to return to his hotel to get his ID.
