The Lighter Side

Nasty nuns, rick-roll, shroom shenanigans

A Dallas man managed to rick-roll the entire city via a large QR code.

A woman posing as a fake nun has taken to shouting “Christ, come into me,” while dancing to Christian music in public. She has since been banned from nearby monasteries and churches for “writhing about” at the altar (April 3).
