Oh, vander, it's all falling apart around you, isn't it? The bridge is falling down around your ears.

I’m glad to have a youthful appearance, but I wish my skin would stop breaking out. Even the filter can’t help 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

-Who... Who are you?

-You invoked me, kid, so you who I am. What do you want?

-But I didn't think it'd work!

-Well, if you're not interested...

-No, wait! I... It's my aunt. She's very sick and...

-And you don't want her to die, right? You know how unoriginal that is? Please, tell me at least you know the price.

-Yes, I'll... Give you my soul.

The thing took a second look at Peter then. At first he just saw a young human, a priest by the looks of it, with desperation painted all over. But now that he looked closely, the kid had big brown eyes, an adorable, honest face and a pair of lips that brought up an instinct Tony thought lost for a lot of time.

Peter looked too, trying to find something, anything that told him the man in front of him wasn't human. But that being was just like anyone else he had ever met. Well, that's not true. He was the most attractive, most impressive person he'd ever met, too good looking and too distant, like cold ice touching skin, and his eyes would bright with a certain colour Peter had never seen before when light hit them just right. Peter felt a shiver run down his spine.

-That is. Your soul. But what if I told you there's another option, young man? What would you give me to save your aunt and your soul from the pit?

-Everything -the answer came of Peters lioss before he had time to think. He shouldn't have said that, not in front of a thing like that, and the smile that slowly formed on the demon's face roles him as much.

-Good, because that's exactly what I want.

“ Americans cannot locate North Korea on a map” 

A reporter from the Jimmy Kimmel Live talk show went to Hollywood Boulevard to ask the man and woman on the street where North Korea is.

None of the individuals interviewed could locate North Korea while some of the gussies were as wildly inaccurate as to locate North Korea in Canada, Oman, Kazakhstan, Argentina, Iran, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Vietnam, and Pakistan. Notice that unlike some western maps, Russia is correctly listed as an Asian country. Now watch Americans being clueless about a country their President is threatening to reduce to flame.

“A Bit of History”

" Until the oil industry nationalized in Iran, 1951, it was cheaper for Iran to buy oil from the Soviet Union than from the Anglo-Iranian oil company (later BP) which was stealing resources out of Iran."!
