Some Middle Eastern Pizza Hut locations are now serving "Crown Crust" pizzas with a regal ring of cheeseburgers or chicken tenders cooked right into the crust. It's two great tastes that devastate your digestive system great together!

It looks like the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell was just the first step down a slippery slope toward the eventual fast food singularity.

Getting bombed with plastic dinosaurs while trying to sneak in a nap is not a good way to wake up, but this feline cares very little. Maybe the apatosaurus is scratching an itch.

Just as the news that George Zimmerman has been granted bail has hit, artist Michael D'Antuono's painting reflecting the killing is circulating online. Entitled A Tale of Two Hoodies, the picture not so subtilely hints at the fundamental issue of Trayvon Martin's death.

Hate walking? There's an awkward new way of getting around the streets of Toronto: Baxi, the piggyback taxi service.

Baxi driver walker Nick Latimer hangs out in Queen West wearing a pig nose and a pink "Baxi" t-shirt, and will (literally!) pick up passengers for a fee.

The service is a promotional stunt for Latimer's film, Hogtown, a noir-ish tale of a Baxi-turned-killer.

Here's the synopsis:

An insomniac who spends his nights piggybacking people in a nightmare of a city known as Hogtown. Carl Gilmour (a.k.a. Baxi) piggybacks a slew of scum bags ranging from the mildly annoying to the armed and dangerous. These "pigs" push Carl to the edge of sanity forcing him to violent, bloody street justice. A vigilante is born. Piggybacker by day, butcher by night.

On second thought, I'll just take the subway.

George Zimmerman may be freed on bond this Friday, the New York Daily News reports.

Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said he was confident Zimmerman would be able to walk out of court after his 9 a.m. bail hearing, but that his client may be safer behind bars.

"I just hope we can get my client out to someplace safely. There have been threats on his life," he said.

Keeping Zimmerman in jail would require establishing that he is a flight risk and a danger to the community, but neither seems likely given Zimmerman's notoriety as the shooter of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

"He's not going anywhere even if he's released. Where's he going to go? He has one of the most recognizable faces on the planet," one expert told the Daily News.

Zimmerman's bond is likely to be "$1,000 or more."

20-year-old Michael Baker of Jenkens, Kentucky, was charged last month with stealing gasoline from a police cruiser after he posted photographic evidence of the theft -- complete with grin and bird-flip -- on Facebook, where it was passed around town and eventually seen by local police.

The photo has since been taken down, but Baker's Facebook page is still up. On his wall, he told a friend, "yea lol i went too (sic) jail over facebook."

Baker posted bail yesterday.
