OVER-THE-SHOULDER MONKEY HOLDERSIt's not always easy to find a babysitter on short notice. When a woman from Amherst County in rural Virginia had a court date she couldn't miss, she couldn't find anyone to watch her seven-week-old marmoset, Cara. So she did what any parent would do: she dressed Cara in a diaper and a polka-dotted frock and stashed the monkey in her bra. Surprisingly, no one in the courtroom noticed. However, while later filling out some paperwork, she pulled out Cara from the best hiding place ever, to show off the "daughter," who was purchased on eBay. The woman later explained, "Well, would you leave your child at home? She has to be close to me."

James is on the vanguard of a truly extraordinary future: now that cheese has been infused with the flavor of ketchup, it's only a matter of time before entire cheeseburgers — with beef, onions, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and all — are compressed into pre-sliced cheese singles so you can carry them around in your wallet.
