I don't get it... but I shall add to the randomness:

In the US, a woman sued a microwave oven company after having microwaved her cat (and it dying). She said there was no warning against her action on the appliance.

For those of you who say you didn't get it let me explain: it's random facts, one of those random facts is about Mr. Potatoe head being writen in on votes for Mayor. I found that fact the funniest so I chose that as the topic. Do you get it now?

Randomness is good. 3nodding I just had to clarify so no one's head would explode while they were running around trying to figure it out... that gets messy sweatdrop
