People call things FAILs, when they aren’t FAILworthy at all. I attempt to find WINness in everything. This is another edition of some FAILs that I don’t think are really FAILs.
There is no way that this is a FAIL. The composition is incredible! The magenta borders really accent the figure's thighs.
At this level of competitive gameplay, your opponents will distract you with anything they can think of. If you succumb to that alleged-WIN in the corner, you will FAIL.
These firefighters are hardworking professionals. They work long hours, to do jobs most of us couldn't. But lunch starts at noon, everyday. No exceptions!
I know you think puns are stupid, but that's when humans think of them. It's amazing that this cat can even comprehend puns, let alone write one. She calls this performance "CAT-ctus". What further brilliance can we expect from this tiny feline?
This picture points out the inadequacies of the tenure system at American universities. Facts change over time, and professors must adapt. I say hire new instructors, so we can finally find out what 4 & 3 make.
I know you don't support Canadian autonomy, but this is a joke. The owners of this laminated sheet are humorously noting the nuances of Canadian English. You should learn for yourself. One day you might want to convince a girl from Edmonton, that you're from Calgary, and you do not want to slip up.
Hey buddy don't worry, you're still safe. That's not her real mouth. She's just wearing a mask with a cartoon face on it. She's not going to infect you.
Catch up on your FAILs that aren’t FAILS.

EDMONTON - Police are investigating the death of a 19-year-old man who collapsed at a rave early Monday morning at West Edmonton Mall.
The man is believed to have taken ecstasy, police said.
Detectives from the west division criminal investigation section are now searching for the person who may have given the man drugs.
Police were called to the Frost 2009 rave at the Edmonton Event Centre just before 4 a.m. and paramedics arrived shortly afterwards to transport the man to hospital, where he died at approximately 6 a.m. Two other men and a woman in their 20s, also suspected of taking ecstasy, were taken to hospital and released.
The 19-year-old attended Frost with three friends, police said. According to the Frost 2009 Facebook page, the licensed, 18-and-older event was an all-night party that began at 9 p.m. Sunday night and ended at 6 a.m. Monday. It featured more than a dozen DJs and was put on by promoters at Calgary’s Boodang Music Canada.
The man’s death is currently not considered criminal, police said. An autopsy has not yet been scheduled.
Police are asking for anyone with information about the incident to call the EPS Dispatch line at 780-423-4567.

Save for the hysterical woman, a purse, a laptop and the subsequent arrival of the police, it was like any other tackle for Kitwana Jones.
"Nobody was going to stop this guy. It was just women and old people out. So it was just like, ‘Hey KJ, you gotta do what you gotta do.’"

Given current economic conditions, Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel says it wouldn't be right for him to accept the $8,000-pay increase he is entitled to receive in 2009.
Without the raise, Mandel's annual salary will stay at $135,694, the same amount he was paid in 2008.
"I asked people to tighten their belt during the budget, and so it would be improper for me now to say that … I'm going to take a raise, which I don't think is reasonable given the state of the times and the economy," he said.Given current economic conditions, Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel says it wouldn't... more

After Phoenix Lander confirms ice in Mars soil earlier this year.Now comes big news NASA scientists have discovered enormous underground reservoirs of frozen water on Mars, away from its polar caps, in the latest sign that life might be sustainable on the Red planet. Ground-penetrating radar used by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reveals numerous huge glaciers up to one half-mile thick buried beneath layers of rock and debris. Researchers said one glacier is three time the size of Los Angeles in area. "All together, these glaciers almost certainly represent the largest reservoir of water ice on Mars that's not in the polar caps," said John Holt, a geophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin and lead author of a report about the discovery, which appears in the November 21 issue of the journal Science.

Cops hope Internet feed will help them find suspect.
A shooting that left a 30-year-old man dead yesterday was caught on camera, city cops said.
The city’s 20th homicide of the year unfolded before a traffic camera perched near a 170 Street and Whitemud Drive intersection.
Police said that’s where the driver’s side of an idling silver Infiniti was riddled with bullets, killing its driver and sending its male passenger running from the scene at around 2:20 a.m.
After at least nine shots were blasted, police said a little white car fled the scene as traffic cameras broadcast the scene to the Internet masses.
“Maybe there are some night owls that were watching these live feeds and might have seen something that will help the investigation,” said Edmonton Police Service spokesman Karen Carlson.
Although cameras offer live feeds to the public through the city’s website, they don’t actually record traffic, said transportation spokesman Ben Mittelsteadt.
“Basically, on weekdays, (they exist) so you can plan your route,” he said. “You can check the camera and see what traffic’s like.
“It’s been pretty valuable to a lot of motorists.”
Information on how heavily viewed the videos are was not immediately available.
Police suspect gang activities motivated yesterday’s killing and said the Edmonton victim was well known to the gang unit.
His death is Edmonton’s ninth gang- or drug-related killing this year. Cops hope Internet feed will help them find suspect.

Some Edmontonians are demanding production be halted on porn flicks being filmed in a west-end neighborhood.
"Stony Plain Road has enough problems," said a fuming Stuart McGrandle, owner of West Edmonton Knights Boxing Club.
McGrandle's gym is paces away from Real Productions, which just began filming near 151 Avenue and Stony Plain Road for Playboy TV's Boy Nexxt Door.
The Sherwood Park-based adult video company was also given the go-ahead last week to launch Northern Peaks, touted as Canada's first adult video channel.
But while the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission has endorsed the move, some residents have not.
"I think porn is disgusting," said Jennifer Thelwell, mother of four. "I'm a Christian. We don't like porn. I don't feel it should be broadcasted."
Others who spoke to Sun Media expressed disinterest in the matter, noting the seedy world of adult entertainment is no stranger to the neighborhood.
Not far from Real Productions are several other porn-themed businesses, including a sex-toy shop and an X-rated entertainment center.
While both of those companies ooze sexuality - with flashy signs and scantily dressed mannequins - Real Productions offers no obvious indications of what goes on behind its unmarked glass door.
While Real Productions has its critics, an employee contends the business is legitimate and has a place in Canadian media.
Ashley Corsiatto, vice-president of marketing, said Friday the company was expecting a certain amount of backlash.
"We know there (are) going to be naysayers, but ... we know this is a business," she told Sun Media.
"We know we do it well. We know there's quality and professionalism to it. This is going to be a subscription channel. This is not going to be in anyone's home who did not intentionally go out, pursue it and wants it in their home."
