15 Comics With Hilariously Twisted Endings By “Poorly Drawn Lines” (New Pics)

Um, I have rather more data points. I once personally watched 25 Peromyscus launch into space from my deer stand- 15' high measured for legal purposes - they'd been nesting there out of season - I counted them as they jumped, and watched 100% of them hit the ground running. They did not tumble as they fell, they spread their legs out like they were trying to mimic a flying squirrel; all under control, landing on tummies/feet. Not one death or injury. Other observers concur. My PhD work all had to do with small mammals- my guess on the death- "from their hand" and the post you read - is that an untrained handler damaged the mouse before it broke free; happens often. Anytime I had a new person in my lab, they were trained in handling, under all the many conditions needed- otherwise- deaths, and escapes- and bites.

ooo. DON'T DO THAT. I can tell you 100 stories- and so can anyone familiar- where the punch line is "and I saw it sold at auction the next year for $10K." When they offer you $500 sight unseen - it's valuable. Get a second- professional- opinion.

Oh, please don't just mess about with a Picasso- you want to wake up some day- after it's been stolen or rained on- and find out it was worth...... you do know what Picasso sells for, right?

Me too! Went into our Savers - they had 4 office chairs- all middling- and one great looking one. Sat on it- it was soaking wet; seat full of water. That was why it was there- and nobody wanted it. I... dried it out! Fancy that! Paid $10 - retails over $1,000. I smile about that .

Apparently, work of the glass artist Peter Bramhall, along with the orb's stamped stand.

Not me, but my friend's grandmother was at a yard sale and bought a framed sketch cause she thought it looked neat. Turned out to be a genuine Picasso sketch. No idea what it was worth, but she paid like a dollar for it. I should also add that his grandmother was already filthy rich, so she just hung it up and was like "meh, that's neat".

My boyfriend bought me a cheap graphics tablet for maybe $50 or something. He knew that I loved to draw. With this tablet, I found a job as an artist and made my dream come true.
