Iran Is Training an Army of Female Ninjas
Iran might be trying to give the world a new reason to wet its pants with its constant talk of nuclear weapons, and how it’s totally not working on them, you guys, but it, like, totally would if it were OK.

10 Signs You Are Too Excited About St. Patrick’s Day
