A pet cat turned into a “ball of fury” and trapped a mother and her adult daughter inside their California home. The furious feline, named Cuppy, attacked the pair every time they tried to make an escape from the property in Chula Vista, San Diego.

They were forced to call 911 for police assistance after barricading themselves inside a bedroom, according to KGTV-TV. The animal became incensed when one of the women got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom on August 12. Armed officers were filmed in a standoff with the irate pet before he eventually calmed down and strolled out of the house.

Any excuse.

Norwegian artist Markus Moestue is currently travelling across Norway on his homemade Frankenbike complete with polystyrene-carved velociraptor chassis.  And were you to stop him and ask why, he would tell you that he’s built it…

…for a trip across the bible belt in Norway. it’s a protest against the dogmatic religious education of children, and the idea originated from the theme-parks of creationists that teach children that humans and dinosaurs used to live together.

See? Now you like him.
