They Really Are Nuts
There are videos of Eagles fans climbing light poles slicked with Crisco, fans throwing beer at Vikings fans and even a fan who was arrested for punching a police horse. But the best one has to be the fan that got pumped up watching a group of fellow Eagles fans on a train heading in the opposite direction. This guy wanted to get them excited and started running with the train car — then hitting the pole and

Why the US considers parts of Mexico just as dangerous to visit as Syria and Yemen
How the heroin trade explains the US-UK failure in Afghanistan
After fighting the longest war in its history, the US stands at the brink of defeat in Afghanistan. How could this be possible? How could the world’s sole superpower have battled continuously for more than 16 years – deploying more than 100,000 troops at the conflict’s peak, sacrificing the lives of nearly 2,300 soldiers, spending more than $1tn (£740bn) on its military operations, lavishing a record $100bn more on “nation-building”, helping fund and train an army of 350,000 Afghan allies – and still not be able to pacify one of the world’s most impoverished nations?
The Tax Plan is Working
Apple Inc. told employees that it’s issuing a bonus of $2,500 worth of restricted stock units, following the introduction of the new U.S. tax law, according to people familiar with the matter.
The iPhone maker will begin issuing stock grants to most employees worldwide in the coming months, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. The move comes on the same day Apple said it would bring back most of its cash from overseas and spend $30 billion in the U.S. over the next five years, funding an additional technical support campus, data centers and 20,000 new employees.
