Jerry Buting, one of Making a Murderer subject Stephen Avery's original lawyers, recently told Rolling Stone that "internet sleuths" (obsessed fans) found evidence in a photo of victim Teresa Halbach that lawyers missed. Buting hopes new evidence like this could change the entire case, by opening the possibility of another trial. 

This new key evidence is literally "key" evidence. The picture, shown frequently on the news and in the Netflix docu-series, apparently shows Halbach holding a key fob with several keys. This is in contradiction to the one lone key police allegedly found when searching Avery's bedroom on November 8, 2005 (three days after finding nothing on their initial search on November 5, interestingly). 

In the interview, Buting says he understands why people online are fascinated with the case, and that the help is not unappreciated. "We were only two minds. What I'm discovering is that a million minds are better than two. Some of these people online have found things with a screen shot of a picture that we missed."

This evidence might have helped Avery's defense team prove their case that Halbach's key was planted in his bedroom by police. And if Avery does get a new trial, the new evidence could be quite useful. So it turns out that all the amateur detectives who found themselves obsessively poring the Internet for clues weren't wasting their time after all. And you should now feel free to use this incident to justify any other weird, obsessive rabbit-hole trips down the Internet you might want to take in the future. 

Redditor upvote-craver asked the masses, "What is your most fucked up first date experience?" and boy, did they deliver. It can always get worse than just being bored or not attracted to someone. There are fake identities, threats and "tests" that prove nothing except that when you take a chance on love, you're being very, very brave.

1. When there might be a fake wing man.

2. When you go with the flow.

3. When his opening line is too intense.

4. When he's too focused on the details.

5. When the guy really wants to finish first.

6. When the date ends in reporting someone for elder abuse.

7. When you punch yourself in the balls.

8. When the date ends with calling the ambulance.

9. When he thinks kidnapping is a compliment.

10. When it's a set up.

11. When you know what you'll be eating for dinner.

12. When he pulls a Classic Schmosby.

13. When you end up getting audited.

14. When your date's dad knows he blew it.

15. When they just didn't know it was a date...

Aw.

A woman in England was fined £145 (that's $200 in real American bucks) for eating a banana while driving, and it wasn't even "seductively." Elsa Harris is a 45-year-old single mother in a town called Christchurch. Recently, she found herself stuck in a traffic jam and needed a fruity snack.

When a police officer saw her take her hand off the wheel to peel the banana, she was charged with distracted driving. Ms. Harris appealed the fine on the spot, but ultimately pleaded guilty because she figured she would lose in court.

Not only did she have to pay a fine, but she also got penalty points that will hike up her insurance.

"It is the same crime as someone who has knocked a pedestrian over - while mine are for eating a banana," she told The Daily Mail.

Her local police put out a Facebook post defending their decision to prosecute, and included puns so that people would think they're cool, even thought they're clearly the worst:

They wrote (puns highlighted to maximize their lameness):

**Court Update**

This update may apPEEL to our followers. You may remember a case covered by the local and national media. A driver was offered a driver awareness course for not having proper control of their vehicle whilst driving. They had been seen peeling a banana whilst driving with no hands on the steering wheel, risking the safety of other road users.

The driver slipped up when they declined the offer of a course and elected to challenge the case in Court. However the driver entered a guilty plea and received 3 penalty points and fines totaling £145.00.

We appreciate that everyone's lives are hectic and busy but please think twice before eating and drinking at the wheel.

A rotten decision. Here's hoping the cops don't give out these tickets in bunches.

Yesterday, the first woman to ever quit as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, endorsed wife-collector Donald J. Trump to be the President of these United States. Today, Palin's fiery speech has been put in the mouth of her soulmate—not Tina Fey, but Iggy "rap is so fun" Azalea. Mixing Palin's folksy syncopation with last March's infamous clip of Azalea's virally awful live performance. The result is the best conservative rap since (Googles "conservative rap") ever. It's the best ever.

Here's the original, so you can relive the biggest gibberish hit of 2015:

Quite often when a woman leaves her house, she encounters a guy who can't understand that she's not into him. This happens to Imgur user lucy2shoes, who lives with her boyfriend, often enough that she's taken to freely giving out a wrong number when she meets particularly persistent dudes. That wrong number just so happens to be her brother's real number, and he has a sense of humor.

A few weeks ago, one lucky guy received lucy2shoes's brother's digits and instead of revealing the truth, the brother had some fun by quoting the well-known fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter. The suitor was so eager and oblivious that the text conversation lasted much, much longer than it should have.

"I'm half hoping he tries again," lucy2shoes wrote on Imgur. Judging by this guy's engagement, the possibility of that happening is much higher than it should be.

Look out, East Coast—a "potentially crippling, possibly even historic" blizzard is headed your way, just in time for the weekend. Hurray! Snow! Everyone loves snow, right? Severe, incapacitating, property-damaging, life-threatening snow. Thanks, polar vortex! 

See? Global warming's not real. 

A blizzard for the ages! One to tell your grandchildren about, assuming you make it out alive.  

According to one meteorologist, the "primo" spot for snowfall will likely be the area between Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. Congratulations, you guys! 

As we all know, weather is a fickle bitch, and a lot could change before then, so the East Coast might not be crushed in a massive onslaught of paralyzing, high-impact snow. But keep your snow shovels and sleds handy, and maybe put 911 on speed dial, just in case. 

Despite going by the name "Jeb!",Jeb Bush does not bother to learn how to pronounce names. While attempting to slam Michelle Obama for not attending a summit between President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, he mispronounced Malia Obama's name as "Malayla." (He was so close to saying "Malala," which would have been even funnier/sadder).

"Every meeting I had in Beijing started out for the first 10 minutes lambasting me about why it was, as an American, why it was that we insulted China," he said on Tuesday, "And I’m thinking, you know what, it could be that Mrs. Obama was worried about the science project of Malayla."

It's odd to criticize FLOTUS, who had no obligation to attend the summit. But not knowing how "Malia" is pronounced also implies that Jeb hasn't watched a news broadcast in the past seven years, since Malia's outfits and college admissions process are frequently discussed on air.

"It's possible he went out of his way to insult a country of... 1.3 billion people," Jeb said of President Obama, mirroring the fact that he went out of his way to insult the Obamas for taking care of their children.

It's well documented that the Hemsworths are an attractive group. Chris plays Thor in all the Avengers movies, a Nordic God of hotness, and Liam is 50% of Jennifer Lawrence's love interests in The Hunger Games series. She even admitted to taking those lips for a spin IRL (but don't tell Miley Cyrus). Their parents are gorgeous, too:

There's a lesser known, but of course very good-looking brother named Luke, who is also an actor, though he hasn't dominated any huge movie franchises. Yet. He does have a popular Instagram account where he shares himself holding Australian lizards, his various travels, and his beautiful family. On Tuesday, he posted a pic that included Chris Hemsworth and the arm he uses to fling Thor's Hammer around:

"Do you even lift?" seems like a damning question, but it doesn't look like anyone's holding grudges:

After a woman left a one-star review for a bar on Yelp, the bar replied and made her review look quite thoughtless. The establishment that received the review is called The Iron Horse, and it's a dive bar in New York City. A reviewer named Megan, who sounds like one of those customers that bartenders love to hate, was upset by the loud music and questionable food (two features of every dive bar in the United States). Here's her review:

Wouldn't recommend this to eat or for a quite drink. I met some friends here at 3pm in the afternoon and the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other. The service was terrible just to get a drink at the bar. The food was also terrible.

What Megan did not know is that these are characteristics that make The Iron Horse proud. The bar's owner shot back with a Yelp post of his own, pointing out that she clearly was looking for a different kind of watering hole:

The hunter has become the hunted. Megan received one star from The Iron Horse, and she earned it because she took the time to write a Yelp review complaining about noise when the bar's description clearly says "loud." She may as well have complained that they didn't serve coffee, as the owner pointed out that she typically frequents quiet coffee shops.

Proprietors of dive bars never take flack from customers, not even on the Internet.

Yesterday on ABC's daytime talk show (yell show?) The View, the ladies discussed Jada Pinkett Smith's #OscarsSoWhite boycott and Whoopi Goldberg came out swinging—by saying that boycotting the Oscars would just hurt its host, Chris Rock, who is only the second black solo host in Oscar history (Goldberg was the first). Goldberg also said that the problem wasn't the Oscars, it was the movie industry as a whole, and that the ceremony was a scapegoat for institutional problems within the industry. It's similar to what Lupita N'yongo said yesterday, except on The View, so 100 times more shout-y.

"I make movies for a living. Let me tell you what the problem is—It's not that the people doing the nominating are too white," she said. "The problem is the people who can be helping to make movies that have Blacks and Latinos and women and all that—that money doesn't come to you because the idea is that there is no place for Black movies."

"Chris Rock is the host of the Academy Awards and so to boycott him seems just as bad as what everybody is saying," she said. "We have this conversation every year and it pisses me off." 

"Boycotting doesn't work and it's also a slap in the face to Chris Rock," she added.

Because we just can't get enough of the Netflix docu-series Making a Murderer, comedian Jena Friedman recently sat down with the universally-loathed prosecutor from the controversial case, Ken Kratz, who finally revealed something undeniably true: "I was a dick." 

Kratz explained to Friedman, "I'm not that person anymore," referencing the "bravado" and general awfulness he displays in the series. In fact, he's so different he's apparently not a Leo anymore, since the astrology sign dates were changed and you know what, Ken, no one cares. 

Friedman wasn't afraid to address the serious issues, asking Kratz questions like, "Do you think your lack of likability cock-blocked your case?" She also asked Kratz about, among other things, the sexting scandal that led to his resignation from the position of Wisconsin District Attorney in 2010. He said that his "respect that [he has] for all women" prevented him from telling her what he'd sext her, which is maybe not as completely true as the part where he said, "I was a dick."

Kratz also mentioned that he's a defense attorney with a private practice now. Interesting… so if Stephen Avery ever does get another trial, could there be a chance Kratz would step in to defend him?  ​

Even though Friends was on the air for ten long years, people still want more. In response to the undying interest in the sitcom, Scottish cartoonist Andy Pandy created new scripts for the show by "[feeding] a recurrent neural network with the scripts for every episode of friends." In layman's terms: he went on a computer and did things.

The scenes touch on common Friends subjects like romance and pizza. However, the results don't quite make sense. 

Monica: I'm ran off.
Rachel: I know.
Rachel: (To Monica) Wow, you still have to get married. I -duck to work!
Monica: Hey Ross, come here!
(They kiss)
Phoebe: No! I would like to propose to my kid?
(They all stand in bed, then is upset.)
(Time lapse.)
Joey: Seriously give me a clown on the table that's all.
Monica: (whispering) She's in London.

Chandler: Well, I proposed to my shoe...
Joey: (laughs) This is his father... (Cave children.) Hey Pheebs?
Monica: I hate men! I hate men!
Ross: What are you gonna do?
(All the dinner enters.)
Monica: Happy Gandol.
(Pause for a beautiful women walk into his apartment and she keeps glaring at Joey's jacket.)
Monica: Okay, I'm going to Minsk.
Rachel: Yeah, sure.

Joey: (entering, curling voice) Rach, enough. I'm so sorry.
Rachel: What kind of people do these thing?
Joey: Ergui...
Rachel: (to Joey) I gave you my wife in soap opera. (pause) Uh! (snaps off her jacket.) I have a baby!
Joey: Yeah!
Rachel: Okay!
Gary: Okay. 
Joey: Yeah!
Monica: Oh my God!
Phoebe: Maybe you need a pizza.
Chandler: (laughs) You got him baby Geller?! (Rachel shouts something)

Van Damme: I'll go in a crap.
Monica: Keep talking!
Phoebe: Wow lady! You're just gonna come over to his jumpy! (They start to cry.)
Chandler: So Phoebe likes my pants.
Monica: Chicken Bob!
Chandler: (in a muffin) (Runs to the girls to cry) Can I get some presents.

The most noticeably different part of this re-imagining is that Ross is largely absent.

But that may be a welcome change. 

David Blevins, the Ireland correspondent for Sky News, set off a discussion about fashion double-standards earlier today when he tweeted about female politicians wearing the same outfit. Blevins pointed out that journalist Tracey Magee and first ministers Nicola Sturgeon and Arlene Foster all own a very similar suit:

Get it? Because they're women, they share clothes! And it's weird for them to wear the same outfit! Sturgeon quickly replied with a picture of Blevins, pointing out the obvious:

Blevins then apologized with the hashtag #JacketGate, because a Twitter fight isn't real until it has its own hashtag.

And even better, he followed it with a self-depreciating retweet:

Now that's the sign of a true apology. 

A pilot faked an in-flight emergency so he could creatively propose to his girlfriend. While it's probably not advisable to nearly give a heart attack to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, they both lived to tell the tale, and have a great video to show their grandchildren (after they explain what a GoPro was). And it takes much more skill to fly a plane for a proposal than it does to tie a ring to a puppy's collar or put on a silly lobster suit.

If you think about it, there's not much choice other than to say yes if it's a proposal in a two-seater plane. It would make for a very, very awkward return flight if she needed time to think about it. Congrats to the pilot and co-pilot.

The town of Gothenburg, Sweden awoke Sunday morning to a light snowfall and a frozen river. Also, a penis. Not their lovers' phalluses (well, maybe some did), but to a work of unsolicited public art in King's Park. Some brave and determined soul had slid out onto thin ice just to share their dick pic with the world. Here's a photo from one concerned citizen:

Some people cleaning the park noticed it from the ground level and alerted professional penis cleaners from the Gothenburg's Parks and Landscape Administration. Unfortunately, or very fortunately depending on how you look at the world, the ice had become too brittle to safely trod upon. So, either the person who made it is very light, or they thought potentially drowning was a worthwhile risk.

Mashable reports that the director of the Administration, Darko Brankovic, said in local tabloid Aftonbladet that there's nothing much they can do until warm weather thaws and softens the penis or more snow falls to gently cover it. Also, that he could "understand both those who think that the penis is offensive and those who only see the fun in it all." Very diplomatic, sir.

At the Golden Globes, Jennifer Lawrence won an award and lost the Internet's heart when she responded a little sharply to a reporter on his phone at the press conference afterwards. Not a huge deal, but lots of people criticized her, saying English was not his first language and he was obviously reading from his device, not swiping on Tinder. Afterwards, Lawrence presumably went home and lived her incredible life not caring what the Internet thinks. But she still has other female celebs—who are used to being unnecessarily criticized all the time—to back her up. Anne Hathaway came to Lawrence's defense, posting a letter to the Internet on Friday:

She wrote:

Dear the Internet,
It's become pretty clear that the Jennifer Lawrence "scolding" was taken out of context and that she was dryly joking with a journalist who was indeed using his phone to take photos of her.
Let's not continue the sad but common practice of building people - especially women- up just to viciously tear them down when we perceive them to have misstepped. Jennifer is a beautiful, talented, wildly successful, popular, FOUR TIME OSCAR NOMINATED young woman. Please let us not punish her for these things.

Sincerely,
A J-Law fan

Signing it "A J-Law fan," instead of "Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway," may be the hardest and most meaningful thing a celebrity has ever done.
