India came to a grinding halt before the final match of the India-Pakistan series, taking place in Pakistan. This series is probably the most imporant thing happening in the universe for most people on the subcontinent. The political scenario is hilarious - apparently, the outcome of this match has important repurcussions in the upcoming Indian elections. How great would it be if the US presidential candidates had to worry about who won the NCAA basketball tournament?

India went on to WIN the match, and THE ENTIRE SERIES - becoming the first Indian team to win a series on Pakistani soil. YAY!!

Speaking of things coming to a grinding halt, a confused county in Oregon has stopped giving marriage licenses to ANYONE. I knew this was going to start descending into nonsensical hilarity. The headline is worthy of The Onion.
