Amazon’s website went down for about half an hour on Monday, but it wasn’t immediately clear if it was due to a cyberattack by hackers or terrorists.

- Everyone loved the fireworks show at the end of the evening…until they realized “Jihad The Clown” had accidentally blown himself up.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Wednesday!
