A 33-year-old man was admitted into an emergency room after a motorcycle crash in Germany where doctors noticed the berries to his twig were hard, swollen, and blue. His left leg was also shorter than it should've been. Why? "Femoral-Head Dislocation to the Scrotum." Yes, the top of his femur was sheared off and shoved into his ballsack.

When will they land in the U.S.?

Today, KFC unveiled a completely novel concept that could impact coffee consumers and chicken bucket enthusiasts everywhere: Edible coffee cups. Metro UK released the news this morning, noting that the cups — which are called Scoffee cups — are made out of cookies shaped like cups that have been "wrapped in sugar paper and lined with a layer of glorious white chocolate." The outer edible wrapper is branded with KFC's logo, making it look like a regular coffee cup from the outside.

KFC partnered with food scientists at The Robin Collective in the UK to develop the cups. The sugar paper wrapper insulates the cookie part of the cup, which is designed to soften while consumers drink the warm beverage inside. The designers even infused the cups with different scents, "known to improve your mood." The cups have not yet been released in the UK, but sources suggest they could be in stores by summer.

Edible fried chicken buckets that smell like sunshine would be amazing.

A spokesperson for The Robin Collective told the Telegraph: "Not only do the edible cups taste amazing, but they smell delicious too. We've infused different cups with a variety of ambient aromas including Coconut Sun Cream, Freshly Cut Grass and Wild Flowers." The Robin Collective said that these scents were meant to evoke "positive memories we associate with warm weather, sunshine and summer holidays. Things that make everyone smile."

The edible coffee cup concept is not new, but KFC is the first chain restaurant to develop and manufacture an edible cup. Eater has reached out to KFC U.S. to determine whether or not these coffee cups will land in the U.S., and — more importantly — if they can be, ahm, supersized. Because edible fried chicken buckets that smell like sunshine would be amazing.

Down one with 40 seconds left, the Heat should've had two possessions to win the ballgame. Instead, Norris Cole accidentally inbounded the ball when he was really just trying to throw it to Hassan Whiteside so that he could inbound it. Cole ended up getting the ball exactly where he wanted, but for some reason didn't think it had been a legal inbounds, so he had Whiteside step out of bounds while tossing him the ball. Whoops.

The most intriguing news out of signing day—at least for those who find tracking every tiny movement a bit weird—was that a 6'7", 410 pound manchild signed a letter of intent to play football at BYU.

Klay Thompson had a nice little first half. Then the third quarter started and Klay ignited, flames engulfing his person from head to toe. Here's all of it:

He started the period with 13 points and ended it with FIFTY points. This may honestly be the densest hot streak in the history of professional basketball. It was like watching an atom split on the hardwood.

The stats and records and outpourings of awe:

- 37 is the record for points in a single quarter, destroying the record of 33 held by George Gervin and Carmelo Anthony. And Klay didn't start firing until after the ten-minute mark. Didn't even REALLY get going until mid-way through the quarter.

- NINE three-pointers is the record for threes in a quarter, breaking the mark of 8 set by Michael Redd and Joe Johnson.

- Klay went 13-for-13 in the quarter, tying the record for field goals in a quarter set by David Thompson.

- Here is the most beautiful single-quarter shot chart you'll ever see:

Not an X to be found.

Correction: Klay averaged 2.64 points per shot in the third. His True Shooting percentage was a mere 132%.

- In the final seconds of the third, Thompson decided to pass and I punched myself in the forehead because I was so angry at him for doing so. On the very last possession of the quarter, someone fouled him, and he went ahead and buried a jumper that coooould have counted for continuation. Instead, he just hit both free throws.

- After hitting free throws for points 51 and 52 in the fourth quarter, Klay missed a shot and I vomited.

- The Kings had 22 points in the period to Thompson's 37. The Kings are a whole basketball team.

- And yeah, he ended that game by himself:

The thing people didn't see is that the Kings were tied 60-60 when Klay nuked them out of the building. He ended the game with that run.

— Tom Ziller (@teamziller) January 24, 2015

- Here is a true fact:

ONLY TWO OTHER WARRIORS SCORED POINTS IN THE QUARTER TWO EACH

— Dan Devine (@YourManDevine) January 24, 2015

Two of those points were free throws, the other two were in a basket Thompson assisted. He was responsible for every field goal in the period.

No way he got 37 points in a qt!!!!!!!!!! Oh my lord.

Klay had that 2k perfect release on them boys lol

— Paul George (@Yg_Trece) January 24, 2015

And in closing, here's Klay checking out his stat sheet:

"Oh, sweet, I blacked out for 10 minutes and wrote the Bible."

Thompson finished with 52 points. It's his own fault he didn't get more, since he put Golden State so far ahead that he made the game a blowout and got pulled to a standing ovation early in the fourth.

Scientists at the University of Rochester have created a metal that is so extremely hydrophobic that the water bounces on it as if it were repelled by a magic force field. Instead of using chemical coatings they used lasers to etch a nanostructure on the metal itself. It will not wear off, like current less effective methods.
