Behavior throughout the world did not improve during the month of August, and may have actually gotten worse as the dog days dragged along. This month we learned that Hall Pass is a horribly accurate comedy, that you should be very careful if a DJ is staring too hard at you, and that some teachers really love the high school experience.

Also, keep in mind that an angry stripper is your worst enemy. We're entering the final quarter of the year, which means the alleged end of the world is rapidly approaching for all of us.

Enjoy the 25 Most Ratchet News Stories of August 2012—just don't enjoy them too much.
