Hell froze over.

Because as of today, you can purchase an actual CD by Guns N' Roses called Chinese Democracy, the long-awaited and not-really-expected-since-2002-
or-so album by Axl Rose and his current band.

Many thought this character-building exercise in bleak, Waiting for Godot-style fan patience would go on for a few decades more. So this is kind of a pleasant surprise.

And to make it go down a little easier, and get lots of free publicity, Dr. Pepper is offering a free soda to every person in America. Want some? Sign up here.
