Saturday News May 23, 2009

Its Saturday and time to bore you again with some probably useless information that I learned this morning from NPR, newspapers and magazines. I'll restrict myself to 10 items.

01. During a Belgian bodybuilding contest, all of the contestants disappeared suddenly when they learned that a steroid tester had arrived.

02. India has 41 cities with over one million people. The total Indian population of one billion is three times the population of the United States. (Genius level IQ is supposed to be had by 2% of any population. This means that India has 13 million more geniuses than the U.S.)

03. Paula Deen's husband is drinking Slim-Fast, trying to lose weight so that he can write a book with the title: I Lost 95 Pounds While Married to Paula Deen. Should be a best-seller.

04. I'm not sure I heard this right, but I think that one of Paula's recipes contains hamburger and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The doughnuts take the place of hamburger rolls.

05, The Car Talk guys talked about sounds coming from the trunk area of a Toyota Camry. (I have this problem.) Click and Clack suggested replacement of the "anti-sway bar bushings," whatever and wherever they are. (Elaine had her own suggestion: " Take the body out of the trunk!")

06. If you ever need to locate a tire that is grossly underinflated, touch all of them and the hottest one is the choice.

07. The careless co-pilot of the plane that crashed in Buffalo made $16,000 per year. (You get what you pay for, right?)

08. The Vatican now has a website called "Pope2You" (I figure that they might have wanted to use "Pope-Yes", but that was already taken by an American fast food company.)

09. A couple found a Cheetos bite that resembles Jesus. They plan to offer it on EBay.

10. A New York court has ruled that golfers are not legally required to yell "Fore!" when teeing off. The court said the the danger of getting hit is a natural risk of playing the game.

ENOUGH!
