On this snowy day in Westminster, Maryland, I am very happy because I just learned ten new things from Wait Wait Don't Tell Me that will enrich my life by feeding my imagination. And for your edification as well, I will list them below, plus something that I learned yesterday that I probably should have known before this time.
01. A study has shown that crying babies always wake up women, but seldom men, although men might just be faking sleep.
02. There is a scandal in China related to cricket fighting.
03. There is a hotel in Dubai that has put refrigeration under the sand on their beach so that it would be more comfortable for their guests to walk or lay on.
04. A building is planned for Dubai, the location of which will be a "surprise." (It will be 80 floors high and each floor will rotate.)
05. There is a bar in Dubai that advertises that they only cater to the "filthy rich."
06. There are new combination plurals for bad financial guys.
A felon of bankers. ..or.. more seasonal: A scrooge of bankers.
07. The Russians have invented a vodka pill.
08. A baker in Britain has instituted "divorce cakes." The figures on top of each cake can show kick-boxers or wrestlers or such. (Why not?)
09. The Department of Defence has purchased 2,000 play stations.
10. Pigless pork has been created in a lab.
Bonus:
One should always make sure there is no DVD already in the player before you insert another one.
