The News

So today I decided I’d take a break from my normal routine of reading blogs, looking at code and such like. Thought I’d read the news instead, find out what was happening around me, get my finger on the pulse of the nation as it were. Based on todays experience I have decided to make reading the news a weekly feature - it is definately more entertaining and enlightening the what the mainstream media has been handing out namely Kobe Bryant Janet Jackson and Martha Stewart.

 

Lunch-time breast lifts?
Women can get lunch-time injections of Botox and various facial fillers, and now researchers in Sweden may have found a way to boost a woman's breast size during the lunch hour as well. In the near future, Rohrich says, injections of hyaluronic acid, a compound used to fill fine lines and wrinkles, could be used to do temporary breast enhancement. Peering into his crystal ball, Rohrich forecasted what else may be on the distant horizon, including grow-your-own breast implants. “We may one day make our own implants from our own fat where surgeons harvest fat via liposuction and stimulate it to grow," Rohrich says, "so it will be natural but to grow that amount of fat and grow it consistently may be years and years away."

Yellow Snow Leads To Arrest

Elko police arrested Roger Gray, 25, on the basis of yellow snow he left after relieving himself on the rooftop of a restaurant that had been burglarized. Investigators said the evidence produced enough DNA to link Gray to the scene.

American Airlines Pilot Suggests Passengers Discuss Christianity on Flight

An American Airlines pilot asked Christians on his flight to identify themselves and suggested the non-Christians discuss the faith with them, the airline said. The case was handed over to the airline's personnel department for an investigation, spokesman Tim Wagner said Sunday. "It falls along the lines of a personal level of sharing that may not be appropriate for one of our employees to do while on the job," he said earlier.

May not be appropriate????? I'm not sure whether the pilots remarks or the spokesmens were more inappropriate

 

Winning at any cost

 Three livestock exhibitors at last year's Ohio State Fair have been disqualified for allegedly outfitting their Holstein cows with hairpieces. State Fair inspectors said the three glued or painted hair from another part of the animal or from another animal to create straighter backs on the cows and enhance their appearance in the show ring.

 

The Bride Wore Black Because the Groom Was Dead

NICE, France (Reuters) - A 35-year-old French woman has married her boyfriend 18 months after he was killed in a car accident.  Christel Demichel, who wore black, was married Tuesday under a little-used law in the presence of friends and relatives at city hall in the southern city of Nice, local officials said. It would have been her husband Eric's 30th birthday.  "Eric and I promised when he was alive that we would get married," she told French television. "Even though he is dead, I respect the values I shared with him, especially as his death was not his fault."

Christel - I don't think its normally a dead persons fault that he is dead.

 

It’s a dog’s world

ED FALLS, Ohio - Dogs in this Cleveland suburb have something to bark about. OLMST City Council unanimously approved a law Tuesday requiring doghouses to be waterproof and lined with bedding that resists dampness. The houses also must be equipped with self-closing doors or flaps.

Removed from the final law was a provision that required dog owners to bring their pets inside if the temperature dips below 20 degrees.

 

Men march demanding freedom to wear skirts

."We're not transvestites, homosexuals or cross-dressers," David Johnson told the New York Times for Sunday editions. "We don't want you to call us Jean or Sally. We're men - men who want the right to wear a skirt."

Football seats mark man's grave

Paul Wellener's family found the perfect marker for his grave: two blue plastic seats from the Three Rivers Stadium auction. Wellener, a lifelong football fan and a Pittsburgh Steelers season ticket holder for 42 years, died unexpectedly on March 16. Wellener's son, Paul, and widow, Mary Ann, bought three pairs of stadium seats for $2,100 at an auction — and knew they had found the perfect gravestone.

 

Man receives death notice from Pentagon

General Peter Schoomaker has a message for the bureaucrats at the Pentagon -- he's not dead.

His untimely passing was news to the Army chief of staff -- until his notice arrived at his home in Tampa, Florida. His demise was certainly a surprise to his wife. But there is a reasonable explanation. Schoomaker came out of retirement to take the top Army job. So when his name was dropped from the retired officers payroll, Pentagon accountants figured it was for the usual reason -- death.

This confirms what I have long suspected, no one in the army knows what anyone else in the army is doing

 

Intoxicated drivers take note: Don't ask your 10-year-old daughter to drive you home.
Angela Michelle Brown, 37, was charged Monday with child endangerment and driving under the influence of alcohol after authorities said she got drunk and used her 10-year-old daughter as a designated driver.
