In the news...

Almost every day I peruse the headlines in the news and look at the silliness that pops up on Yahoo and the MSN home page. Mostly, you can figure out what's going on in the world by reading the headlines. Sometimes, the headline is good enough  to make you want to read the article. It's so funny what's considered news. Anyway, I didn't read the articles attached to most of these, but they were some of the wackiest I saw;

* Butt dials account for 38% of 911 calls.

* Discovered Mayan calendar goes way past 2012.

* Hip, or About to Break a Hip?
Is a 45 year-old pursuing a dangerous sport like skateboarding embarrassing and risky or inspiring and life-affirming?

* Mom has unlawful sex, baby with daughter’s boyfriend, 16.

* NJ test asks 3rd graders to reveal a secret
Some New Jersey parents are upset about a standardized test question that asked third-graders to reveal a secret and write about why it was hard to keep.

* Phoenix-area man hits $1 million jackpot six times.

* Bloomington cops shoot naked gunman near IU campus.

* Tattoos are part of a growing pet grooming industry where a standard cut, wash and nail trim no longer will do. Groomers routinely offer teeth cleaning, mouthwash and spa treatments complete with blueberry facials and pedicures as services – part of an estimated $58.2 million that Americans will spend on their pets this year

* Chris Brown's new gig: Pit bull salesman
 * Kardashians stick with 'reality'

* Guy shoots girlfriend on hog-hunting date.

* Woman donates kidney to boss, gets fired.

* Six-year old arrested for assault on principal

* Canine Custody Battle Costs Man $60,000

And the funniest thing I read today is in regard to Howard Stern taking over as a judge on some show called America's Got Talent;
The night's biggest insult was leveled not by Stern but one of the rejects. When Stern told the guitarist who butchered "Proud Mary", "I’ve been in radio 35 years and you're too weird for my show,” the guitarist shot back: “That might hurt my feelings if I respected your opinion.”

I don't feel a need to comment on any of these because you can probably make up your own funny stories about them :-)
