And so many people thought Bush did some embarassing things

Okay, so most people have already heard about this, but I had to put in my two cents.

Japanese Finance Prime Minister Shoichi Nakagawa resigned after appearing drunk at the G7 conference.

Couldn't he have just waited to drink 'til after the conference?



Seriously, this is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. This tops all those Bushisms from choking on a pretzel and falling to the floor to all the dumb things he said.

I can't say any more...I may say some libelous and/or mean things. I'm done.

Don't know what to say

Very rarely does anything good ever come from a car crash, but the lady with the longest fingernails in the world had her nails broken in a car accident on Tuesday.

For those who don't realize it, fingernails are gross. Hookworm, bacteria, and other nasties live under those things. Ick.

So, I think its good for the general population's health that those giant nails broke. I just hope she doesn't grow them out again....ew.

Seriously, I can't decide which criminal is more stupid

The last criminal I posted about was stupid, but I think this is even worse.

A suspected arsonist was caught. She was video taped on a surveillance camera in a gas stationg singing, "The fire department is going to be mad at me." She is accused of setting off 7 fires.

Seriously. Some people just are not very smart. I group her with the guy that ran out of gas after robbing a gas station. If you are going to rob a gas station, get gas too if you're low. If you are going to set fires, don't sing about doing it in public.

This definitely qualifies as one of the dumbest things ever

I really love the headline for this story Man runs out of gas after robbing gas station.

Evidently, after robbing the gas station at knife-point, the man ran out of gas just up the road.

I can't even comment on how stupid that is; the story says it all.

Delivering more than milk

There has been very little weird news lately, but:

In the UK, a milk man was delivering marijuana along with bottles of milk.

What I find strangest about this story is: people still have milk delivered?!?! Evidently, the practice hasn't died in the UK.

Giving the finger could get you a felony charge...

In a New Hampshire town, a man was charged with a felony for showing his middle finger. Granted, he was violating a protective order by making the gesture at the person who filed it. The courts expect to dismiss the case but still...

Should he even be charged? I mean, I wouldn't like it if someone gave me the finger, but technically isn't it their first amendment right? And as long as it was from a distance did it violate the protective order? Maybe I should research the law on that one....

The Naming of Cows

Sorry for the random T.S. Eliot reference, but I thought it fit.

Anyway, scientific research has discovered that naming cows actually improves milk production, which I find hilarious since I grew up on a farm. Most of our cows did not have names; there were too many.

We only had two cows that were named. Our best milk cow was affectionately named Dolly P. due to the size of her udders. Her baby, who was born on Halloween, was named Pumpkin. I will say that Dolly P. produced a ton of milk. So, maybe naming helps.

Either way, the article mentions that better treatment of cattle helps them produce more milk, which I think is the real reason the cows in the study produced so much more. Also, it makes more sense that if a farmer names an animal and humanizes it that they will treat it better. So, I really think that naming a cow makes very little difference, to the cow at least. I thought the article was cute though.
