The eBaby

Posted in Blog, In The News
This story had me almost in tears: BERLIN (AP) -- German parents post baby on eBay for 1 euro Authorities in southern Germany said Saturday they have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one euro, the equivalent of $1.57. Peter Hieber, a spokesman for police in the Bavarian town of Krumbach, said the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region, although the child's 23-year-old mother insisted the ad was only a joke. Authorities have launched an investigation into possible child trafficking against the baby's mother and 24-year-old father, neither of whom was identified. "Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten ...

Bad Womb Eyes

Posted in Blog, In The News
If you thought the story about the man running into his wife at a brothel was a doozy, check out this one: LONDON (Reuters) - A couple discovered after they had married that they were twins who had been split up at birth and adopted by separate families, according to a member of Britain's House of Lords. (Full story) All I can say is I'm thankful I grew up with my fraternal twin brother. The rest of you may have fucked your twins and never knew it. :devil_tb:

Who Should Be More Upset?

Posted in Blog, In The News
I love stories like this: WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees. Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town. "I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper on Wednesday. The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported. (Source) Personally, I think the wife has greater reason to be angry because maybe if the husband wasn't blowing money on hookers she wouldn't have to blow men for money.

Dispelling Myths

Posted in Blog, In The News
I read an interesting article that as a caffeine swilling, turkey munching, low light reading, cell phone toting, leg shaver who uses a solid 11% of her brain, I thought I should share. (Reprinted from here): Revealed: The seven great "medical myths" By Peter Griffiths LONDON (Reuters) - Reading in dim light won't damage your eyes, you don't need eight glasses of water a day to stay healthy and shaving your legs won't make the hair grow back faster. These well-worn theories are among seven "medical myths" exposed in a paper published Friday in the British Medical Journal, which traditionally carries light-hearted features in its Christmas edition. Two U.S. researchers took seven common beliefs and searched the archives for evidence to support them. Despite frequent ...

Not Getting Burned

Posted in Blog, In The News, Memoirs
I just got word that a friend's house I'd adored when I stayed there this summer was spared in the San Diego fires. You wanna talk about close calls? That's his house on the left in this photo. All he suffered was some minor damage to the side like a melted screen door. Even the fish in his Koi pond that separated the houses survived. At the time I visited I thought a side yard was an odd place for a Koi pond but who knows? Maybe it helped in some way. While I can't fully fathom what it's like to suffer the kind of loss his neighbor did, I can sort ...

Is It…Tax Evasion?

Good ol' Corey Clark- he of the Paula Abdul cougar love- is back in the news. I love it when you can just look at someone's mugshot and know exactly what he was busted for. If the D.A. can't get a conviction on this one, it's time to hang up his legal briefs.

Harry Fodder

Posted in Blog, In The News
I don't think anybody's as thrilled that the newest Harry Potter book is on sale as I am. I've never read any of the books and only saw the first film (which sucked) but I'm thrilled because I am sick to death of hearing about this. The mania and security surrounding the release are absolutely insane. I can't criticize the fact that children are so excited about a book. That's a good thing. And I get that young kids want to be the first to read it. They think that 20 years down the line they'll tell their kids about it and ...

Frozen Dinner Party

Posted in Blog, In The News
This is one of those morbid stories that's just so funny to me: A Belgian man appeared in court on Friday after a woman at his dinner party found the bodies of his wife and stepson in the freezer as she put away the leftovers, prosecutors said. (more) I love that the guy allegedly killed his family, yet he's still in the mood for entertaining. I think even Martha Stewart would suggest taking the season off. Not only that, he's enlisting the help of the guests to clean up! "Where should I put the leftover meatloaf?" "In the freezer, next to my wife's foot." Or is it possible that it simply slipped his mind that the bodies were in there? At the very least, ...

Paris Is Still In Jail (Updates Hourly)

I spoke to my sister last night and she asked why I haven't written about the Paris Hilton fiasco. The fact is, I've tried. I started to write about her going into jail, then I went to get a glass of water and when I came back she was out. So then I started a post about her being out of jail, then I sneezed and she was back in. It's all happening too fast for a Parisite like myself to keep up. So I finally got smart and signed up for Paris' PMS (Private Messaging System). Now, I get instant updates text messaged to my cell phone about everything ...
