Avengers Assemble!!




Chillin' out with an adult beverage on a Sunday morning, repentin' cause I SHOULD be in church.  Here's some things i saw on the ol NEWS list or observed this morning.

Freaking Sunday newspaper is now $2.50 each. This isn't really a surprise to many. It seems the coupons are the thing abotu the Sunday newspaper. Greenville's just following other cities' who realize this and are desperate to make money to keep print circulating.

Go see "The Avengers" Wow! The 3-D version really didn't add anything to the movie for me. It's funny, dramatic, and exciting for those who don't know anything abuot the characters or the storyline. There are TWO end credits special thingees.

Yogurt-eating mice have larger testicles and "mouse swagger" according to a study at MIT involving mice fed a diet of vanilla yogurt with probiotics. Click HERE .

According to a judge in Virginia, liking something on facebook is NOT protected by the 1st amendment. People really really really really take facebook WAY too seriously or think it's something that it's actually not. Click HERE for the rest of the story.

The trip of a lifetime to celebrate a Scottish woman's 60th birthday turned brutal when two supposedly tame cheetahs attacked the woman at a game reserve in South Africa.The couple had just taken photos with the animals and were still in the petting area when one of the cats grabbed an 8-year-old girl by the leg. Violet D'Mello tried to stop the attack. After the girl ran for safety, D'Mello said both cheetahs turned on her in a savage attack that lasted for more than three minutes.  Incredibly, Archie D'Mello kept taking pictures, documenting the horrific scene as the animals bit and scratched his wife's head, legs and stomach.

A California lottery winner sues son for commandeering winnings.. For the long convoluted story, click HERE This si so sad and so indicative of the problems winning or obtaining a huge sum of money can bring. Ahhh, to have THOSE problems...

The wife of an Army officer serving in Afghanistan witnessed her husband's death as the two video chatted via Skype. Click here for the sad story. This is just a sad story. I'm surprised it hasn't happened before or more often.

A former Kansas City woman who converted to Islam in 2005 said she was harassed for years at AT&T, and that the abuse boiled over in 2008 when her boss snatched her head scarf and exposed her hair. Go HERE. How stupid. I hoped this woman would get MORE.

A Colorado elementary school student was suspended from school this week for singing a lyric from a popular LMFAO song, "I'm sexy and I know it." Click HERE for the story. How stupid. The incident AND the song.

No deaths were reported, but five people were hospitalized by tainted Diamond Pet Foods dog food manufactured in Gaston, SC. At least 14 people in the United States have been sickened health officials said Friday. Check out the states and an up[date  HERE - I spend WAYYYY too much on food for my dogs. I buy them dry Iams and the refrigerated "Fresh Pet".
