BEST OF THE WEEK

A man who used to be a woman has announced that he’s pregnant. This might be the first time someone’s had pregnancy cravings for pork rinds. The couple’s doctor said: “This is what I consider a normal pregnancy.” Really? What would you consider an abnormal pregnancy? A washing machine?

A man who registered the internet address ‘pizza.com’ in 1994 has sold it for $2.6 million. You know, I did the same thing back then, but I’m still waiting for offers on VCR.com and 24hourojsimpson.com. They really seemed like winners in the 90s.

A restaurant in Germany has replaced waiters with robots on tracks. However, this being Germany, many diners were unaware that the waiters had been replaced.

The Prime Minister of Britain, Gordon Brown, has been criticized for receiving the Olympic torch at his home, though he emphasized that he didn’t hold it. Yeah, that’s the argument my girlfriend used when I caught her with her ex.

Senator Jay Rockefeller said yesterday that John McCain doesn’t understand the lives of ordinary people, which is interesting coming from a guy with the last name ‘Rockefeller’.

The Pulitzer prizes for journalism were given out yesterday. These are always odd, because it’s like: “Yay! We won a big prize for describing that… horrible massacre. Um, cheers?”

There were reports that Jay-Z and Beyonce got married on Friday. The reports breathlessly stated that men in tuxedos were spotted on the roof of the building, though it was later discovered that they were just Secret Service guarding President Bush. Yawn! He is so 2006.

Oil prices rose yet again after employment figures were lower than expected. Apparently not as many people are working, because they can‘t afford to drive there.

Did you know the Olympics has a contact sport this year? Here's some footage of it below. It was Tibet’s first gold medal.
