5/24

1. A new study says when elderly people can’t remember new names, it’s not because their brains are getting worse -- they’re just getting better at filtering out the boring people. This helps explain why my parents keep forgetting my name.

2. On Sunday, a Canadian skydiver will set a new record by falling from almost 25 miles high. It will be the longest and fastest free fall since the reputation of Bill Clinton.

3. A nudist air flight in Germany has been cancelled after too many complaints. Not from the media, but from the crew. Have you been to Germany recently?

4. In Germany, police arrested some parents who offered their baby for sale on e-Bay. Now this was obviously a joke, but the police are now investigating the couple for child abuse. Man, if we had German police in the States, they’d be arresting half of Hollywood.

5. The Russian Communist Party wants to ban the new Indiana Jones movie, because they say: “In 1957, the Communists did not run with crystal skulls throughout the U.S.” Do they realize this is also a movie where 60-year-old Harrison Ford leaps from ledge to ledge like Spider-Man? And as any student of modern history knows, in the 1950s, the Communists were running around America with Hitler’s preserved brain.
