9/13

1. A new study says that the scent of lavender can make people less nervous at the dentist. Yeah, unless lavender was your ex-girlfriend’s perfume. “Is that Michelle under that mask? Did she put you up to using that hook?” Although, maybe lavender will make them less stressed at the dentist, because it will remind them that there are worse places they could be.

2. More men are getting anorexia, and a big problem is that they’re embarrassed about having a ’women’s disease’. So the BBC is having a documentary called (true): “Revealed… Manorexia”. Yeah, that’s going to make men more comfortable. What’s next? Bro-limia?

3. The Pope held a huge mass in Paris yesterday. This is the first time that he has been to France since becoming Pope. He’s been to Australia, but not to France, which right across the border. That sounds like some friends of mine in New York who will go to Thailand before going to Brooklyn.

4. In Britain, a woman who stole more than a million dollars through tax fraud, tried to claim that she did it because she was under a voodoo curse. Now, at what point does this seem like a valid defense? You’re sitting there with your lawyer and you say, “Well, what about voodoo?” Yeah, the jury will go for that.

5. The Italian airline Alitalia may have to cancel some flights because it’s running out of fuel. They could use power from the hot air in the prime minister’s speeches.
