5/22

1. Did you see this photo of a soldier in Afghanistan who got woken up by gunfire, and he was so ready to help his comrades, that he rushed to his position in flip-flops and pink boxer shorts? Now, honestly, that is a dedicated soldier. But this reminds me of the time I did a USO trip to Afghanistan and got woken up by gunfire. [Show picture of @@@ superimposed in Afghanistan wearing leather S&M gear.]

2. A new study says that fathers-to-be gain about 14 pounds during the mothers’ pregnancy. And 25% of the men said they gained the weight to make their partners feel better about getting heavier. Yeah, right. “Oh honey, I’m eating this entire pizza for you.”

3. A court has now ruled that cigarette companies lied by claiming that some cigarettes were healthier than others. But the cigarette companies say that when they called some cigarettes “light”, they didn’t mean the cigarettes were healthier. They just didn’t weigh as much, so that people wouldn’t have to lug around those heavy packs all the time.

4. The movie “Terminator Salvation” opened last night. I don’t want to give away anything from the plot, but I hear that Christian Bale plays an ‘intense’ character. Also, the final battle is won because the factories building the Terminators goes bankrupt. They’re apparently just not fuel-efficient enough.

5. Did you hear about this three-year-old in New Zealand who bought a giant earth-digger from an online auction site? Even I can’t do that successfully.
