6/19

1. The head of Apple, Steve Jobs, apparently had a liver transplant a few months ago. I guess it was hard to find a liver that was compatible with the Apple chief’s body. Isn’t that poetic justice?

2. Pizza Hut is going to change its name to appeal more to young people. From now on, it will be known as ‘Pizza Barn’. No, they will now be known simply as (true) ‘The Hut’. Yes, because nothing says Italian food like… huts. In addition, the company says (again, true) that the restaurants will now feature -- television sets. “Yes, these young people seem to be into tell-a-vision. We should look into that.” The company says the televisions will broadcast shows like “Wheel of Fortune” and “Entertainment Tonight”. Because that’s what the kids are watching. Look, it’s not that hard to appeal to young people. Just promote your strengths: you feature some of the most artery-clogging food in the world. That will be more than enough to grab the youth market.

3. A plane carrying Arnold Schwarzenegger had to make an emergency landing because of smoke in the cockpit. It turned out to be a false alarm, though, because the smoke was just from his cigar.

4. A new study says that green tea can help slow the growth of prostate cancer, because green tea drinkers aren’t getting laid very much.

5. Have you seen this YouTube video with a guy swallowing an entire microphone? Well, I have one word for that guy -- amateur! I can swallow the whole stand. You have to pay to see that site, though.
