There’s been too much heavy stuff going on, so I went looking for those headlines that make you grin, then shake your head.
Sperm Have Sense of Smell: (Discovery.com) The Indiana University at Bloomington has proven that the Mister Wigglies know which way to the egg. Sperm can smell the tiniest zillionth of a part per gazillion of hormone that means “Egg This Way, now swim!”
But what about a head cold? If what happens to the full-size human is indicative, then you’ll find sperm crashed out on the sofa, running down the batteries on the remote as they watch seven channels of bad afternoon TV, eating a jumbo size bag of Cheezies, then sleeping for six hours.
Darryl Hannah Kicked Out Of Tree by Cops: (From MSNBC.com) I know her career is in the dumper. She’s fallen below the D-List of Danny Bonnaduce and Wink Martindale, but living in a tree? On closer examination, it would seem she was protesting the razing of a park to build a warehouse in La-La-Land and had been camping in a tree to prevent it being cut down. For a moment there I thought we had a really good celeb scandal brewing.
Coffee protects against Cirrhosis: (newscientist.com) If you drink four cups of coffee a day, you have reduced your chance of getting alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver by 80 percent. That’s Eighty percent better than someone who only drinks gin. Unfortunately the researchers at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Oakland, California, didn’t tell us what would happen if you drank rum in your coffee. Would everything just cancel out?
Nova Scotia Conservatives Win Minority: (ctv.ca) Most Canadians didn’t even know there was an election scheduled in Nova Scotia. For the US readers, Nova Scotia is that sort of bow-tie shaped thing on the map, up beyond Boston. It’s a part of Canada, a whole province, actually.
Nova Scotia has been missing for two years and was seen frequently on the side of milk cartons, public service billboards and the back of utility bills. (Have you seen this province? Call 1-800-Fed Govt now!)
Judging by the photo of Rodney MacDonald, the good citizens have elected an 11-year old as Premier. His platform consisted of raising the minimum allowance to $5.00 a week and not having fish in the school cafeteria on Fridays.
Some days it just pays to read.
