Blond Moment

Question: Hi, my wife tried to use a credit card online by inserting it into the floppy port of our PC. I have tried to fish it out but looks like it will have to come apart to retrieve the card. Is that a easy task to do? Thanks

Everyone has a blond moment from time to time or lapses in judgement, but this one may be a prize winner. When I first read the question, posted on a computer help forum, I thought it was surely a joke. Could an adult person really be this, excuse me for saying, dumb?! The poster assured us the question to be reality and seriously was requesting an answer. Some of the comments were more comical than the question. One poster noted " You must use the correct pin number, others wise it won't work." And my personal favorite, "I hope she's at least hot." Ditto.

Cow Farts Collected in Plastic Tank for Global Warming Study

This is the real title of the article. I didn't make it up, honest. Apparently cows fart methane. And methane, which is also released from land fills and coal mines, is bad for the atmosphere. These heifers are possibly causing a global warming epidemic! They cause 30% of green house emissions. Who knew?! So scientists are collecting their fart emissions (seriously) and studying it to see if a change in diet would help. So the question is, Where's the beef?! (Sorry I couldn't resist)

R.I.P Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes

This is a sad note to report nothing unusual or funny about it. I was saddened to hear of the passing of Bernie Mac and the very next day Isaac Hayes. Two very talented men who will both be dearly missed. Bernie, born Bernard McCullough, died from pneumonia complications at the age of 50. Isaac Hayes was found unconscious in his home by his wife near a still-running treadmill. Hayes was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where he was pronounced dead. It's uncanny that they just worked in a movie together and died so closely together.

McDonald's robber among finalists for new jingle

I guess this one is more interesting than it is weird. This guy goes to jail for robbing a McDonald's. Okay, we all make mistakes. Sometimes even big, major ones. Then he gets out and tries to redeem himself. Not by doing charity work or good deeds. He enters a contest by making a jingle (obviously a pretty good jingle). Low and behold he is a finalist in this contest for the very same company that he robbed. At least he was honest and told them upfront his position. Because I'm sure he would have been found out later anyway. That would not have been good. Have we not learned anything from American Idol people?

New Mom Loses Entire Body of Blood

This lady definitely deserves the mother of the year award. Mothers love to lay on the guilt trip by announcing all the sacrifices they made. "I brought you into this world. I fed you, clothed you, changed your diapers." All true and very much appreciated, but it's peanuts compared to this. Can many moms say I gave all the blood in my body for you? Nope. I think not. This takes the cake. But the understatement of the year award goes to her doctor when he says, "Rebecca thought she was dying." I'm no doctor, but I think she pretty much was dying. She was losing all her blood.

Mother cuts off suspected defilers penis

The title of this one bothers me a bit. How is he considered suspected, if the mother caught him in the act? Legal reasons I guess. However, his lawyers are going to have a hard time trying to come up with a reason why his pants were down, giving the woman clear access to his manhood. Not only that, but why he was so distracted with his pants, that he never noticed a woman coming at him with a knife. It's a wonder he didn't bleed to death while sitting in the corner crying. And that poor dog that was beaten simply for finding himself a snack. I can imagine it wasn't good for much after that though.
