Iraq vs. Detroit - The Showdown
Parts of Iraq are no more dangerous than Detroit says Congressman.
Well that's comforting, I'm sure whether to feel good for Iraq or bad for Detroit.
During an interview Monday with WILS-AM, Rep. Tim Walberg said the returning troops he has talked with "indicate to me that 80 to 85 percent, in a conservative fashion, of the country is reasonably under control, at least as well as Detroit or Chicago or any of our other big cities. That's an encouraging sign."
Well that's comforting, I'm sure whether to feel good for Iraq or bad for Detroit.
Hawaiian Pizza Head
Man with Ham and Pineapple Pizza Tattooed on his HEAD. That looks pretty good, almost as good as Cat Man. Yes that guy is real.
The tattoo took three hours to complete and features three types of ham, chunks of pineapple and long strands of cheese dripping down Mr Helsby's neck.
He said: "I'm really pleased with it, and I'll keep my head shaved at the back for a few weeks to show it off."

Valet Madness
Valet drives amputees car into amputee. He accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake? It must have been tough to figure out the part where the brake isn't the gas. Stupid.
Musical Genius
Listening to music makes you smart
Scientists have uncovered the first concrete evidence that playing music can significantly enhance the brain and sharpen hearing for all kinds of sounds, including speech.
"Experience with music appears to help with many other things in life, potentially transferring to activities like reading or picking up nuances in tones of voices or hearing sounds in a noisy classroom better," researcher Nina Kraus, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University, told LiveScience.
Scout Makes Beef Jerky
Missing Boy Scout found
If you ever get lost in the woods: bring Pringles, a mess kit, hunker down in a warm place, and make Dad think you are making beef jerky somewhere.
“Nothing was going on. He was in good spirits,” Auberry said. “He ate lunch, chatting with the boys. He was walking around with I think some Pringles and a mess kit. The next moment, sounds like a blink of the eye, he was gone.”
“They do a great job in the scouts of educating the kids of what to beware of and tips. I’m hopeful that Michael has taken those to heart,” he said. “I hope he’s hunkered down. I hope he’s found a warm place.”
“I think he’s got some of that book in his mind,” Auberry said. “In my fantasy, when they find him, he’ll be making beef jerky somewhere or something like that. He’s got a lot of resources to draw from.”
If you ever get lost in the woods: bring Pringles, a mess kit, hunker down in a warm place, and make Dad think you are making beef jerky somewhere.

Enron Humor
Kenneth Lay's Children Inherit 4,000 Pensions. Funny and probably well-deserved.
"Dad would take us down to the Enron office, and he would show us all the happy, hardworking people there," Mark Lay said. "He would tell us, 'Kids, one day, everything these people have will be yours.'"
"One year, [Lay's stepson] Beau made the Dean's List, and Dad was so proud, he gave him someone's liquidated health care plan," Mark Lay said. "And another time, out of the blue, he came home with 340 dental packages in his arms. He gave them out like candy. Even the dog got one. He was such a thoughtful, kind man."
Fake Name Gets Man Jailed
Man gets pulled over and taken to jail for a suspended license. The passenger in the car agrees to drive the car but gives police a fake name. The fake name was for a wanted felon, so they take the passenger to jail also. The passenger ended up getting off with giving a false statement to police.
