11.05.09: TODAY IS...
National Men Make Dinner Day... throwing what you picked up from the drive-thru in the oven doesn't count, bone-head. Tie on the chef's apron and get crazy!
CHAMPS AGAIN
The Yankees are the world champs, and there's a big parade to celebrate. The parade is set for tomorrow (Friday) morning at 11, and 3.5 million are expected to attend. The last ticket-tape parade in NYC was in Feb. of 2008 after the Giants won the Super Bowl.
OKEE THEN
What is sploshing and why is everybody searching for it this morning? Sploshing is a wet and messy fetish where people get together and spread food all over each other. This is apparently what does it for some folks. Sploshing was featured on an episode of CSI: NY last night, which is why everyone is talking about it.
HAPPY BDAY BIG BIRD!
Big Bird and his friends are turning 40, and Google is honoring them in a cool way. Yesterday it was Big Bird's 'bird legs," and today, it's... well check it out: http://www.google.com/
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! NOT REALLY...
Have you seen the trailer to the film "2012" yet? Oh man, it's really good... click here: http://tinyurl.com/mfkmc3
This movie is based off the current hype that the world will end, according to the Mayan calender in 2012. Before you wipe out your saving accounts, though, keep in mind that we've been through this doomsday march before. Here are at least five doomsday scenarios that didn't pan out;
Halley's Comet, 1910 - Thinking that comet tails included a deadly gas, someone spread the rumor that the Earth would pass through the tail of Haley's comet spreading widespread panic that we were all going to die. Update: We didn't.
Pat Robertson - 1982 - Robertson guaranteed to his "700 Club" TV audience that there would be a judgement on the world by the end of 1982. Update: There wasn't.
Heaven's Gate, 1997 - Rumors started that an alien spacecraft was following the comet Hale-Bopp in 1997. A UFO cult called Heaven's Gate saw this as a cue and 39 cult members committed suicide on March 26th, 1997. Update: No spacecraft
Nostradamus, 1999 - "The year 1999, seventh month / From the sky will come great king of terror." Update: It didn't.
Y2K, Jan 1st, 2000 - Would computers trigger doomsday? The problem is many computers wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 1900 dates and 2000 dates when the clock struck midnight. Many predicted catastrophic problems including blackouts and nuclear holocaust. Update: It didn't.
CLUNKER FOR GUZZLER
Lots of buzz this morning around a new Associated Press report that found -- surprise -- people that drive trucks, used the cash-for-clunkers opportunity to buy...other trucks! The program was supposed to get old cars off the road and replace them with more fuel efficient vehicles, but this report found that Ford F150 drivers bought another Ford F150. In fact, that exact purchase happened 82-hundred times. That's only a 1 to 3 mpg savings over the old clunker. Check out the full report here:

THIS GUY REALLY HATES HIS JOB
29-year old Aaron Siebers was stabbed in several parts of his body by 3 men dressed in black. Not really. The stabbing part is real, but he actually did it to himself to get out of working. Aaron reported the attack on Monday at the video store where he works in Edgewater, Colorado. Five police cars rushed to the scene. He faces charges of false reporting and obstructing a police officer.
