IN SEARCH OF
What folks are Googlin' this morning
"lindsay lohan ankle bracelet"- The #1 search this morning is for information behind Lindsay Lohan's new piece of jewelry, her court-ordered ankle bracelet. The device she'll be wearing works much like a breathalyzer, except it detects alcohol consumption by taking samples of perspiration on the skin. Samples are gathered every half hour and then sent over phone lines to a probation officer once a day. The bracelets, called SCRAM for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring, are used in every state except Hawaii and cost $15-hundred a piece. Many parents have been wondering if this is something they can buy for their teens, and the answer is no. The Denver-based company that manufactures the bracelets are only focusing on the corrections market -- for now.
"up to the mountain" - Well if you can pick an American Idol winner through Google searches, you'd have to give it to Crystal Bowersox. Everyone wants to see her performance of "Up to the Mountain" one more time. A performance that Randy Jackson called "one of the greatest songs and your greatest moments. That was incredible.” Simon: “I thought that was by far the best performance and the song of the night. Since this is the final critique I’m going to give I’d like to say that was outstanding.” Watch it here
BTW: As of 4:06am, DialIdol.com predicts the winner of American Idol will be Lee Dewyze.
"who won dancing with the stars"- Is it really a surprise who walked away with the mirror-ball trophy last night? Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and her partner Derek Hough are "Dancing With the Stars" champions. Nicole's high-energy jive as her final performance earned a perfect score of 30, beating Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek's performance by 2 points. Erin Andrews came in third.

Light 'em up!
What have you quickly learned about that new cell phone # you were given?
Three users of the same mobile phone number passed from one person to the next in the U.K. have something in common -- they all died. The number, 0888-888-8888, has now been suspended and won't be used by another victim, I mean, person. The first user, a former CEO of mobile phone company, died of cancer in 2001 at the age of 48. The number then passed to a Bulgarian mafia boss who was gunned down in 2003. The number then went to a "crooked businessman," who was gunned down outside an Indian restaurant. Imagine being the next one to get that number -- the wrong number might mean a pair of cement shoes!
How did you barely escape death by doing nothing?
A sonar buoy from a Navy Plane that had just taken off in Florida dropped 500 feet, crashed through the roof of a home and landed right next to the bed of a teenager. No injuries were reported. The Navy plans to pay for the repairs -- including a roof, lamps and new underwear!

JOKE OF THE DAY
A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally she spoke up: "Grandpa, did God make you?"
"Yes, sweetheart," he answered: "God made me a long time ago."
"Oh," she paused: "Grandpa, did God make me too?"
"Yes, indeed, honey," he said: "God made you just a little while ago."
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed: "God's getting better at it, isn't he?
