ANSWER

IN SEARCH OF

What folks are Googlin' this morning

"discovery cove"- Kate Plus Eight premiered last night on TLC featuring a trip to Discovery Cove in Orlando.  The trip was part of a birthday celebration for the sextuplets.  Thanks to the show, Discovery Cove is now the #1 search on Google this morning...head here to get a taste of what they do.  



"ken jeong"- You remember Ken Jeong in The Hangover, right?  He was the guy that burst out of the car trunk naked --- yeah, that guy!  He won an MTV Movie Award for Best WTF Moment (aren't they hip and clever at MTV?), and his speech shocked the crowd.  We found out his wife was suffering from breast cancer during the filming of that movie, and he recounted how co-star Bradley Cooper and director Todd Phillips provided some much needed emotional support.  He told MTV that he needed to tell that story in front of millions and called the movie the "greatest moment that really changed my life." 



"sandra bullock" - As promised, Sandra Bullock appeared at the MTV Movie Awards to accept the "MTV Generation Award," and she asked the crowd to start making fun of her again:   "Can we please go back to normal because therapy is really expensive. Go back to making fun of me, I don't care, its time to get back to normal."  Oh, and she locked lips with Scarlett Johansson.  That 'thumping sound' was Jesse James passing out at home.  



BTW:  Sandra Bullock also appeared over the weekend at the Spike TV "Guys Choice Awards."  Video

Light 'em up!

Anything ever happened to you that came straight out of a horror movie? 
Patty Everett of Spicewood, Texas was minding her own business last week just trying to get through rush hour traffic when she noticed something moving to her right -- the head of a snake poking through her air conditioning vent.  The snake took a look around, then started making his way out of the vent and into the car.  Everett quickly pulled over, grabbed her grandbaby, and then sent her son to a vet clinic nearby.  The vet grabbed the snake and sent it to snake heaven.  Asked if she was scared when she saw the snake coming out of the vent,  Patty, in all her Texas sized class said, "Well, somebody crapped in my pants!" 



Worst place you ever got LOCKED IN?  (or, it would be a fantasy to be locked in (where)?)
A woman in Willis, Michigan, got trapped in a post office for four hours after trying to pick up her mail.  It happened afterhours on Thursday.  The office was closed but the post office box area was open.  After she went inside, she couldn't get out.  Four hours later another women spotted her and called 9-1-1.  (I blame e-mail.  Before e-mail, she would've only been in there several minutes!)
