What folks are Googlin' today

"justin bieber broken neck" - Justin Bieber broke his neck in a auto accident Tuesday morning, according to a "very reliable source at CNN."  Here's the problem -- NO HE DIDN'T.  Justin did not get into a car accident, did not break his neck, and there's no story to be found anywhere about it on CNN.com.  Oh, and he still doesn't have syphilis.  Still, it's the #1 Google search this morning.  


"laurie david" - Star magazine got the story rolling yesterday that Laurie David, ex-wife to Larry David, is having (or had) a 2-year affair with... ready for this?   Al Gore, soon to be ex-husband to Tipper.  Laurie produced Al's film, "An Inconvenient Truth."  According to the Daily Mail, friends of Al and Tipper say there was no-one else involved after the split was announced earlier this month.  Oh really!  Well, Al, then explain THIS picture! Gotcha!
 

"jake harris"- If you watched "Deadliest Catch" last night, you saw Captain Phil Harris discover that his son Jake has been stealing his pills.  "You're a thief and a liar," the captain tells his son, adding that he wants nothing more to do with him once they get back on shore.  Jake admits he's an addict and begged his dad for forgiveness.  Next week's "Deadliest Catch" features Captain Phil as he suffers a stroke.  He died shortly after.

While house hunting, what's the funniest thing you ever spotted in someone's house?
Hey, ya know the "singing fish" you have hanging in the bathroom?  That may be art to you, but it's probably a turn-off to people looking to buy your home.  I know, it's a hard reality, isn't it?  

ZipReality asked 1,000 house hunters to list their must-haves when shopping for a home, and here are the top 10:  

1. Garage or parking space: 86.8 percent.
2. Master suite: 78.9 percent.
3. Ample storage space: 72 percent.
4. Large or walk-in closets: 66.5 percent.
5. Guest bedroom: 66.4 percent.
6. Outdoor entertainment area: 64.3 percent.
7. Gourmet or updated kitchen: 60.6 percent.
8. Breakfast room or eat-in kitchen: 55.8 percent.
9. Large yard: 43.2 percent.
10. Wood floors: 40.8 percent.

The biggest deal-breakers are structural damage, bad odors, a busy street and an awkward floor plan.

FUN STUFF



GADGET OF THE DAY

It's wedding month, and here's another fun and CHEAP idea for your special day.  Put a single-use disposable camera on each table and let friends and family snap away.  It's great to look back to what they found fun and special.  Kodak has released a special camera for the occasion.  The Kodak Wedding Single Use Camera uses 800 speed film and features a manual flash.  There's a special $6/unit price, so grab 'em early.


GOTTA SEE THIS

Yes, it's cute.  It's a rabbit and puppy sharing a carrot.  You know you want to watch. 


You know the puppy is thinking, 'one day I'll be a big dog...guess what I won't be sharing?' 

DID YOU KNOW?

"Women are putting their feet at risk while pregnant by wearing unsuitable footwear such as high-heeled shoes, a group of leading chiropodists and podiatrists warned... Muscles and ligaments soften and stretch because of an increase in the ovarian hormone, relaxin, which makes your feet more prone to ankle and ligament strains on a daily basis."  


WHO SAID IT?

"I think all of us as women have this super-human quality. We create life, we give life, we are the sources of life for our children - we're all pretty bionic."
-Christina Aguilera


JOKE OF THE DAY

When his eyes began to give him trouble, a Czech man went to a Prague ophthalmologist. The doctor showed the patient the eye chart, displaying the letters CVKPNWXSCZ.

"Can you read that?" the doctor asked.

"Can I read it?" the Czech replied: "Hell, I dated his sister."

SURF THIS!

I have no idea if you will one day need this -- but here's for that ONE DAY.  RandomizeList.com does just what it says - takes a list, and randomizes it.  It takes any list you have and scrambles it.  You can never be blamed for favoritism again!  give it a try
