Gotta See This
Stressful day yesterday for Weird Al Yankovic. Al wrote a parody of Lady Gaga's hit "Born This Way," which was going to be the first release from his new album. But according to Al, Lady Gaga refused to give him permission to use the song. So, Yankovic released it anyway, free on the Internet. Here it is:
Watch
That's not where the story ends, though. It turns out Gaga never actually heard the cut, and she's a huge Weird Al fan. After listening to the remake yesterday, she gave it the Gaga stamp of approval and Al will include it on his new album.
Proceeds from the song and video will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign. source

Joke of the Day
An Illinois man left Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email.
Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her email address, he did his best to type it in from memory.
Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her email, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor dead.
At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
Dearest Wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Your Loving Husband.
P.S. Sure is hot down here.

9 reasons granny panties rock
#1 - You'll get a smooth line. Funny, though, not one of the 9 say "you'll look hot wearing ONLY granny panties."
Fascinating facts about the nasty side of the Internet!
A study found that women, for example, will look at Internet porn, but won't pay for it.
American Idol's Kara DioGuardi date-raped by music producer. Is sexual misconduct an industry epidemic?
She talks about it in her new memoir, "One Helluva High Note." "She repeatedly told him to stop, but didn't try to fight him because she was too scared he'd become violent,” reports EOnline. “She never told anyone about the horrific incident because she feared he would ruin her career."
We can't remember things because our minds are clogged with useless information!
Scientists say we need to declutter our mind. How?
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Take up mediation or yoga to calm the mind
- Learn a language or musical instrument to keep the mind young
- Do crossword puzzles to keep the brain active
- Exercise for a healthy mind as well as a healthy body
- Socialize to keep the mind sharp
