What folks are Googlin' this morning
"nba draft" - Most of the top 20 Google searches this morning were for individual players in last night's NBA draft, so I thought I'd be generic with this one and say the Washington Wizards got the top pick of the night, John Wall, a point-guard from Kentucky. The Wizards are hoping he can be the new face of a horrible team.
Beyond draft picks, the only two searches that stood out this morning are "Justin Bieber Hermaphrodite" and "UFO Contact July 4th." Both of which disturb me deeply. I'm heading underground.

What is the strangest thing you've ever had for dinner?
A restaurant in Phoenix is catching some heat for a dish they're serving in honor of the World Cup -- Lion. The owner says he's received a bomb threat and 250 emails from animal rights activists after he put lion burger on the menu in honor of the soccer tournament in Africa.
The burger, served with spicy chips and roast corn on the cob, costs $21. The owner says he's soothed some concern after explaining to the protesters that the meat comes from a lion farm in Illinois, and not from the African outback.
Would you eat lion? Did you even know there were "lion farms"?

Speaking of odd dishes... check out the first line to this story: "A French convict who killed his cellmate and ate his lung was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Thursday."

WHO SAID IT
“Michael was murdered for his catalogue – that’s the bottom line. He was murdered for his catalogue and they knew that, and they knew Michael was much more, worth so much more dead than alive. His children deserve the truth. I think his parents deserve the truth, his family and his fans. Personally I think it is a slap in the face, not just to Michael but to the entire family. It’s totally unfair, it’s wrong and it was not an accident.”
-Latoya Jackson to England's GMTV on Thursday
JOKE OF THE DAY
Two explorers, camped in the heart of the African jungle, were discussing their expedition. “I came here,” said one, “because the urge to travel was in my blood. City life bored me, and the smell of exhaust fumes on the highways made me sick. I wanted to see the sunrise over new horizons and hear the flutter of birds that never had been seen by man. I wanted to leave my footprints on sand unmarked before I came. In short, I wanted to see nature in the raw. What about you?”
“I came,” the second man replied, “because my son was taking saxophone lessons.”
