This is the hottest t-shirt of the season. I kid you not. Apparently it's being ripped off racks all over the country faster than they can produce them. For those of you interested, the snowman image was popularized by drug-dealer-turned-rapper Young Jeezy and symbolizes "snow" aka cocaine.
Ostriches going on three-hour rampages are CNN worthy stories. Or at least when they damage a Mercedes in the process they are. Must be a slow news day in Cyprus.Alabama's Governor is calling for a boycott of Aruba. As a brilliant man from Curacao put it today (on a conference call) "Don't those crazy redneck bible-belt southerners having anything better to do?" Aruban officials have be more than cooperative with Natalee Holloway's family and other investigators. Even Natalee's dad backs them up and is doing his best to counteract his crazy wife's accusation and calls for boycotts. The facts are that their daughter was an 18-year-old not-very-street-smart blond who went the kind of bar where you go to get drunk and hookup with people, did hookup with a strange Dutch boy, and got dropped off on a beach when they were done with her drunk ass. The more than likely truth is that she is no longer in Aruba. Let us remember that Venezula is 19 miles away. And Aruba is not a very big island. And they have searched and searched and searched. Oh yeah, and last year 7 girls went missing in the Caymans and have yet to be found. Who's boycotting the Caymans??? The reason this is a story (okay, a reason...not the reason) is that this never happens in Aruba. And it's really hard to do so considering how many damn cameras are on that island.
British American Tobacco is launching a "safer" cigarette, designed to cut the risk of smoking-related diseases such as cancer and heart failure by up to 90%. The secret? The cigarettes apparently use tobacco treated to produce lower levels of cancer-causing chemicals. They also incorporate a new type of filter said to remove more of the remaining toxins.
Guy plans on trading one red paper clip for a house. Through successive trades.
And considering how much press he's getting for this site, he might just do it. Very cool.
The Australian interviews Singapore's executioner. And this is what he looks like.He's executed more than 850 condemned prisoners during his 46 years in the job. He gets bonuses for each execution. He is credited with being the only executioner in the world to single-handedly hang 18 men in one day -- three at a time. He carries out the executions wearing simple casual clothes, often just a T-shirt, shorts, sports shoes and knee-length socks. Read the whole story. It gets weirder.
