First it was the basketball players.   Then a few baseball players followed suit.   Now even the bulls are charging into the stands to attack spectators!   I'm not sure what will be done about this but, quite obviously, the case should be investigated thoroughly and if the bull had no mitigating factors, he should be removed from further competition for at least the remainder of the season.   Of course the bull would probably like that.

Sorry, no picture with this one.

It turns out that size does matter, at least to some species.   Males of animal species in which females are more promiscuous tend to have larger testicles.   They also tend to have smaller brains.   Scientists postulate that this is because in order to pass on your genes, when you are competing with your female's many other love interests, you must have more sperm than your competitors.   In "successful" members of such species, more energy goes into making bigger testicles and less goes into brain development.

A St. Louis tavern owner who also happens to be an alderman is seeking to have penalties for public urination lowered before the upcoming Mardi Gras Parade.   In particular, he wants very low penalties for people who, like our friend to the left, try to be discreet about it.   He says, "there's a difference between going in the middle of the street, in front of God and country, and somebody who is behind a Dumpster."   Apparently many local residents disagree with the alderman saying that the practice is offensive.   They turn on their irrigation systems to discourage parade pee-ers.   Says one, "That's what portable toilets are for.   We don't appreciate going out and seeing it."   Personally, I think porta-potties smell pretty offensive too.

The New York Daily News reports a patient man received his due.   His car was stolen some time ago and recently it was returned to him.   The car, a blue Corvette, was found during a homeland security department review of cars set to be exported.   The car had some modifications made to it since its theft.   It is painted silver, has a red interior, new transmission and engine, but has no gas tank and doesn't run.   But heck, it is being returned to the original owner.   Oh, the car was stolen Jan. 22, 1969, almost 36 years ago!

An 11 year old Michigan City, Indiana boy was said to be suffering with a headache for days after a little minor accident.   According to the Associated Press, Cameron Schuette said Tuesday he did not remember much about the accident, other than the sound.   The sound he described was one of the bones in his skull breaking.   There's a good reason he heard that sound, his grandfather had just run over his head with a pickup truck.

The boy was riding on the tailgate of his grandfather's pickup truck as it backed down the driveway.   At first the grandfather thought he'd run over a piece of wood but then he got out of the truck and saw his grandson lying in the gravel.   A visit to a couple hospitals revealed the boy had a slight skull fracture and a laceration on his ear canal.   He's now taking tylenol for the headache and is apparently no worse for the wear.   The grandfather concluded, "Maybe he has an exceptionally hard head."

Somebody in that family has a head made of wood but I'm not sure who.

Two burglars made off with a woman's purse, after one of the burglars impersonated a dog.

They broke into the house of an elderly woman. One burglar then dropped to his knees and began barking. The elderly woman, shocked at the scene, remained mesmerized while the other burglar found her purse.

The two burglars then fled the scene.

In DeKalb County, Georgia, a county health inspector found a frozen guinea pig tucked in a freezer at La Sabrosa restaurant, 2857 Buford Highway. According to the inspector's report, the chef said the guinea pig was for his personal consumption, but he could not remember where he bought it or produce a receipt.

The restaurant scored an 87 on the December inspection, up from its previous 79.

Janice Buchanon, the director of DeKalb's food protection program, said later that the restaurant owner had to throw out the guinea pig.

Today's lesson is always listen to your children - the lesson you learn just may make you a significant chunk of change.   A Japanese dude wanted to put something up for auction so he brought in two other dudes from the upper crustic auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's.   But how to choose between the two?   He told the two dudes to play "rock, paper scissors" and the winner could have the sale as well as the more than $2 million commission.   The dude from Christie's had listened when his 11-year-old daughter said, "Everybody knows you always start with Scissors."   The dude from Sotheby's apparently hadn't learned that lesson and chose paper.   Scissors cuts paper.   Christie's got the auction!

Don't visit the second floor - you may end up alongside the New Jersey Turnpike.

Prospective buyers of an office building in Indiana discovered a sealed off floor which had become a time capsule of sorts which included "a stack of canceled checks, all dated between June and December 1930."   The "secret" second floor had three doors with frosted glass panels and overhead transoms labeled: "Receptionist - Come In," "Consultation Room. Private," and "Chemical Laboratory."

The couple plan to live on the newly rediscovered floor but my advice is don't do it!

Can you say John Malkovich?

Maybe I'm wrong about this but for some reason I thought Communism was about the whole community, even country, coming before the individual.   I thought you made the individual sort of generic-part-of-the-whole kind of entity.   But that's apparently not the case.   The largest Communist force in the Universe is China and they recently acknowledged 3,000 individual "model workers."   These folks who embody the Communist ideals represent "workers, farmers and other working people from all social strata all have made lofty contributions in pushing forward social advancement."   But Yao earns fifteen million dollars a year as an employee of one of the most conspicuously capitalistic (not to mentionAmerican) endeavors on Earth, the National Basketball Association.   I guess maybe there really are Communists everywhere.

Yao, however, didn't show up for the award ceremony.   Prima Donna!
