A band is now claiming that Led Zeppelin stole the opening rift for Stairway To Heaven from them. I guess after 40 years the band decided that it was time to say something about the theft.

Caution, Coals May Be Hot!!
Thirty people recently got their feet burned while walking on hot coals. Walking on the coals was a part of a confidence building seminar. I wonder if they got their money back?
Media Bomb Making.
A teenager lost his leg and sustained other injuries after a homemade fireworks bomb exploded. And, in an effort to prevent others from making such bombs, the media gave a brief description of the technique. Unfortunately, the media enlightened the public and me about the existence of these bombs. And so, a quick search on line yielded a “how to” video. And I suspect that there are now some enlightened folks that will have to give it a try.
We All Looked Alike 45 Years Ago.
I attended my wife s 45 year class reunion. And as with most reunions, they had their old class pictures posted. And as I looked at the pictures, many of them looked like my old high school classmates. I guess back then, we all looked the same.
Religious Discrimination.
A gun store owner refused to sell ammunition to a Muslim because he acted suspiciously. The Muslim then killed 49 people in a Miami night club. I suspect that the gun store owner will be charged with religious discrimination.
Five Years To Life.
A 94 year old war criminal has been sentenced to 5 years of prison. He was accused of being a Nazi prison guard. If he survives, he will be 99 years old. I suspect that he won’t even make it through the first year.
Vomitorium Replacement?
There is a new surgical procedure to help you loose weight. A valve is installed in your stomach which allows you to drain off a certain amount of meal. Thus allowing you to eat without gaining weight. But, is it better than sticking a feather down your throat?
No Moose Is Good Moose.
Many years ago, Newfoundland did not have any moose. So, they decided to import some. Now, they have too many. I guess you need to be careful in what you ask for.
Long Obituaries.
One person recently had an obituary in the paper that was three columns long. While the deceased may have led an exemplary life, most people are not going to read an obituary that is three columns long.
New Credit Cards With A Chip.
I received my new credit card and it now has a chip in it. I guess it is suppose to be more secure but it certainly is a lot slower to use. It used to be that I could just swipe my card and be on my way. But now, I have to wait for almost a minute for it to process. I guess this is progress but it certainly is a pain.
