A woman in California just gave birth to 8 babies! I can’t even begin to imagine what their life is going to be like. It kind of makes the sextuplets look shabby. She is almost going to need an assemble line just to change their diapers.

I wonder if they have her in a bed or a farrowing pen?

As I was in the checkout at Meijers (regional grocery chain) I noticed that they were promoting their credit card. It seems if you sign up for their credit card, you will get a free rotisserie chicken!

For those of you who are not familiar with rotisserie chickens, they are chickens that are cooked daily on a special rotisserie and sold hot off the spit. And with any degree of luck, they will still be warm when you are ready to eat them.

We signed up for a Meijers card last summer but they didn’t offer us a free chicken. I guess we should have waited.

Regulators in California are considering banning flat screen TVs. Since flat screens use 30 to 60% more power than conventional TVs, there is concern that they my stress the already weak power grid. And with the advent of HDTV, consumers are opting for the flat screens rather than the converter box.

If the law goes into effect, the sales of flat screen TVs will boom in Nevada.

When we forget to do something, we say that it fell between the cracks. But shouldn’t we say that in fell into the cracks? After all, if it fell between the cracks then it did not fall into the cracks and therefore, should be laying beside the cracks.

I am a real deep thinker. 😉

I occasionally stop at Burger King and get a cup of decaf on my way to practice at church.  And, I usually order a small.

Well, last night, I decided to live life on the edge and order a medium.  But, what I didn’t realize is that our Burger King does not offer a LARGE cup of coffee.  Instead, they offer a small, a regular and a medium. So, while I thought I was getting a step up from the small, I was really getting their top of the line.

I guess I should have ordered an extra large small instead.

Have you ever thought about Hansel and Gretel, the children’s story? Hansel and Gretel’s father abandons them in the woods because their step mother says that she can no longer feed them. They are found by an evil witch who captures them and tries to fatten them up so she can eat them. They eventually push the witch into the oven and kill her. Then they return home to discover that their stepmother is dead.

It is a wonder we didn’t have more nightmares growing up.

Bar Keepers friend is not longer Kosher. The company was sold and while the formula is the same, they refuse to get certified as Kosher. So, they loose their Kosher rating.

This has left a lot of Kosher women unhappy as they no longer have a product that will easily clean their Alclad cookware. But, I guess if you are Kosher, you should be used to hardships.

An Australian writer has been sentenced to 3 years in prison in Thailand for making negative comments about the Thai royal family. And while he only had a couple of sentences in passing about the royal family in his fictitious novel, the government was not impressed. So, they arrested him four years after the novel was published.

And while he only sold 7 copies of his novel, apparently the books fell into the wrong hands. I wonder if his book sales will go up now?

Of course, I am probably now in eminent danger for even writing about the event.  Let freedom ring!

Ford will be showing off the new Shelby Cobra 500 GT at the Detroit Auto Show this year. This car is slated for release in 2010.

It features a 540 hp V8 and a custom interior. While the list price is unknown at this time, I don’t imagine it will be cheap.

Since the only V8s that Ford makes are for their trucks, they chose that instead of a much lighter block so the car is quite heavy.

I guess any one who can afford to buy a car like that can afford to put gas in it.

The Marlins are looking for new cheer leaders. But, instead of looking for good looking women with sex bodies, they are looking for fat men.

They reasoned that since their mascot is the manatee, they should have cheer leaders that resemble the animal. So, they want men with big bellies and large feet.

Some how, seeing a fat man in hot pants and halter top doesn’t do it for me.
