stupid news

"Daredevil" David Blaine was supposed to end his feat of hanging upside down over Central Park for 60 hours with a "Death Dive." But... uh... he didn't. Leaving the audience a little confused.

Chester the Cheetah must have a higher calling than wearing cool sunglasses and stealing people's delicious cheesy Cheetos. Because for the second time, someone's found a Cheeto that resembles Jesus Christ.

The likeness is alarming. If Jesus died on the cross in a sleeping bag. 

A big round of applause for the two wonderful phone companies, Bell and Telus, who, starting in August, will be charging customers for INCOMING text messages.

That's right. For every text I receive, my carrier will be charging me 15 cents. That includes drunk texts from friends at bars. Multiple argument texts with the boyfriend. Wrong number texts from god-knows-who. And lately, spam texts from, probably China or something.

Gas... is up. My bank account is down. I may need to find a new mode of transport.

We've hit over $1.31 a litre and even though my car's not THAT bad on gas, I am suddenly paying over 50 dollars to fill a car that should take 30.

Searching the net, I found some fuel efficiency tips that I am going to try and use. But I'm not ruling out getting a scooter or something.

What. The. Shite. Is with the forecast.

A foot of snow? Are you yanking my chain here? What kinds of peverted weather prediction is that? Mother Nature is brutal.

Environment Canada's Bob Cormier is predicting 30-40 centimetres of snow to begin Saturday night through Monday morning. We already know that the highs will be in the minus temperatures.

Whether you think Earth Hour was pointless or not, it's obvious we humans use a lot of energy- so if we can't shut off our lights for an hour- we need help. Saturday night I was out in Martensville for the annual Sip n' Skip curling/shinny tourney put on by the fire department. To my surprise, at 8pm- the lights went out for Earth Hour.

I've been meaning to post this for a while. Another horse in the energy drink race- so funny!

Here's to my Irish brothers and sisters today: An bhfuil tú ar meisce fós? To everyone else- Enjoy 'yer green beer tonight! Why does green beer give such a brutal hangover? Anyway, here's possibly the best TV news story on leprechauns EVER. It comes straight outta Mobile, Alabama.

... if this guy doesn't get some help.

Sure, his running-through-the-street-naked and smoking-pot-at-red-carpet-events-type shenanigans may not seem THAT life-threatening... but how long can a person last being wasted all the time and battering up his own body? Exhibit A- this new video of Steve-O from Youtube, where's he's possibly the most messed-up looking I've ever seen him, and there's white powder on his nose. WARNING- video may not be appropriate for all viewers.

Here's the trailer for The Incredible Hulk, starring Ed Norton, coming out in June. I'm all for superhero movies, but... didn't they just make a Hulk movie a few years ago?
