friday fun

come on... i KNOW you want more!

hot or not?

i'm trying to decide if i find eva mendes attractive... not just here in this picture but in general...
sure, she's definitely got a smokin' body (no denying that) but there's just something about her face that puts me off... kinda man-ish, ya know? and i know she's cuban and everything but her skin looks sort dirty rather than deliciously sun-kissed...
what do you think?

the rich and the richer...

forbes magazine has come out with their list of top wealthy television celebrities...
1. oprah winfrey - $260 million
2. jerry seinfeld - $60 million
3. simon cowell - $45 million
4. david letterman - $40 million
5. donald trump - $32 million
6. jay leno - $32 million
7. dr. phil mcgraw - $30 million
8. "judge" judy sheindlin - $30 million
9. george lopez - $26 million
10. kiefer sutherland - $22 million

you make how much?? million?! a year?!?! for doing what?!?!?!?!?
this is just insane... what could you possibly do that's worth that much money???
there are people in this world who do much more important things and get paid less than these people pay in income tax! that is, if they even pay income tax! i don't get celebrities who are so filthy rich but then can't manage to pay their taxes - it baffles the mind!

tiny mcturtlesons

siamese turtles! aren't they so cute!

this/these little guy(s) are currently on display at a pet store in norristown, pennsylvania...

anyone feel like a field trip???

newlyweds

"Oakville woman weds reality show stanger"
Ignorning her parents' entreaties, Oakville woman opts for marriage in bazarre radio contest

interesting... very interesting...
good thing they're both mildly attractive otherwise this might not have worked out so well...
the most bizarre thing is that this isn't the first time the radio station has done this! they've done it twice before with as many successes! the other 2 couple remain married and even have children!

full of themselves

on the heels of the international team's embarrassment at the hands of the americans on the first day of the presidents cup i found my self wondering: why whenever someone hosts an "international" event is it almost always usa vs. the world??? makes my distaste for americans grow exponentially when they flash their pompousness around like a fat money wad or a gold watch...

something to think about

"'Green' fuel worsens global warming"
Nobel chemist finds corn farming methods can hurt the Earth more than burning gasoline

so it's not so cut-and-dried when it comes to making eco-friendly decisions...

gross...

"Bankers wipe out dirty money"
Cental bank shredded $6.4 in mutilated, contaminated cash in 2006

eww... i'm never handling money with my bare hands again! i knew it was dirty but i never really thought about it that hard... urine, feces, and vomit!?! at least canadian money doesn't smell like american money - that makes me gag just thinking about it!
excuse me, i need to go wash my hands...

the stupid awards - you decide!

check out the three candidates for "idiotic burnout of the month"
1. steve-o
2. michael vick
3. the stoned cop

then head on down to the bottom of the page and cast your vote!
hurry! you only have until october 4th to vote!
**this poll is now closed**

the stupid awards continued...

yet another candidate for "idiotic burnout of the month"!!
steve-o from jackass is claiming lindsay lohan stole his blow!
who's more of a burn out: lindsay or steve-o?
i'm gonna go with steve-o on this once seeing as even though she fucked up large, lindsay is still a hot ticket item!

the stupid awards

instead of these two superstars, my new candidate for "idiotic burnout of the month is disgraced nfl-er michael vick...
this moron is already waist-deep in legal shit for funding a dogfighting ring on his surry county property and as part of his release is subject to random drug testing... so what does he go and do? like any sensible person trying to avoid jailtime, he lights one up! how stupid can you possibly be???

doing your part

so chatelaine has a list of "baby steps you can take on the path to green living" that bears some looking into... although i don't see replacing your furnace or your washer/dryer as a baby steps, all the tips are steps in the right direction that can be easily implemented. by no means will you be branded an eco-saviour for making these changes but every little bit helps!

entertaining reading...

"Top 10 dumb sports rules - These regulations were made to be broken"

i'm not that much of an all-around sports fan and i don't really have my 2 cents to add but i still found this interesting reading...

be kind to your mothers

"Mom's 12th baby is a whopper at 17.1 pounds"

geezes! 17.1 pounds!?! gawd... what can i do to make sure one like that never comes outta me???
and apparently this unlucky lady's other 11 kids were all 11-plus pounds at birth! she brews 'em big! good thing they were all delivered by c-section!

according to the WHO, the average weight for healthy newborns is around 7.06 pounds... this kid is like 2.5 normal kids! and she's not even the record! guiness world records has the largest surviving baby at 22.5 pounds - a boy born in italy in 1955...

i was only like 5 pounds wheni was born! that 22.5 pound kid is like 4 of me... only in one big package! i know how much pain i put my mother through (birthing and otherwise...) so i can imagine how nice this 17 pound kid's gonna have to be to her mom!

great balls of fire

Boy set on fire

Glencoe, Ont. - A 14-year -old boy is recovering from burns after being set on fire outside a high school in this town near London.
Police say the boy was sprayed with an aerolsol deodorant and set on fire by another student at Glencoe District High School yesterday.
The unidentified teenager was able to extinguish the fire but suffered first-, second- and third-degree burns to his torso. He has since been relaesed from hospital.
Police say it's too early to say whether or not the incident was intentional.
Glencoe is about 25 kilometres southwest of London.

police are unsure if it was intentional??? how can you be unsure? how does something like that happen unintentionally? who would do this to themselves intentionally? and if someone did it as a prank or out of malice, surely police would be arresting someone... You can't just go around setting people on fire and get away with it!
i bet they never made a TAG/AXE body spray commercial that featured a guy on fire! girls find that hot, really hot...
