Social Networking News:
MySpace has identified and deleted a stunning 29,000 registered sex offenders profiles from its Web site. In other news, Facebook just announced they’ve added 29,000 new members.
Potholes:
According to a recent report, New York City can expect up to 20,000 potholes from blizzards and storms this coming winter. Worried city officials are concerned that they may not have enough streets to accommodate all of them.
Complimentary Bar:
Went to a wedding on the North Shore a couple of weeks ago which was supposed to have a complimentary bar. I told the bartender I wanted a whiskey and soda and he said that’ll be $8.00. I said I thought it was supposed to be a “complimentary bar.” The bartender looks at me and says “oh yea, that’s a nice Aloha Shirt you have on.”
Senior Editor:
While I was sitting in the waiting room at my doctor’s office, I took a look at a copy of the AARP magazine and noticed that they had an article written by a “senior editor.” I’m thinking, aren’t they all senior editors?
Family Sues Genie:
In what has to be one of the stranger legal cases, a family in Saudi Arabia has filed suit in a religious court against a “genie” that the family claims steals cell phones, whispers threats and occasionally flings stones. Just goes to show you don’t wanna rub a genie the wrong way.
Drug Complications:
The Journal of The American Medical Association says that a third of all drug complications in hospitals are due to errors. Does that mean that the other two thirds were intentional?
Poor Psychotherapists:
A newsletter for health care professionals says that one third of psychotherapists are now working second jobs to make ends meet. One financially strapped therapist confessed that the real reason she has patients lie down on the couch is in the hope that any spare change will roll out of their pockets.
Decisions, Decisions:
While I was in the checkout line at the health food store the other day there was lady asking the cashier about 300 questions about the bran muffin she was buying. I’m thinking lady please, its not like choosing a college for your kids. Its BRAN! Even if you make the wrong decision, how long are you gonna have to live with it?
