Why do they always give you like 10 packets of ketchup for a small order of fries?

Do they really HAVE to make a reality show about everything? Like that stupid My Super Sweet Sixteen show on MTV...what the hell is that all about? A bunch of spoiled little brats who make their parents' lives miserable planning for a stupid birthday party that will only last a few hours, yet will cost more than their college education and wedding combined.

Why is Paris Hilton famous?

Does Britney Spears actually think she has a good voice?

What is the deal with that stupid Buger King dude? He freaks me out!Do the Burger King commercial makers actually think that plastic-faced freak will help them sell more burgers?

Why did someone always have to cry in every episode of Little House on The Prairie? Was all that crying really necessary?

Just how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

(That's one way to get rid of spiders)

Well, at least the spiders are gone...

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman laid waste to her family home by setting fire to it as she tried to kill spiders in a garage with a can of hairspray and a cigarette lighter.

Police in the western town of Zuelpich said that when the aerosol failed to finish them off, the 34-year-old woman tried to burn them with the lighter. However, this set the area she had just sprayed on fire and the blaze spread to a hedge.

"It was a series of unfortunate events which led to the damage," a police spokesman said Thursday.

"She tried to put the fire out with a garden hose, but couldn't. Instead her semi-detached house next to the hedge caught fire. It's now uninhabitable."

Firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze and save the neighboring house, which sustained broken windows and some charring. The spokesman estimated the total cost of the damage at well over 100,000 euros. No one was hurt.

"The family have had to look for somewhere else to stay," he said. "The spiders are gone though -- that problem was solved."

You're Deputy Travis Junior. You spend more time

Stripper stabs man who refused lap dance

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An angry San Diego topless dancer pulled out a knife and stabbed a customer after he refused a lap dance, police said on Thursday.

"He was in the club with some friends watching the shows when she came up and asked if he wanted a lap dance," Hassen said. "He said no, she got upset about it, they argued back and forth. She pulled knife out of her bag and stabbed him."

Jordan was treated for his injuries and released by a local hospital.

Random Thoughts From a Brain in Pain

I have a migraine....I think the reason why they call them migraines is that "migraine" rhymes with "pain." It is getting better tho. A little while ago I felt like I was gonna lose my lunch and my head was gonna explode, but here I am, lunch digesting nicely and my head still intact.

On the upside of things, it is Thursday, which means Friday is tomorrow. One day closer to a 3-day weekend :) I can't wait to go home and relax. I get up in the morning and think to myself, as I am groggily getting ready for work, that I can't wait til I come back home! if sleep were an obsession, I would be sleep obsessed. Then again, maybe sleep IS an obsession to some people, and maybe I AM obsessed....just something to ponder.

I am obsessed with some things. Like making sure the door is locked before I leave the house or before I go to bed. And making sure my car alarm is set when I park my car. And making sure that my curling iron is unplugged before I leave the house. Yes, I am obsessed with these and many more things. Am I crazy? I don't think I am. But maybe some people might disagree with me (hehe). I am also an organization freak at work and an anal one at that. I am completely obsessed with "evenness"--- yes, "evenness." Like if a picture is hanging slightly crooked it unnerves me and I feel myself just wanting to go straighten it! I fought very hard the other day as I was observing a trainees interview to NOT straighten out the papers that were on the desk. I am so bad! lol. I think I get it from my mom. She is obsessed with the coffee maker...she cannot leave the house in peace if she thinks it still may be plugged in. Oh, and both of my parents are obsessed with the garage door...they would get completely stressed out if they didn't remember shutting the damned thing before leaving on a trip somewhere....whether it be out of town or just down to the store. Maybe you would call that paranoia and not obsession though. Hmmm.

I SO need a haircut. My hair is getting shaggy. I need to dye it again, too. Those gray hairs are peeping back out again. GRRRR!

Almost time to go home now. Thank the lord!

(Better lock up your cats!)

This gives new meaning to "cat burglar"

BERLIN (Reuters) - German police called to a break-in at an apartment in the northern town of Itzstedt found the intruder still on the premises and hiding under a kitchen cabinet.

The "cat burglar" had somehow crawled into the ground-floor of the apartment, broken window blinds, torn down drapes and trashed furniture.

Police also found fish and fish remains from a broken aquarium scattered around the apartment, said Julika Reinhardt, spokesman for the police in the town north of Hamburg.

Two officers finally found the offender, a cat, hiding under a kitchen cabinet but the heavyweight male resisted arrest, biting one officer in the thumb before they both managed to overpower it.

Reinhardt said the cat, wearing a name tag, was returned to its owner who would have to pay for the damage.

"No one knows how the cat broke in," she said. "But the damage was considerable."

Update

I decided to take the "no-right click" function off of my blog...for now. I have had trouble in the past with people "direct linking" (or "hotlinking") to my images and, as a result, my server would crash. I like to collect cute images, myself and borrow quiz things from other people's blogs, so I didn't think it was fair for me to take other people's stuff and not share the wealth. Feel free to copy any of the pictures to your own hard drives, but PLEASE do not directly link on your pages to my images. It is just not nice, and it is illegal ! You can get a FREE file hosting site at places such as www.myfilestash.com or www.photobucket.com. All you need is an email address and you are set. If my server crashes again, I will have to disable the right click function yet again. So, please, be nice :)

Blast From The Past

Remember these? These toys that after a while would get tangled up and become a big, steel mess? Sure, they were fun for a while, until you decided to see what it would look like all straightened out. They were sure fun while they lasted though. It is amazing just how a coiled up piece of steel could entertain somebody for so long. Just proves that people are easily entertained for the most part. It's slinky...it's fun for a girl or a boy.

Trivia: The Slinky was invented by Richard James, a naval engineer, in 1945.

U.S. woman sues over harvesting of brother's brain

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A woman has sued the largest county in Washington state for harvesting the brain of her dead brother for research without obtaining permission from next of kin, according to court records obtained on Tuesday.

In a lawsuit filed 10 days ago in Pierce County Superior Court, Robinette Amaker of North Carolina claimed that the brain of her deceased brother, Bradley Gierlich, was taken from his body in 1998 at the King County Medical Examiner's office.

Amaker, who is seeking unspecified monetary damages, said that the brain and other tissue samples were sent to Stanley Medical Research Institute, an organisation based in Bethesda, Maryland that provides brain samples for research into schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.

Amaker and her lawyer were not immediately available for comment.

Stanley Medical did not return calls seeking comment, but a statement on its Web site said, "Stanley Medical Research Institute has never knowingly obtained any donation of brain or other tissue without the full consent of available next of kin."

James Apa, spokesman for the medical examiner's office, cited a previous statement by the agency saying that consent was given for 255 cases of brain donation in the county. Stanley Medical had contracted with King County between 1995 to 2002 to obtain brain samples.

"Defendants took the property (brain) in a wrongful and tortuous manner, and a demand for its return would have been useless," the lawsuit said.

Man Has Girl Present Hold-Up Note at Bank 2 hours, 28 minutes ago

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Michael Lyons apparently had a funny practical joke planned for his daughter's birthday. In the end, no one was laughing — especially Lyons.

Lyons, 45, was arrested after he told a 13-year-old girl to hand a note to a bank teller, police said. The note said, "Give me all of your money, this is a stick up," according to a police report.

The incident happened Friday when Lyons and a group of girls were celebrating his daughter's birthday. While he was getting money out of an ATM, the girl went into the bank and handed the note to a teller.

The teller sounded the bank's alarm, and police and FBI surrounded the building. Instead of robbers, they found Lyons and the girls.

Lyons was charged with criminal attempt of robbery by intimidation, said Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police spokesman Bucky Burnsed.

"You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater, can't joke about a bomb in your luggage at the airport, and you can't write notes to cashier that say 'This is a stick up,'" Burnsed said.

Funny Stuff From George Carlin

how many times has this happened to you? lol

"Do you ever find yourself standing in a room, and you can't remember why you went in there? And you think to yourself, 'Maybe if I go back where I was I'll see something that reminds me. Or maybe it would be quicker if I just stand here and hope it comes back to me.' Usually as you're weighing those options, two words float across your mind: 'Alzheimer's Disease.'

"Bright sparks" destroy car trying to steal fuel

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Three men trying to steal fuel from a New Zealand farm on Monday ended up setting fire to their own car.

Police said the trio had siphoned diesel into a petrol-driven vehicle. When their car would not start, they examined the fuel pipe using a cigarette lighter.

One click, a boom and the car burst into flames.

"It wasn't a major whodunnit," senior sergeant Ross Gilbert told Reuters, from the small North Island town of Waipukurau, about 230 km (143 miles) northeast of Wellington.

"Fortunately for them, there is no criminal charge for stupidity."

The men, aged 18 to 19, escaped injury but were charged with theft.
