CRAZY NEIGHBOOR STORIES
Can you believe Jinger's seven year old neighboor, shot Jim, her husband, in the head with a paint ball gun? Have any crazy neighboor stories?
SUMMER SONG OF 2010?
Every summer has one. A song that forever seals the summer's memories in your brain so years from now when you hear it, you'll instantly remember. CNN is trying to figure out which song will reach that iconic status that are in the same realm as DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince's (Izzy's Fav!) "Summertime," Rihanna's "Umbrella," and "Nelly's "Hot in Herre." Here are the top contenders, according to CNN:
Usher featuring Will.i.am, "OMG"
Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull, "I Like It" from the "Jersey Shore" soundtrack.
Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg, "California Gurls"
3OH!3 and Ke$ha, "My First Kiss"
Lady Gaga, "Alejandro"
YOU CAN'T MAKE HALF HUMAN/ANIMAL CREATURES ANYMORE?????
In the past month, Ohio and Arizona have both passed laws making it illegal to create HALF-HUMAN, HALF-ANIMAL hybrids. Louisiana and Oklahoma already had those laws. And other states could be hopping on that bandwagon too.
The bans are happening because human-animal hybrids are making news . . . not as weird pets, but because they could have a very real, possibly even game-changing, scientific impact.
In the past 15 years, researchers have been able to create human-animal hybrids like sheep with human livers and mice with human immune systems. They look like animals on the outside but have human organs and cells on the inside.
This could be HUGE for medical cures and advances. Like, if you destroy your liver with a lifetime of pounding bourbon, scientists could extract liver cells from you, insert them into a sheep, and harvest you a new liver made from your own cells.
Because they'd be your own cells, they could even be trained to fight an infection or disease . . . maybe even CANCER and HIV . . . and, when they were put back in your body, it would recognize them and use them to fight off your illness.
BUT . . . just like with stem cells, there's a big moral dilemma here . . . and that's why Ohio and Arizona have banned this kind of research. Opponents believe that mixing human and animal cells is UNNATURAL, and a crime against nature.
HOMETOWN JUSTICE BABY!
I've still never met anyone who thinks traffic cameras are REALLY there for our safety . . . they're a cash grab by the local police and we ALL know it.
So I've got to applaud Brian McCrary of Gray, Tennessee (--in the northeast part of the state). Earlier this year, he got a $90 speeding ticket from a camera in Bluff City, Tennessee . . . and decided he was going to fight it in his own, unique way.
Brian's a computer network designer. He looked up the Bluff City Police Department's website at BluffCityPD.com . . . and he noticed that they'd let the registration on their website domain name expire.
(--The way domain names work, you can buy one as long as no one else currently has it registered. And you own it from that point on, as long as you keep paying the annual fee, which can be around $10 per year.)
So Brian purchased the domain name for about $10 and set up his OWN website at BluffCityPD.com. This one features a cartoon character shaped like a police badge, clutching some cash . . . plus links about the SCAM of traffic cameras.
The Bluff City Police Department's chief, David Nelson, said the officer who manages the website is on medical leave, which is how they let it expire.
And . . . unless they can prove they own the copyright to BluffCityPD . . . or Brian voluntarily gives or sells it to them . . . they won't be able to get that domain name back.
FUNNY PRANK
This guy wakes his roommate, and makes him hold a tv with a bananna in his mouth, while pushing him in the closet. The guy has no idea what is going on, and just goes with it! It's awesome!
