Small, medium and Alexander

Sarah Palin is in L.A. with the creator of “Survivor” to pitch a reality show about Alaska. She’d have better luck with a game show called “Are You Smarter Than A Former Governor of Alaska?”

A kosher supermarket in the Baltimore area will become the largest in the U.S when it moves into the site of a former Safeway store. If you get lost in it, don’t ask for directions from any store clerk named Moses.

A company has developed a device called the “Porn Detection Stick” that will search the images on your computer and produce a report of suspected pornography. If you can’t afford $98.95, you can get the same report just by letting your wife use your PC.

A New Zealand inventor built a 60-miles-an-hour hovercraft out of parts from his barbecue, his daughter's scooter, and his wife’s car. He got the idea when he put too much lighter fluid on his barbecue that was in between his daughter’s scooter and his wife’s car.

A pilot suspected of flying with a fake license for more than a decade was arrested in the Netherlands shortly before he was scheduled to depart on a flight carrying 101 passengers. Luckily for the passengers, it was “Take you child to work day” at the airport and his 8-year-old son took over the controls.

More than 250 silver coins dating back to the time of Alexander the Great were discovered by an archeologist in northern Syria. They were found inside an early vending machine offering coffee in three sizes: small, medium and Alexander.

Scientists at Cornell say they've discovered a protein that disrupts a mosquito’s ability to urinate. It won’t kill the mosquito but it keeps them up all night so they’re too tired to bite.

A toy company is marketing a product in England that allows dog owners to receive messages from their pets via Twitter. Dogs never use all 140 characters since their most popular message is “P!”

A New York woman is suing a wig store claiming that a falling mannequin head injured her foot and her husband is suing the same store claiming the injury ruined his sex life. I don’t know what she did with her foot, but I can see why he’s probably having a hard time doing it himself.

Warner Bros. studio is working on a movie adaptation of the 1960s television sit-com “Gilligan's Island” that will be set in the present day. The writers are waiting to see who gets cast as Ginger and Maryanne before deciding whether Gilligan wants to be rescued or not.

Despite the fact that a Kentucky psychiatrist is in jail charged with stabbing a female patient with a sword, some of his other patients keep showing up trying to see him. They think the stabbing was a one-time thing, kind of a Freudian slit.
