Watch out for sharks and sea monsters
Sarah Palin says she accepted David Letterman's apology “on behalf of all young women, like my daughters, who hope men who `joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve.” Then she got a call from Alex Rodriguez letting her know that he didn’t go for teenagers but he thought women who fought comedians were really hot.
Twitter delayed a scheduled downtime for maintenance in order for Iranians and others trying to get news out about the post-election protests to keep going. Twitter knew things were serious when not a single one of the millions of tweets coming out of Iran said, “I’m not doing anything. What are you doing?”
Weird Al Yankovic has released a new single called "Craigslist" in which he pays homage to the Doors and does a Jim Morrison impression. Weird Al Yankovic trying to do Jim Morrison makes him look like the Lounge Lizard King.
A pregnant woman graduating from Columbus State University in Ohio was bumped to the front of the line to receive her diploma so she could be rushed to the hospital after having labor pains. Fearing her water might break and remembering the advice from the movie “The Graduate,” she wore a plastic gown.
General Motors announced an agreement to sell the Swedish automaker Saab to Koenigsegg, a small company that makes high-performance sports cars. For the first time in recent months, nobody at Saab was sobbing.

Duke University engineering researchers have created a technology that allows a person to write a note in the air with their cell phone and send the message to an e-mail address. It’s dangerous enough that people are talking and texting while driving. Now they’re be waving their phones in front of their faces trying to erase what they just wrote.
Researchers in the Netherlands have confirmed that a 60,000-year-old skull fragment found in the North Sea is from a young adult male Neanderthal. This proves that Neanderthals could swim but couldn’t read signs saying “Watch out for sharks and sea monsters.”

Recreating a Monty Python sketch
In preparation for him taking over for his father, the youngest son of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il has been given the title of “Brilliant Comrade.” After giving her mom advice on how to deal with David Letterman, Sarah Palin bestowed the same title on her daughter, Willow.
Now that he’s done his time for his dogfighting convictions, Michael Vick has been released by the Atlanta Falcons. Vick is hoping to get picked up by any other NFL club, although he’s a little worried about the Cleveland Browns and their Dawg Pound.
In Leeds, England, a 7-foot-4-inch burglar was sentenced to 11 months in prison even though his lawyer said his tall stature would cause problems in prison. For example, dropping a bar of soap in the shower from that height could knock someone out.
A 10-year-old girl who played hooky from school to attend his town hall meeting in Green Bay, Wisconsin, got a written excuse for her teacher signed by President Obama. This is nothing new. He’s written hundreds of similar excuses for Bill Clinton to give to Hillary.
The conversion from analog to digital TV service left more than a million people staring at a blank screen. Many who had lost their remotes and had no other way to turn off Bill O’Reilly were grateful.
A Michigan man was charged with home invasion after a neighbor said she found him in her car wearing just a purple bra and boxer shorts. Police didn’t believe his alibi that he was merely recreating a Monty Python sketch.

Former President George W. Bush delivered a taped message to the troops serving in Iraq on one of the Baghdad broadcasts of “The Colbert Report.” He thanked them for being there and then he thanked his wife Laura for reminding him that they were still there.
A mixed black Lab named Jack who ran away from his owner in a Seattle park found and ate some marijuana and got high. The owner knew the dog was stoned because he forgot his name but came when he called him “Snoop.”

The Buena Vista Socialist Club
A woman in Austin, Texas, used a recyclable grocery bank to hold the money she robbed from a bank. Talk about environmentally-conscious. Not only did she haul away greenbacks in a green bag, she threatened the teller with a green-piece.
Kyra Sedgwick says she and her husband, Kevin Bacon, lost a lot of “hard-earned money” investing in the Ponzi scheme run by Bernard Madoff. They’re so broke, a lot of former friends are repositioning themselves to at least 8 or 9 degrees away from Kevin.
A rabbi in Israel has issued a ruling allowing ultra-orthodox Jews to operate their mobile phones on the Sabbath and religious holidays with their teeth. Apple plans to take advantage of this by offering a special device called the eyetooth-Phone.
A woman in Israel threw out a mattress not knowing it contained her mother’s life savings of $1 million. Being a typical Jewish mother, she plans to forgive her daughter as soon as she finds the money or marries a really rich doctor.
It looks like Rosie O’Donnell will return to Broadway in a revival of the musical “Babes in Arms.” It’s not the role most people think she’d be best in, but there’s already someone playing the lead in “Shrek.”
The latest rumor is that Britney Spears is dating her agent, Jason Trawick. They were spotted looking for a house within walking distance of an emergency mental health clinic.
Texas Governor Rick Perry broke his right collarbone in a mountain biking accident. Or as he would put it, a bone in his neck seceded from his collar.
A Washington state appeals judge tossed out a woman's claim that continuously honking her horn in front of her neighbor's house is protected free speech. It’s only protected free speech if she honks to the tune of the National Anthem.
Fiat has closed the deal to take over most of Chrysler's assets. Sticking to its Italian roots, the first new car produced by the Fiat/Chrysler partnership will be an inexpensive hybrid pizza delivery vehicle.
A federal judge has ordered former State Department employee Walter Kendall Myers and his wife, Gwendolyn, held without bond on charges of spying for Cuba. Prosecutors feared they would flee the country for Cuba and join up with their fellow spies in the Buena Vista Socialist Club.

Resort-a-potty
President Obama says his $787 billion stimulus plan will deliver more than 600,000 jobs this summer. Over half of them involve washing cars at the new company he just bought.
Bret Michaels of the heavy metal band Poison was hurt when he ran into scenery while performing at the Tony Awards show. He suspects the scenery was moved by an annoyed Elton John whose idea of heavy metal is cast iron hoop earrings.
A former New York state prison inmate claims he was permanently injured when a prison nurse failed to treat a 55-hour erection caused by an anti-psychotic drug. He’s paying for the lawsuit with money collected from his fellow cellmates, who still call it the best weekend ever.
A $300,000 public pay toilet in Boston is finally open for business after being under construction for two years. $300,000? Forget port-a-potty … that’s a resort-a-potty.
North Korea has convicted two American journalists and sentenced them to 12 years of hard labor for allegedly crossing the border illegally. Luckily, 12 years of hard labor in North Korea is still easier than 12 years of living in North Korea.
For the first time in over 30 years, a theater showed a movie in Saudi Arabia, even though it was only open to men. It was a typical Saudi buddy picture about two guys who don’t get high, don’t chase women and always remember where they were last night.
In an interview, former first lady Laura Bush said she's pleased that President Barack Obama nominated a woman for the Supreme Court and thinks Sonia Sotomayor is a good choice. She says her husband won’t be second-guessing President Obama on this, which can mean only one thing … his Magic 8-Ball is broken.
Erica Kane, Susan Lucci's character on "All My Children" who has had 10 husbands, will now fall for a much younger man who is her daughter's ex-husband and ex-fiance's stepson. If that doesn’t scare Ashton Kutcher, nothing will.
Will Ferrell's new comedy, “Land of the Lost,” was a flop at the box office on its opening weekend. In a related story, residents of a rich community near Dallas reported hearing their new neighbor, George W. Bush, laughing uncontrollably.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin denies accusations that a recent speech was plagiarized from an article by Newt Gingrich. Just because she can see Newt Gingrich from her front porch, it doesn’t mean she copies from him.

We’re older than we look
In a recent speech, Newt Gingrich said, “We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism.” Well, it’s his own fault for hanging around with Rush Limbaugh.
Summer Bird won the Belmont Stakes, with Kentucky Derby winner and favorite Mine that Bird finishing third. Disappointed bettors gave both of them the bird.
