Argentina is the first country in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage. Those who objected to the new law are now afraid that the country’s signature dance, the tango, will be replaced by the mango.
President Obama and Oprah Winfrey are among 500 people reported invited to ex-first daughter Chelsea Clinton's wedding. The Secret Service will have extra agents there to protect the president when Oprah goes airborne in an attempt to catch the bouquet.
Kellogg admits that higher-than-normal amounts of methyl naphthalene in its package liners caused the unusual smell and flavor that prompted a recall of 28 million boxes of Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks. The recalled cereals are being repackaged as Methyl Munchies, Napthalene Nibbles and Odor Oaties.
A Colorado man has developed a car with two toilet bowls for seats. He’s already received orders from a number of lovelorn former NASA astronauts.
A man in India was taken to the hospital after a friend bet him he couldn’t swallow a poisonous snake. The man had recently been laid off but luckily was covered by COBRA insurance.
A model in Romania has started a new political party just for beautiful people. The name is a Romanian word that translates loosely to “Not The Tea Party.”
Shooting has begun on a remake of “Arthur,” the 1981 hit starring Dudley Moore. It’s being funded by the Republican Party in an attempt to convince voters that drunk millionaires can be loveable.
Republican Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky says that New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was “smart” to die in a year when there is no federal estate tax. If that’s true, it means there’s still time for Dr. Kevorkian to make a comeback as an estate counselor.
A Texas animal control officer said an alleged chupacabra, a mythical Mexican creature that sucks the blood from goats, was actually a hairless canine-coyote hybrid with mange. It’s confusing because that also describes half the contestants at a typical Mixed Martial Arts tournament.

Barbara wouldn’t let him toss W
NASA reports that the first six months of this year were the hottest on record. It’s so hot, President Obama is meeting with Republicans just for the cold reception.
It’s so hot, Lindsay Lohan wrote “F U Sun” on her fingernails.
Swimmers in Austria are being asked to keep their mouths shut in public pools because it costs too much to replace the water they swallow. They also asked that swimmers wait an hour after eating a meal but jump right in if they’re on a liquid diet.
A total of 1,062 Chinese people broke a Guinness world record by keeping soccer balls in the air with their feet for 10 seconds simultaneously. They could have gone longer but quit when they saw another thousand people coming to cheer them on with vuvuzelas.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he's seriously considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination. It’s the only thing left after finding out there’s no openings on “Dancing With The Stars” until 2013.
Tiger Woods says he expects a positive reception from British fans at the British Open. The British will forgive any infidelity scandal as long as neither party screams out the queen’s name during sex.
In Washington state, the driver of a FedEx tractor-trailer rig choked on some spicy pork rinds, lost control of his truck on an interstate and jackknifed it before coming to a stop in a ditch. He was charged with DWI – driving with indigestion.
Archaeologists in Jerusalem have discovered a clay fragment from the 14th century B.C. that contains the words "you," "them," and "later." Sounds like evidence that Noah was auditioning young ladies for the last two seats on the ark.
Former President George H.W. Bush's fishing boat, Fidelity IV, ran aground in thick fog on a beach near his Maine home. He could have freed the boat by throwing off some dead weight but Barbara wouldn’t let him toss W.
A man stopped for a traffic violation in Connecticut was found to have seven bags of heroin concealed in his buttocks. The police got suspicious when they saw the man drive by and moon a crack house.
The parent company of Penthouse magazine plans to make an offer to buy Playboy Enterprises from Hugh Hefner, who wants to take the company private. Penthouse plans to make the bid in a letter that begins with “She begged to wrap a $100 million check around my hot, rigid manhood.”

To Grill A Mockingbird
Former President Bill Clinton presided at the wedding ceremony for U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Bill’s only slip came after he had married the couple and then said, “I may now kiss the bride.”
Rev. Jesse Jackson says Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert’s comments about LeBron James sounded like they were directed at a “runaway slave.” Actually, James was more like a freed slave how just got 40 million acres and a mule.
The Swiss government declared Roman Polanski a free after rejecting a U.S. request to extradite him on a charge of having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. The director of “Chinatown” is now working on a new movie about the current state of affairs in the U.S. called “Chinacountry.”
There’s speculation over whether Chelsea Clinton will convert before marrying Marc Mezvinsky, who was raised in Conservative Judaism. When asked what he thought of the possibility of his daughter converting to Judaism, her father Bill said, “That’s depends on what your definition of “ism” is.
Patrick Hemingway, the 82-year-old son of writer Ernest Hemingway, says his father would approve of a new line of shoes named after him. However, he probably wouldn’t help the business by changing the name of one of his books to “For Whom They Sell Soles.”
Two Southern California men played darts for 30 hours, 7 minutes to set a world record for the longest dart game ever. They also set a record for the longest time two people played darts without once saying, “What’s your point?”
Police in Washington arrested a men impersonating a bus driver who stole a bus and picked up passengers before crashing into a tree. The passengers started to get suspicious when the guy was polite, on schedule and waited for a lady who was running late.
It’s the 50th anniversary of Harper Lee's literary classic, “To Kill A Mockingbird.” She never wrote another novel, although she was tempted to write a cookbook called “To Grill A Mockingbird.”
A new biography of Sarah Palin is being written to appeal to 9-to-12-year-olds. Kind of like her speeches.
Producers of “Glee” say there’s no chance Britney Spears will appear on the musical comedy-drama despite a Twitter campaign by her manager. That’s too bad because the cheerleader coach on “Glee” is the only person left capable of talking some sense into Britney.

Reproductus expeditus
More bad news for Cleveland. All of the people who believe that LeBron James leaving the city is the end of the world have decided to stay.
ESPN’s rating for the big LeBron James announcement were so good, everyone wants in. The Food Network is pushing to broadcast his first decision when he arrives in Miami on whether to go out for seafood, ribs or Chinese.
Celine Dion announced on her web site that she’s pregnant with twin boys. She didn’t need an ultrasound – the doctor could tell from the two nipple-shaped objects sticking out on either side of her navel.
A new study found than people can be addicted to love the same as they can become addicted to drugs because the same parts of the brain are involved. It’s the part of the brain located beneath the area of the skull that both types of addicts bang against the wall.
A new study found that women are more willing to engage in "reproduction expediting" sexual activities as their biological clocks tick louder. Which explains why “reproductus expeditus” is the Latin word for “cougar.”
An upcoming auction in New York will feature the belongings of movie cowboy Roy Rogers, including the preserved remains of his horse, Trigger. The stuffed horse could fetch $200,000 – more if it still has the marks on its rear where Roy’s wife Dale Evans used to kick it.
Some people never learn. Lindsay Lohan is trying to find a network willing to broadcast her decision whether to go to a prison where the uniforms are orange or one where the inmates wear stripes.
