More Things to Worry About on Monday
Recession? Sony is apparently willing to back taking Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? to, er, Afghanistan TV (although a million Afghani doohickies is only $21k) (But if you're Afghani, $21k damn well feels like a million.) Reuters via Yahoo
Tom Owen ("The Human Speed Bump") was hospitalized trying to break the Guinness Book record for number of cars to run over him in succession (eight). Mission accomplished, basically. (Bonus: Career-wise, he has over 1,000 notches.) Arizona Republic
In Nigeria, a father turned in his 20-yr-old son to police, for the boy's amotivational behavior (i.e., he's a lazy bum), and a court immediately dished out 30 lashes. Reuters via Yahoo
Speed-grieving at an Australian rugby match: Player drops dead on the field, of a heart attack. Moment of silence. Play ball!. Courier-Mail (Brisbane)
"We told you math was something you could actually use in life," might be what the 375 Texas schoolteachers who were laid off last week have been telling their kids, because the reason they had to go was that the Dallas school district "massive[ly]" miscalculated the budget. CNN

"The Human Speed Bump" - Huh? What some people won't do for fame.
Reminds me of a joke.
What do gays call hemorrhoids?
Speed bumps.

30 lashes - We should have some of this here! We should also have this for parents who don't parent!

How exactly does one "massively miscalculate" a budget? Sometimes I might be off by a couple of dollars when I'm balancing my checkbook, but $84 million? How much do you guys want to bet that money is lining some pockets somewhere.

avmayes614 - Sure we parent in Lousy Anna. We do it just like the rest of the civilized world. Plop the little bastards in front of the TV while we talk on the phone or surf the net. 😊
My kids are even luckier than my wife!
