Someone sent me an e-mail declaring, among other things, that "the male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off."
I'm not so sure that is true, but then on the other hand the human female sometimes rips the male's head off when he suggests having sex.
Imus is back
Radio disk jerky Don Imus is apparently headed back to the radio following his banishment for derogatory remarks he made concerning a college team.
We have not missed Mr. Imus, in fact, the MSNBC's replacement; "Morning Joe" with Joe Scarborough is an improvement over imitation Cowboy Imus.
There is no word of Imus' return to the MSNBC television circuit. At this point, his main victims will apparently live in the New York radio market. We suggest that his first guest be Al Sharpton.
Turn off the grill
Enough is enough. Nothing worth doing is good for us. Now the experts at Baylor Medical Center are telling us that we "can increase our risk of cancer if we eat grilled meats too often."
"When you grill meat some of the fat (drips) down on to the charcoal and when fat meets that really high temperature it develops a carcinogen and the smoke carries the carcinogen back up to the meat which can be dangerous for our bodies," a Baylor spokesman said recently.
But it tastes so good.
Here I was worrying about the filth on the grill.
Revolutionary sub
Three men were questioned recently when they floated their strange submarine near the Queen Mary 2 in New York harbor.
It turned out the three were testing a Revolutionary War submarine replica known as the "Turtle."
I'd rather be sipping lemonade on a pontoon boat.
