Mary Had A Little Lamb

And so did Mr. Johnson… .

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — A deputy fire chief is on paid leave following his arrest in alleged bestial acts with his next-door neighbor’s lamb, authorities said.

Johnson, 52, was booked on three misdemeanor charges — disorderly conduct, trespassing and public sexual indecency, authorities said. He was released from jail on his own recognizance Sunday.

This just makes me thing of a certain Woody Allen movie. I’m sure if you’re seen that movie, you know all about Gene Wilder and “Daisy.”

The World May Be Out Of Natural Blondes in 200 Years

Apparently, the last truly natural blonde might be born in Finland in roughly 2202.

Update: Thanks to Mrs H. for pointing out that this little fact mentioned in the article is a hoax (and I did put “blondes” into Snopes’ search engine I just couldn’t find it). That being said, the main point of the article was about how Caveman-era humans were the first natural blondes, and this little fact just was buried in it. The article is still worth a read.

After reading this, I really have the urge for a good burger. If they were only open past 3

Legend Of Zelda is 20 Years Old

Man, I loved that game as a kid, and was stupidly excited when I finished the game, onlly to then find out that there was a horribly complicated second quest. Here’s a look back at the last 20 years.

Victoria Didn’t Have Many Secrets in The 70s, Either

Just check out these scans of Victoria’s Secret catalogs from 1977 and while they’re a bit more conservative (I still wouldn’t argue with seeing my wife in anything they sold back then), things haven’t changed much (at least with their clothes — the models wearing them certainly have).

Real Life Simpsons Intro

Somebody went through the trouble to recreate the entire into to The Simpsons using real people, and it is very well done.

Oregon Will Swallow the UK Whole

Despite Oregon having 50 million people less than the UK, Oregon is, according to the CIA World Fact Book, slightly larger than the UK. Neil, who lives in the UK, pointed this out to me, obviously doesn’t know much about Oregon’s geography (he is a Brit, after all, <joke>and nobody would ever call them educated </joke>). Like I commented on his entry, some places in Oregon are just just hard to live in — the mountain areas, some of the desert areas East of Bend, <joke>and parts of LaPine</joke>.

Update: Since out of towners weren’t really getting the jokes without the properly opening <joke> tag, I’ve gone ahead and put them in to be clear.

Barry Bonds Is Screwed

He’s so going to get banned from baseball (or at least the hall of fame) for this.
