Barry Bonds’ 700th home run ball was in the hands of an 11-year-old kid before the greedy, heartless buttheads in the stands tore it away from him.

A truck hauling a bunch of classic Porches got high centered on some train tracks at a crossing. I think you know the punchline.

They’re filming this season’s Jeopardy episodes, and the rumors that Ken Jennings, the guy who left last season with over a million bucks in the bank, did eventually lose. I won’t spoil it for you here, so head this direction for how much he did end up winning and how long his streak lasted.

This guy’s is just a bit weird:STANBUL, Turkey, Sept. 2 (UPI) — A 28-year-old Turkish construction worker has broken a world record by squirting milk 9.2. feet — out of his eye.

Ilker Yilmaz poured milk into his hand, snorted it up his nose and squirted it out of his left eye, crashing the record set by Canadian Mike Moraal, which was a paltry 8.745 feet in 2001, Sky News reported Thursday.

Thanks Barney for the tip.

I haven’t been blogging today as I’ve been busy with homeland duties. Was just going to not even blog anything today (hey, everbody needs a break) but I did want to share something, since I have a feeling I’m going to be up for a while now.

My sister-in-law let my wife and I know a couple of hours ago that she had to take my niece (she’s six-years-old) to the hospital. Apparently on their trip back from the Salem today, she was puking all the way home, and feeling really cruddy. Just to make sure nothing was wrong, they took her into the E.R.

I just got a phone call from my wife, who went over there to help my sister-in-law with her two other kids. The diagnosis? She’s going to have to be operated on as she has appendicitis and her appendix needs to be removed. She’s currently waiting for a spot in the operating room and for the on-call surgeon to get prepared.

Nobody should have to go through that, especially a sweet little six-year-old. My heart and prayers go out to her. Don’t expect much tomorrow as not only will I be trying to get a pile of stuff done at work, but I’ll undoubtedly be exhausted.

Yes, he used more toilet paper than most folks, but the poor kid has Irritable Bowl Syndrome, and gets charged with clogging up a toilet. Key Quote from the story: “I’ve never been arrested before or anything like that, and I get arrested for taking a dump,” says the pooper. Full Story. Tip via Barney, link via Google News.

This is news I wanted to read on a Monday morning. Many of you will lose your overtime benefits today. So stay a little late — you won’t get a dime for it.

I can’t believe there are so many newspapers running this letter (luckily Google searches couldn’t find it on either Bend.com or BendBulletin.com). On the Bush-Cheney 2004 Web site there’s an automated form that allows you create a letter to the editor that you can send to your local paper. The problem is that your letter will look just like the letters printed in a pile of other newspapers. That’s a propaganda machine right there, ladies and gentlemen.
