But what to post?
Man arrested for drunk driving blames wife for use of vibrator in the passenger seat?
I only want to know about it if the device takes D batteries.
Walmart abandons bid to set up store in Manhattan?
Other than, "Where will the homeless work now?" Boring!
Bid on lunch with Richard Gere at Celebrity Buzz Auctions?
Why would anyone want to have lunch with someone who smells of gerbil?
Canadian Natives lumped in with terrorists in new army manual?
Who's been watching too many John Wayne movies?
*France is to hand over to Egypt a lock of hair said to belong to the mummy of Ramses II that was put on sale on the Internet last year.
Wasn't that the guy played by bald actor Yul Brenner in the Ten Commandments? Christ! they're not pubes....are they?

OK, now you have my attention. I'll at least check this out.
Jesus! It's more Jesus controversy
*After the chocolate Jesus fiasco of 01/04/07 attention is once again on an artist using religion for artistic purposes.
The exhibit, titled "Blessing," shows Democratic White House hopeful Barak Obama cloaked in white and red robes with a neon halo, is on display at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
What's next a Jesus pinata? Or worse a Hillary Clinton one?
You are the 200,000 visitor to Strangedaze and you win a new car
Well, not really, but CTV is blaming Farley Flex, the music producer and Canadian Idol judge, for a mishap at Sunday night's Juno awards in which a Saskatoon couple was falsely told they had won a convertible sports car.
During pre-show festivities at the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon, Mr. Flex called out two upper-level seat numbers to the audience of more than 13,000 people. He said the people in those seats had won the red Pontiac Solstice that was parked down by the stage.
The couple are currently taking legal action.
For all non Canadians reading this: The Juno's are Canada's version of the Grammy Awards.

In fact, this year's ratings were so low "Corner Gas" did better numbers.
For all non Canadians reading this: "Corner Gas" is the only Canadian sitcom now that the "Beachcombers" and "The King of Kensington" are no longer on the air.
For all Canadians reading this: "Corner Gas" is where you get fuel for your vehicle at a buck a litre.
Beam yourself up Scotty
Star Trek actor James Doohan, who played the engineer Scotty in the original TV series, will now have his remains blasted into space in October.
The actor's ashes were supposed to be sent into orbit last year, but the flight was delayed as tests were carried out on the rocket.
Doohan died of Alzheimer's disease and pneumonia in July 2005, aged 85.
His family will hold a service on the day of the rocket's launch for fans to pay tribute to him.
The actor's ashes will be sent into space along with the remains of around 100 other people, including astronaut Gordon Cooper, who first went to space in 1963.
After a short flight, the rocket will return to Earth, with a subsequent launch putting Doohan's remains into orbit in December or January.
They will remain there for several years, after which they will drop back towards Earth.
Anyone wishing to take out insurance for fear they might be hit with Scotty debris should get in line now.
Feeling a little testy
An Air Force veteran has filed a federal claim after an operation at a Veterans Administration hospital in which a healthy testicle was removed instead of a potentially cancerous one.
Benjamin Houghton, 47, was to have had his left testicle removed June 14 at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center because there was a chance it could harbor cancer cells.
But doctors mistakenly removed the right testicle. He still hasn’t had the other testicle removed.
But when they finally do, how long before this guy wimps out on something and is accused of having no balls?
I want to drive the Zamboni
For Canadians, the Zamboni is a never-ending source of amusement and amazement. Like the time one ran out of gas during a World Hockey Association game and had to be hauled away like a beached whale. Or the night one crashed through the ice at a WHA game while Celine Dion sang, My Heart Will Go On.
But this story is too much.
According to MSNBC, a world leader in lengthy acronyms, a 64-year-old New Jersey man has been let off the hook for driving a Zamboni while intoxicated. That's right: some guy got loaded then climbed behind the wheel of a multi-ton ice-resurfacing machine and hit the gas pedal.
Fortunately, he stayed inside the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, N.J., likely because he couldn't find the exit. Still, John Peragallo drove recklessly around the rink and nearly crashed into the boards while hitting a top speed of … whatever it is a Zamboni can muster.
I'll try to find out what those babies will do on the highway and miles to the gallon and get back to you on it.
*Hush little baby
A Swedish couple has run into trouble with authorities for trying to name their baby Metallica.
Michael and Karolina Tomaro are locked in a court battle with the country's National Tax Authority about naming their daughter after the rock band.
The six-month-old has been baptised Metallica, but tax officials have dubbed the name "inappropriate".
Under Swedish law, both first names and surnames need to win the approval of authorities before they can be used.
Offensive, unsuitable or inappropriate names, as well as those that could "cause discomfort for the one using it" cannot be used.
Good thing I don’t live in Sweden otherwise my son would have never been named "Pisshead".
