CNN has the following link on their ‘Top Stories’ list:
Viking ship to ply North Sea; no invasion planned.‘
Well thank god for the clarification. Granted our intelligence failures have been rather frequent lately. It’s good to know more than a thousand years after the fact we still need to specify when writing an article about Vikings setting out to sea. Many Northern Europeans will sleep softly again.
I just hope the Pirates don’t have anything to say about this.
Note to thieves everywhere: Don’t mess with David Copperfield.
After performing at the Kravis Center in Florida Copperfield was approached by thugs while wallking to his tour bus:
Copperfield, 50, and two female assistants were walking from the Kravis Center to their tour bus when they were approached by the teens April 23. The assistants handed over money and a cellphone, but the illusionist turned his pockets inside out to reveal nothing, although he was carrying his passport, wallet and cell phone.
“He said in depositions that he had things on him, but it wasn’t difficult to make it seem like there was nothing there,” prosecutor Sherri Collins said.
I don’t know what’s funnier to picture, Copperfield walking with a girl on each arm or a guy mugging him only to find he doesn’t have anything via magic. I think as a causual criminal and if I knew who he was I would have called him on this magic bullshit.
Side Note: If he’s that good at magic he would have made the assistants valuables disappear as well.
After 6 home games Ohio State is replacing its’ field for the second time this season. It was originally replaced on September 26th after Ohio State’s 28-6 win over Penn State in the third home game of the season. Now three games later the turf is being replaced again. Here are my questions:
1. How can a ‘Land Grant University‘, with a degree program in Field Turf not have the agricutural skill to create a football field that will last 7 games?
2. How can the same field need to be replaced twice in one season?
I just don’t get. There must be a professor of Field Turf Management who knows how to plant some grass. I don’t understand how 50 years ago they didn’t change the turf on a football field all year, yet they ran the ball probably 30% more.
