I was sick of reading the horrible news stories on CNN, so I went to thesmokinggun.com in search of some comedic relief. The following story is more amazing than funny – it’s amazing that they put this poor girl through this, and it’s amazing that they wasted tax payers’ dollars in doing so. From thesmokinggun.com: […]

A 9 foot tapeworm. Eww and ouch – enough said! Here’s the story: A man who contends he got a 9-foot tapeworm after eating undercooked fish is suing a Chicago restaurant.

I was checking out thesmokinggun.com and I came across a news story about a man who had an unfortunate experience at his local Subway restaurant… seems they couldn’t get his sandwich the way he wanted, so he called 911 for help – not once, not twice, but 3 times. It reminded me of the time

Maybe it’s because I have a daughter named Disney, but for whatever reason, these news stories about people with unusual names interest me. Here is a follow up story to the one I posted the other day about a family with the last name of Jones who named their kids Indiana and Dow… (CNN) —

We are very fortunate to be able to visit the Orlando area in Florida (read: Disney World!) yearly, but during our past two visits, CNN has been overrun with news of unexpected and shocking celebrity deaths. In February 2007 during our visit, the breaking news was of model/actress Anna Nicole Smith’s early demise. It was
