Ante Meridiem Eye Openers-November 5, 2007CE

And again, we are back. For a new week just leaves unlimited chances to make ourselves look and sound exceedingly stupid.

1) Italian Police have captured the number one guy in charge of the mafia. Don't worry, it was a guy named Salvatore Lo Piccolo, not the leader of the gay mafia, Kathy Griffin. Not to be confused with Peter Griffin, from Family Guy, or Peter Lawford, member of the Rat Pack. Or Peter Paul and Mary, legendary folk trio, or St. Paul, early figure of the Christian Church, or Mary Pickford, America's Sweetheart from the silent era of film. I wouldn't want you to get confused.

2) The most famous Egyptian, which makes you wonder what those guys have been doing for so many millennium, King Tut, was moved from his sarcophagus and laid in a climate controlled box on Sunday. Archaeologists work the oddest hours. Officials have said that the face of King Tut is the only part of the mummy that is intact. Sort of like Ron Santo. (Yikes, even I am appalled at that joke)

3) And finally, my prayers were answered by a benevolent and merciful deity. Knight Rider is back. Hopefully the car will be voiced by Wanda Sikes. I just love those new Applebee's commercials.

Well, that's about it. It's just like Oscar Levant said: "Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I."
