1) The runner-up for today's Headline War comes to us from Newsvine with their run from AP Iowa Town Offers Bounty on Stray Cats. It's pretty much what it sounds like. This town just has too many stray cats. It reads like a Hitchcock abstract. I love how sometimes the best headlines can be the simplest.
But of course the winner of this thing needs to have the balls to lay it out on the line, and the New York Times does it again. Go big or go home, they always say, and gone large they have. Again: simple, but effective, they went with Sex Infections Found in Quarter of Teenage Girls. They should hold a contest to see if anyone could make a baser headline for a delicate story.
2) If you are looking for something else to waste your time on the intrawebs there is a new video site with full length movies and tv shows on demand. I just went and tooled around, and I have to say I thin this is going to be megasupercool. www.hulu.com
3) I say good job to these women in Japan. When they're father died and left them over 7 billion yen in inheritance, they didn't just go ahead and pay the taxes, nor did they wus out and open a Swiss bank account. No, these crafty women stuffed all the cash (yes, cash) into boxes and hid it in their shed. Apparently they didn't have enough mattresses. Can you imagine how large the shed is to hold 7 billion yen bills? My guess: medium to large.
4) I've seen a lot of tv, and Ive seen a lot of Gilligan's Island, but I never saw the episode where they found the grove of marijuana and became international drug smugglers. Looks like I need the DVD Box Set.
Well, that's about it.; It's like Mr. Awesome said: "Everything would've fell right into place, but he forgot about one thing: About me convincing Steve Wiebe not to be a chump, talking him out of chumpatizing himself."
