Ante Meridiem Eye Openers-April 2, 2008CE

1) The other day I watched a show about how D.B. Cooper pulled off [or didn't] his famous hijack. Cooper is famous for never being caught after her hijacked an airplane, received $200,000 and jumped out of the plane over the dense pacific northwest. The FBI thought they might have found one of the parachutes he used, but later dated t to 1945 and made of silk, most likely left over from WWII training. Oh well, but Cooper is still a badass.

2) I have no problem with repeat offenders getting a little earful from a judge who has dealt with them before, but the sheriff was right: This judge should have delivered his message to everyone; shit, he might was well go on tour.

3) Yesterday I reported that LSU made it to their fifth consecutive final four. Well, last night the women's final four was rounded out with Tennessee and UConn. And this is the picture ESPN chose to put on the front page of their website:

Why do they have to look like 3000 year old mummies with their jaw detached? They look like they all spent a weekend running around Crystal Lake.

4) How awesome would it be to own and live in an old lighthouse? I think on a scale of awesomeness from 4.9 to 13.7, I give it an 11.4, behind the Back to the Future trilogy and right in front of Taco Bell staying open until 2am.

Well, that's about it. I leave you with another clip from The Critic. I contend that it holds up more than a decade after it was made. Enjoy:
