There have been no reports recently of
Madonna taking off her clothes.
Maybe she has turned over a new (fig)
leaf.

Lady Gaga may soon give birth to her
own monsters.
She
might be planning a summer wedding to her boyfriend, actor Taylor Kinney, 31.

Only black smoke has come out of the
papal chimney.
I wonder what the cardinals were barbecuing?
(I know…not funny.)
Hugo Chavez is dead.
He shall be remembered for his
description of George W. Bush at the United Nations in 2006:
"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, referring to
Bush, who addressed the world body during its annual meeting. "And it smells of sulfur still
today."
Suicide bombs continue to
explode in two countries---Iraq and Afghanistan---that America invaded and
occupied.
Liberated?
Is Halliburton still making a
killing there?
First Lady Michelle Obama will
be on the cover of Vogue magazine for
the second time this month.
Maybe she will run for President in 2016.
Look out Hillary.

Mars may have supported primitive life (as the
Earth still does):
LOS ANGELES — Drilling into a rock near its landing site, the Curiosity rover has answered a key question about Mars: The red planet long ago harbored some of the ingredients needed for primitive life to thrive.
Topping the list is evidence of water and basic elements that teeny organisms could feed on, scientists said Tuesday.
“We have found a habitable environment that is so benign and supportive of life that probably if this water was around and you had been on the planet, you would have been able to drink it,” said chief scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology.

Just don’t give
this news to any of the life forms living on the dark side of Mars.
Note:
When Mars is
visited there will be plenty of water and dry ice.
But no gas.

And speaking of
gas, a local ROCK & ROLL station reported today that Dustin Hoffman farts a
lot when he’s making movies.
Mr. Hoffman can
still make some very good movies, farts or no farts.
In other news:
A new form of
microbial life has been found in water samples taken from a giant freshwater
lake hidden under kilometers of Antarctic ice, Russian scientists said
Monday.
Sergei Bulat
and Valery Lukin said in a statement that the "unidentified and
unclassified" bacterium has no relation to any of the existing bacterial
types. They acknowledged, however, that extensive research of the microbe that
was sealed under the ice for millions of years will be necessary to prove the
find and determine the bacterium's characteristics.
Is this good or
bad news?
I guess it
depends on what the heck this bacterium is.
Shouldn’t it be kept in quarantine until more is
known about it?
