In case you didn't see this one coming...
"Thirteen years to the day after being acquitted of killing his wife and her friend in Los Angeles, O.J. Simpson was found guilty of robbing [and kidnapping] two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room."
Comment: If you lock up OJ, how will he hunt down his wife's killer(s)? ;-)

Astronaut's diary survives fall to Earth
First here is an excerpt:
"Pages from an Israeli astronaut's diary that survived the explosion of the space shuttle Columbia and a 37-mile fall to earth are going on display this weekend for the first time in Jerusalem. The diary belonged to Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut"
"A little over two months after the shuttle explosion, NASA searchers found 37 pages from Ramon's diary, wet and crumpled, in a field just outside the U.S. town of Palestine, Texas. The diary survived extreme heat in the explosion, extreme atmospheric cold, and then "was attacked by microorganisms and insects" in the field where it fell, said museum curator Yigal Zalmona."
Two Comments:
(1) Don't you think it is interesting that the Israeli astronaut's diary was found in Palestine, TX?
(2) If this diary survived, then why don't they use the same material to protect the space shuttle next time and maybe it will survive better!

Joke: Fly Hunting
A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking
around with a fly-swatter.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Hunting flies" he responded.
"Oh! Killing any?" she asked.
"Yep, 3 males and 2 females" he replied.
Intrigued, she asked "How can you tell?"
"3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone" he responded

15 Important Questions
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why is “bra” singular and “panties” plural?
Why do toasters even bother having a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs!
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it’s outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it’s in your butt?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the window?

Plane Crashes and ID
I'm always horrified to hear of air crash victims so badly mutilated that they have to be identified by their dental records.
What I can't understand is, if they don't know who you are, how do they know who your dentist is?

12 Things the I learned from Watching Movies
Large, loft apartments In New York City are plentiful and affordable, even if the tenants are unemployed.
One of a pair of twins is always Evil.
Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don’t worry about which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
It doesn’t matter if you are greatly outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts. Your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one, dancing around in a threatening manner until you have dispatched their predecessors.
When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible but slightly blue.
Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies using complex machinery involving fused, deadly gasses, laser, buzz saws and hungry sharks, all of which will give their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.
It is easy to land a plane, provided that there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.
The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think to look for you there, and you can travel to any other part of the building without difficulty.
You’re very likely to survive any battle in a war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
A man will show no pain while taking the most horrific beating, but will wince when a woman tried to clean his wounds.
If someone says, “I’ll be right back,” they won’t.
Police departments give their Officers personality tests to make sure each is assigned a partner who is their total opposite
