The Stuff I Didn't Get To -- 6/6/07


No, the other Yo-yo...


-God weighs in on Giuliani-
From CNN, "When former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was asked to respond to recent comments from a religious leader likening him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who condemned Jesus to be crucified, lightning from outside the debate site briefly cut off his microphone."

From Evangelical Right, "Of course, the far right is comically insinuating that this was some type of Divine intervention. since Rudy is pro-choice. We just think God knows Rudy's a douchebag." (CNN, Evangelical Right)

-What goes down must come up-
Today is National Yo-Yo Day. Seriously. According to the report, "National Yo-Yo Day was established as June 6th in honor of the birthday of Donald F. Duncan Sr." I'm guessing he's of Duncan Yo-Yo fame. I remember reading someplace that yo-yos were originally invented as a weapon to knock prey out of trees. I always thought this was probably not so true, since you could do the same thing with a rock and you don't have to actually make a rock. On the other hand, knocking a bird out of a tree with a yo-yo would be pretty cool and maybe chicks dig it.

-The Crowbar Hilton-
Headline, "Psychiatrist rushes to see Paris" -- Hilton, that is. 35 hours after entering Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban L.A., she needed an emergency visit from her therapist, Charles Sophy. "Hilton had been crying on the phone, complaining that she wasn't able to sleep or eat and that her small cell was 'freezing cold'," according to the report. Also, there was no mint on the pillow. Hilton is serving a 23 day sentence for 'an alcohol-related driving conviction.' McGruff the Crime Dog say's, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." (Sydney Morning Herald)
