Cocaine Sharks Scarfing Down Drugs off Florida’s Coasts?
Sounds like an article in the NY Post, right? It’s actually from Scientific American!
Other fish ingest cocaine as well. Miami’s hot culinary item is cocaine-laced Ahi Ahi, or as it’s known there, Tony Montuna.
Hey, look what it did for Danny Trejo!
“‘Medical experts’ are sounding the alarm over a new bizarre TikTok trend that has people hitting themselves in the face with hammers in hopes it will make them more attractive.”
Medical experts were needed? Did they have to call in the NIH to figure out that hitting oneself in the face with a hammer might have some negative effects?
“A Maryland man led police on a wild chase from behind the wheel of two different trucks and then a stolen ambulance Saturday afternoon, striking multiple vehicles across three different highways, police said.
The suspect caused a multi-car crash on I-395 in a stolen truck before stealing an ambulance that was responding to the scene. While in the stolen ambulance, he struck at least 13 other vehicles and rammed a state trooper’s cruiser, authorities say.”
The report also has videos of the vehicular rampage
“Ancient pathogens released from melting ice could wreak havoc on the world, new analysis reveals” — Didn’t John Carpenter already cover this?
“Estimates suggest we can expect four sextillion (4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) microorganisms to be released from ice melt each year. This is about the same as the estimated number of stars in the universe.”
“A huge solar storm is on its way to Earth, and it could cause an ‘internet apocalypse.'”
The usual alarmist rhetoric:
“The year 2025 could bring about the end of the Internet as we know it if a massive solar storm causes enough damage to the planet, leaving some experts very worried”
I too can recall when Buddy Holly played a concert in Salt Lake City in 1958 and was so inspired by the Tabernacle that he converted to LDS. The weird thing was that his drummer disappeared during the tour, and the rumor was that Holly ate him.
The real story turned out to be more interesting than I expected. And even more disgusting.
“Ford, the parent company of Lincoln, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are warning owners of nearly 143,000 Lincoln MKC compact SUVs to park them outside and away from buildings and other vehicles because they could potentially catch fire, even when not running.”
Well, I can’t tell you that I’m ready to run a marathon, but I’m more optimistic. Unfortunately, the infection is still in my system so I’ll be having good days and bad until that is solved. I may or may not be posting because although I feel great now, I felt like I might die just three hours ago, and I may feel that way again in three more.
Many thanks for all the kind words and well-wishes you guys wrote.

I learned that there are certain benefits to a forced vacation:
1. I’m an old fart who literally had not taken a day off for something like 9,000 consecutive days. Maybe a rest was due. Preferably not an eternal one.
2. My other obsession besides my websites is my lively career in senior athletics. I don’t know if any of you follow my Facebook page under my real name (you really should not because it is as boring as a Terrence Malick film festival), but if you do, you know that I finally won my personal grand slam last year – a medal in the singles events of all four “racket sports” in the Senior Olympics. Pickleball is considered a racket sport even though no rackets are involved. I guess that’s because it’s basically badminton + tennis + a whiffle ball. Anyway, I play several hours every day, so I chew Ibuprofen like M&Ms, and my legs still ache all the time. My left knee is so painful I can’t walk up the stairs some days. Well, guess what? Turns out that two weeks of doing nothing has completely restored my legs. So I guess that’s a silver lining.
3. Also, it turns out that dyin’ is a great way to lose weight. I’m back to my youthful shape.

Anyway, be sure to keep supporting the guys who bring me traffic:
Popoholic, the complete optimist, my main man. How can you not love him? He never met a woman unworthy of at least four exclamation points! The internet can by a dark road to travel, and that makes his enthusiastic site a refreshing way-station.
Drunken Stepfather, the complete opposite of Popoholic – cynical and sometimes outright mean. I don’t know if I ever agree with his rants, but since he’s obviously writing in a character voice, I’m not sure whether he agrees with his own rants. (He writes several other sites, and they are quite straight. DS is his “bad as I wanna be” project.) Many of you dislike him, but he’s a guilty pleasure for me. Sorry to admit it guys, but he often makes me laugh, and sometimes I even have to admit he has a good point. I’m not sure if you know it, but celebs are only a portion of that site’s raison d’etre. DS truly manages to assemble an uncanny collection of videos for his special themes. Given the time he spends updating his other blogs, he must live on a planet with longer days
When a woman wears a see-thru, Hot Celebs Home does’t run one pic of the event. He’ll have every possible pic. Really a thorough guy.
The Nip-Slip is also into swanky bullshit events, but he digs really deep to find events I’ve never heard of.
I don’t need to tell you what The Booby Blog and The Booty Source are all about. The names kind of give them away.
Celeb Stalker doesn’t make many posts, but the ones he makes are huge – like 900 pics + some vids
Moving the Bills game seems to have been the right move. Get this: ” Orchard Park, where the NFL’s Buffalo Bills play, has picked up 77.0 inches in the last 48 hours”
Sports Update: the Bills will play Sunday – in Detroit!
Weird stuff: Buffalo Channel 4 Weather has confirmed 77 inches in Orchard Park, a southern suburb, but Tonawanda, a northern suburb, has received only three inches! Orchard Park is directly in line with the eastern shore of Lake Erie, while Tonawanda is just far enough north on the Niagara River that it is out of the direct path of the lake effect snow.
“It’s a shot I’ll never get again. It just looks like ‘Sharknado,’ it doesn’t look real.”
And instead of being sexy, she looks creepy AF.
She was one of the world’s great beauties, but she has made some bad choices.
… although it may or may not be a shark. Marine biologists say the dorsal fin is wrong.
Tarpon, maybe? But still, that’s one big backyard fish.
Legends of backyard sharks creep in after every storm, but this is the real deal.
The viral 'shark' video from Fort Myers is real, Storyful has confirmed, but whether it shows a shark or another fish has not been determined 🧵 (1/4)https://t.co/O9HPOU37US

“Astronauts’ blood shows startling DNA mutations after visiting space”
So, a prominent figure who opposed Putin has died. There’s a shocker.
According to his company’s statement, Maganov “passed away following a severe illness.” However, the Russian news agency Interfax reported that he died after falling from a window.
That all makes sense. They didn’t say he died FROM the severe illness, just “following” it. Here’s my theory: the dizziness from the severe illness caused him to lose his balance and fall from the window. That could happen to anyone.
Well, anyone in Russia.
“By 2040, if population trends continue, 70% of Americans will be represented by just 30 senators, and 30% of Americans by 70 senators.”
In contrast to the underepresented majority, the 30% of Americans represented by those 70 senators would be white, rural, and poorly educated.
Even if the remaining 70% could manage to elect a President, it would be meaningless if the opposing party can control the House and 67 senators because, in the worst case scenario, the President and Vice-President could be impeached and convicted almost instantly after their inaugurations, thus making the Speaker of the House the President. (Per the Constitution, the House need not choose a member as its speaker. It could, for example, choose the person who just loss the election for the presidency.)
It is not realistic to expect the House of Representatives to maintain the sanity of the political process, because that body is increasingly filled with extremists from both sides of the spectrum, thanks to the widespread gerrymandering of “safe” districts.
