NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF

THE YOUNGEST-EVER POWERBALL WINNER USED HIS MILLIONS TO CREATE A BIKINI WRESTLING SHOW:

Whenever someone wins a huge lottery jackpot, I go through two phases. First, I feel crazy jealous. Then, I'm secretly happy when the massive influx of cash inevitably turns their life into a train wreck. --For example, two years ago, 21-year-old Jay Vargas become the youngest-ever Powerball winner, when he landed a $35.3 million payout in Gaston, South Carolina, at the age of 19.

With about $17 million after taxes, he vowed to spend his money wisely, and said, quote, "I just want to be comfortable." He says, quote, "I didn't have the temptation to go out and buy 15 cars or 50 houses, or a big mansion with 50-plus rooms."

So . . . he moved to Florida and launched "Wrestlicious": a bikini-wrestling TV show. He even filmed a pilot episode, hosted by Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart, and is looking for a network to pick up the show.

You can check out some of the action at http://www.wrestlicious.com/ . . . where you can also view the awful promo. It features poor acting, embarrassing singing, and attractive girls wrestling in costumes that aren't bikinis.(Asylum)

A GUY FELL FROM A WATERFALL . . . SO HIS GIRLFRIEND TOOK OFF HER SWIMSUIT TO BANDAGE HIS HEAD, AND CARRIED HIM TO SAFETY:

And now it's time to recognize our JYY Hero of the Day.

22-year-old Shelly Johnson and her boyfriend, 24-year-old Aaron Cole, are college students from Grass Lake, Michigan.

He's a speech pathology grad student at Eastern Michigan University, and she's a nursing student at the University of Michigan. They've been dating for four years.

About a month ago, they were headed to Maine on a vacation when they stopped in New Hampshire to hike to the top of a waterfall. --Aaron slipped on some wet rocks . . . fell 120 feet . . . bashed his head . . . and ended up unconscious and face-down in a pool of water. --When Shelly reached him, she resuscitated him with CPR . . . took off her swimsuit to bandage the gashes on his head . . . and carried him back down the hill that had just taken them 45 minutes to climb.

Keep in mind that Shelly's about 115 pounds, and Aaron weighs about 160 pounds. (!!!). It's true that Shelly was also a state champion hurdler . . . but still.

According to Shelly, quote, "With head injuries, I knew it was important to keep him from going into a coma." So, WHILE she carried Aaron, she cradled him and talked to him, and tried to keep him conscious.

Afterwards, she said, quote, "If all the money in the world was placed on it now, I don't think I could do it again. It was adrenaline and God." --When Shelly and Aaron got to the bottom of the hill, the first two people they ran into were . . . an intensive-care nurse and an emergency-room nurse.

Eventually, Aaron was airlifted to a hospital and treated in intensive care for two days, but he has no permanent brain damage. (The Jackson Citizen Patriot / Mlive.com)

YOU CAN TAKE A COLLEGE COURSE ON STUPIDITY:

There's a new course you can take at Occidental College in Los Angeles. That's the small liberal-arts university with about 1,900 students that BARACK OBAMA went to for a couple years.

The class is called "Critical Theory and Social Justice 180." Or you can call it by its other name: "Stupidity."

Yes, there is a college course now devoted specifically to stupidity. If that sounds kind of stupid, listen to how the class is described by the guy who teaches it, Professor Glenn A. Elmer Griffin:

He prefers to call stupidity, quote, "elective non-comprehension" and "the most powerful determinant of human destiny." --As for the class, he said, quote, "We attempt a rigorous critique of what passes for political reason in the Unites States. We try to understand the force of stupidity . . . in shaping the terms of this discourse."

If this sounds like just another way to bash stupid Americans . . . it's not. Professor Griffin says that stupidity is, quote, "a topic as old as philosophy itself . . . No one who has been to England . . . can imagine that America has a corner on stupidity." --And Professor Griffin doesn't think we're becoming MORE stupid . . . just that we're becoming more AWARE of it. He says, quote, "We are in a position to identify stupidity in its more varied, dynamic, and pervasive forms."

The course looks at philosophy, the novel "A Confederacy of Dunces", the documentary film-maker MICHAEL MOORE, and the movies "Jackass" and "Dude, Where's My Car?". (???) (Times Higher Education)
