NO PEEIN' IN THE POOL!

ONE IN FIVE AMERICANS ADMIT THAT THEY PEE IN THE POOL???

Here's something to think about as summer pool-season approaches . . .

According to a survey conducted by the Water Quality and Health Council, one in five Americans admit that they PEE . . . in the swimming pool. (--Which means that precisely four out of five Americans are LYING.)

The survey also found that 47% of people admit to doing something that contributes to an unhealthy pool, including:

--16% don't maintain the chlorine levels in their pool.
--35% don't shower before swimming.
--And 77% don't worry about how often they clean their pool or treat the water.(Livescience.com)

(--That means that even if YOU are keeping it clean in the pool . . . chances are, the person swimming next to you is doing something disgusting. Enjoy your swim!)

WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ARTISTIC PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS:

Do you ever get the feeling that some people have way too much time on their hands? Here are 2 examples of what I mean . . .

#1.) 55-year-old Neil Cuadra of Los Angeles, California, has been a fan of "MAD" magazine for the last 40 years. So, to show just how big a fan he is, Neil collected 2,000 of those old CDs and DVDs that AOL used to send out offering 500 free hours of Internet usage . . . and used them to create a giant portrait of "MAD" magazine's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman. (Yahoo News)

(--Take a look . . .)

====================================================================

#2.) A guy named Brian Dettmer collected a bunch of old cassette tapes and . . . to show just how DEAD the technology is . . . he used them to construct a human skeleton, which is now on display at the International Museum of Surgical Science. (Uber Review)

(--Take a look at this cassette-tape skeleton . . .)

AN ORANGUTAN AND A DOG HAVE BECOME BEST FRIENDS AT AN ANIMAL SANCTUARY IN SOUTH CAROLINA:

Two years ago, a Blue Tick hound named Roscoe followed staff members back to an animal sanctuary called The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. And that's where Roscoe struck of a friendship with an orangutan named Suryia.

Now, Roscoe and Suryia are such good friends . . . that Suryia even takes Roscoe out for walks. (Daily Mail)

On Tuesday, 48-year-old Neil McCallum of eastern Australia was at the beach with his 15-year-old son, Jazz, when they spotted a kangaroo out in the ocean . . . that was caught in a riptide.

So Neil grabbed his surfboard, waded out . . . and rescued the kangaroo from drowning. (Courier Mail)

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR THE OUT OF WORK

SHOW HIM YOU CARE

HERE ARE FIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SHOW YOUR GUY YOU CARE:

Ladies . . . as I'm sure you've noticed, the average man has the communication skills of a mute gorilla. In other words, he's not going to give you regular updates to let you know when he's happy or sad.

Anyway, if you're worried your guy is in a funk . . here are five simple things you can do to cheer him up and show him you care.

#1.) Touch his arm: Actually, touch him ANYWHERE. Guys love that.

#2.) Send him a random text in the middle of the day: Let's face it . . . most guys hate their job. But a random, flirty text message in the middle of the day just might give your guy the motivation he needs . . . to make it until five o'clock.

#3.) Ask him questions about stuff he's an expert on: Guys love to show off. If you give your guy the chance to show just how cool and knowledgeable he is . . . he'll love you forever.

#4.) Give him an extremely specific compliment: It's nice to hear that you're funny or smart . . . but those are pretty general compliments. And if it's true . . . he probably already knows it. But if you really want to impress your guy, give him a small, specific compliment . . . like how manly his arms are, or how much you like the sound of his laugh.

#5.) Show him the journal entry you wrote about him after your first date: You know, assuming you have one . . . and that the review is positive. But even if you don't have one . . . or it's not particularly glowing . . . you can write a new one now. (Yahoo Personals)

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE

THERE COULD BE A SEQUEL TO "MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS"!!!

"Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" . . . my new favorite movie even though I haven't seen it yet . . . doesn't even hit DVD until Tuesday. And yet, there's already talk of a SEQUEL!!!

Actually, that talk is pretty premature. But DEBORAH "DON'T CALL ME DEBBIE" GIBSON says it's possible!!! She says, "I haven't seen the final edit, but we did do a version that leaves the door open for a potential sequel. "who knows what else is in the ocean. I thought maybe a seahorse? Maybe a 500-foot lobster would be good. But yes, there is the potential for a sequel, and I would absolutely love it."

Not surprisingly, Deborah is PSYCHED about all the attention that "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" has been getting. She says, "I am shocked. I was looking at the video numbers, and the trailer has been watched hundreds of thousands of times."

(--And, because it's such a gorgeous piece of film, let's ALL watch that trailer again, shall we?)

I'M NOT EATING THERE

A CUSTOMER FOUND TWO BABY MICE IN THE STIR FRY AT A RESTAURANT IN CANADA:

Earlier this week, a restaurant in Winnipeg, Canada . . . called the Sizzling Wok . . . was forced to temporarily shut down after a customer found TWO BABY MICE in their stir fry.

On Monday, Canada's Health Inspection conducted an investigation of the Sizzling Wok and . . . after finding no evidence of a rodent infestation . . . the restaurant was allowed to reopen. (CTV - Winnipeg)

IS THIS YOU?

***SEVEN TOPICS THAT MAKE YOU SEEM BORING***

Sometimes people find a topic so interesting . . . they forget that it's NOT interesting to anyone else. Here are seven boring topics you should avoid, since each one leaves the listener with NOTHING to add . . .

#1.) A DREAM. When you talk about a dream, YOU might think it's profound and interesting . . . but to other people, you're just recalling a bunch of things that didn't actually happen.

#2.) THE RECENT CHANGES IN YOUR CHILD'S NAP SCHEDULE. Unless you're talking to a child psychologist, or someone with a kid that's the same age as yours, this subject is snooze city.

#3.) THE ROUTE YOU TOOK TO GET THERE. If you start talking about all the right and left turns you made to get to the restaurant or the movie theater, you might need to read up on the art of conversation.

#4.) A GREAT MEAL YOU ONCE HAD. Unless you ate it yesterday or happen to be sitting in the SAME restaurant that served the outstanding dish, don't bring it up. Describing how great something tasted seven years ago is outrageously boring.

#5.) THE LATEST ADDITIONS TO YOUR WINE CELLAR. It makes you sound boring, and it also makes you sound stuck-up. If you start talking about your wine collection, get ready for eyes to start glazing over.

#6.) AN ACCOUNT OF YOUR LAST TENNIS GAME. You aren't Andre Agassi, and everyone knows it. Once you win the U.S. Open, feel free to talk tennis as much as you want. But until then, don't.

#7.) THE PLOT OF A MOVIE, PLAY, OR BOOK. Recalling a specific quote or scene is fine as long as the other person is familiar with it. But don't give them a play-by-play account of the whole thing. --If you do, your retelling will be hard to follow, it won't do it any justice, and might even turn your friend off of it for good. (Yahoo.com)

TOM IS STILL BIG

TOM REMEMBERS, DO YOU?

TOM HANKS still remembers the rap he performed in the 1988 comedy "Big". Here he is doing it on some British talk show . . .

(--"Big" Trivia: It was actually a rhyme that Tom's son learned in SUMMER CAMP.)

LADY GAGA HAS TALENT

LADY GAGA SAYS YOU WILL *NEVER* HEAR HER LIP-SYNCHING:

Whether you like it or not, LIP-SYNCING is fairly prevalent in pop music these days. Some artists only do it during LIVE TV broadcasts . . . some do it for ALL TV performances . . . and some even do it on their own tours. (--Britney and Madonna come to mind.)

But one pop singer is guaranteeing that she will NEVER lip-synch: LADY GAGA. She says, "I would never even think about [lip-synching]. The whole point to me is, if you're gonna be number one, you better really be (effing) number one. "If you're gonna be on top, you better be able to do all those things, because it's a real privilege to be able to make music everyday, and I get away with a lot.

"ANDY WARHOL says art is what you can get away with, and I get away with a lot with my music and my clothes . . . and I work really hard so I could truly be a real artist for all my fans. That's really (effed) up when you lip-synch." (--Amen!)

OLD FLAMES FOUND ON FACEBOOK

COULD FACEBOOK RUIN YOUR MARRIAGE???

Have you ever "friended" an ex on Facebook? The reason I ask is because according to a marriage and family therapist in Oklahoma named Tara Fritsch, TWO in every FIVE couples that come to see her for counseling are having some sort of marital problem . . . that stems from Facebook.

Tara says, "[With] about 40% of the couples coming in, there's a link to Facebook or MySpace that has caused a breach in their marriage. "An ex-love, an old flame, there's nostalgia there. There's memory of the simple days or maybe excitement of new romance. "When things start being said [on Facebook] that you don't want your spouse to see, things that you might hide, things that you might not be comfortable saying in person or having your spouse hear, then it's taken that step across a boundary." (KOCO News 5 - Oklahoma City)

(--So, again, I ask: Have you ever "friended" an ex on Facebook? And, if so, are you worried about the effect it could have on your marriage? Because, it seems, maybe you should be. Or not. What do I know?)

FREE TIME.. WHAT'S THAT??

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM . . . "WEISURE TIME"???

I just heard a new term which I'd like to share with you . . . "weisure time".

So what exactly is "weisure time"? Basically, "weisure" is a combination of the words "work" and "leisure", and it refers to people who use iPhones, BlackBerrys and other forms of technology to stay in touch with business colleagues . . . while spending time with their family and friends. For example, if you're responding to work emails on your BlackBerry while watching your kid's soccer game . . . that's "weisure time".

Anyway, a sociologist from New York University named Dalton Conley coined the term. He says, "Increasingly, it's not clear what constitutes work and what constitutes fun, [be it] in an office or at home or out in the street . . . "All of these worlds that were once very distinct are now blurring together."

Or look at it this way. A lot of people don't have separate work and home lives anymore, and the time they spend multitasking . . . or focusing on BOTH work and home-life activities . . . is called "weisure time". (CNN)

MONEY MATTERS

THE SOCIAL SECURITY FUND WILL BE TAPPED OUT . . . BY 2037:

Just when you thought the economic outlook couldn't possibly get any bleaker . . . we get THIS news . . .

Yesterday, the federal government announced that Social Security will start paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes . . . in the year 2016.

That's ONE year earlier than officials predicted just last year. At that rate, the Social Security fund will be completely depleted . . . by the year 2037. That's FOUR years earlier than predicted.

And Medicare . . . which was already paying out more than it collects in taxes A YEAR AGO . . . is in even worse shape. According to officials, the Medicare fund will be completely depleted by the year 2017 . . . which is TWO years earlier than previously predicted. (KPIX News 5 - Bay Area)

-So you know, on Monday, major health care providers promised to cut costs by $2 TRILLION over the next decade, which sounds easy enough . . . if you don't know how much a trillion dollars truly is.

Here's some perspective . . .

--One trillion is the number "one" followed by 12 zeroes . . . as in 1,000,000,000,000.

--If you counted at a rate of one number per second, it would take you 31,546 YEARS to reach one trillion.

-- If you placed $100 bills side-by-side, you could circle the equator nearly 39 TIMES before you reached $1 TRILLION.

--If you spent $1 MILLION every day since Jesus was born, you STILL wouldn't have spent $1 TRILLION.

--And you can take a look at a visual representation of $1 TRILLION here . . http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html

ROBOT HALL OF FAME

THISS YEAR'S INDUCTEES INTO THE ROBOT HALL OF FAME INCLUDE . . . THE TERMINATOR???

I'll bet you didn't even know there was such a thing as the Robot Hall of Fame. But there is. --And this year, the Robot Hall of Fame inducted five new robots . . . both real and fictional . . . into its exclusive club, including:

#1.) The Da Vinci Surgical System . . . which is a robot that translates a surgeon's movements in order to make surgical procedures . . . such as heart valve replacement . . . as minimally invasive as possible.

#2.) The Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.

#3.) The Roomba . . . which is one of those weird little vacuum cleaners.

#4.) The T-800 Terminator from the "Terminator" movies.

#5.) Huey, Dewey and Louie . . . which were a trio of gardening robots in the 1972 sci-fi movie "Silent Running". (New Scientist)

QUOTE ME

HERE'S A LIST OF THE TEN MOST COMMONLY MISQUOTED MOVIE LINES:

I have a friend who's always MISQUOTING famous movie lines . . . and I'm willing to bet you do too.

With that in mind, here's a list of the ten most commonly misquoted movie lines of all time . . . according to a website called LoveFilm.com.

#10.) "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?" (Benjamin Braddock in "The Graduate")
--The ACTUAL line is: "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?"

#9.) "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." (Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz")
--The ACTUAL line is: "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

#8.) "If you build it, they will come." (Ray Kinsella in "Field of Dreams")
--The ACTUAL line is: "If you build it, he will come."

#7.) "Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn." (Rhett Butler in "Gone With the Wind")
--The ACTUAL line is: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

#6.) "Beam me up, Scotty!" (James T. Kirk in "Star Trek")
--The ACTUAL line is: "Scotty, beam me up!"

#5.) "Hello, Clarice." (Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs")
--The ACTUAL line is: "Good evening, Clarice."

#4.) "Play it again, Sam." ("Casablanca") (--This one's a bit of a mystery. The closest line HUMPHREY BOGART has is, "You played it for her, you can play it for me. Play it!" And INGRID BERGMAN says, "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'.")

#3.) "Do you feel lucky, punk?" (Dirty Harry in "Dirty Harry")
--The ACTUAL line is: "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

#2.) "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" (The Queen in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs")
--The ACTUAL line is: "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"

#1.) "Luke, I am your father." (Darth Vader in "The Empire Strikes Back") --The ACTUAL line is: "No, I am your father." (Guardian)

POLITICAL NONSENSE

FOR EVERY DOLLAR THE GOVERNMENT SPENDS THIS YEAR . . . IT WILL HAVE TO BORROW 46 CENTS:

I'm not exactly an economic whiz. But if I was, I imagine THIS would have me scared out of my mind . . .

On Monday, the White House's Office of Management and Budget announced they'll be adding another $89 BILLION to this year's federal deficit. Overall, that brings this year's annual budget deficit to . . . get this . . . $1.84 TRILLION.

If you're keeping track, that's FOUR TIMES higher than last year's deficit of $455 BILLION . . . which was itself an all-time high. And it's about $90 BILLION higher than the $1.75 BILLION federal deficit PRESIDENT OBAMA predicted when he took office in February.

Or look at it this way: For every dollar the federal government spends this year . . . it will have to borrow 46 CENTS. And get this . . . This year's $1.84 TRILLION deficit is equal to 12.9% of the U.S.'s Gross Domestic Product. That's the highest it's been since World War Two . . . and is more than THREE TIMES the average deficits of the past 30 years. (Yahoo Finance / Los Angeles Times)

EAVESDROPPING CO-WORKERS

THERE'S A NEW SOUND-MASKING DEVICE THAT PREVENTS YOUR CO-WORKERS FROM EAVESDROPPING ON YOUR CONVERSATIONS:

If you've got a nosy co-worker who's always eavesdropping on your conversations . . . then I've got great news for you.

Last month, two engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology applied for a patent on a new sound-masking device which uses a system of speakers, infrared motion detectors and microphones . . . to drown out the sound of your conversation.

Now, as it turns out, the science that goes into the system is actually pretty complex. But the gist is that when you want to have a private conversation, you can activate the device, and it'll direct a so-called "sound shield" of confusing white noise and random babble at anyone within earshot . . . making your conversation completely unintelligible. (New Scientist)

(--So you know, there are already two other products on the market that perform this function . . . but the developers of this new sound-masking system swear their product is better. You can take a look at the other sound-masking systems here . . .)

HOW TO EAT MORE FRUITS & VEGGIES

***FIVE EASY WAYS TO EAT ENOUGH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY***

Obesity, diabetes, and cancer are on the rise, and it's partly because fewer than one-third of adults in the U.S. eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables each day.

So here are five EASY ways to make sure you do . . .

#1.) DRINK SMOOTHIES. It's an easy way to boost your fruit intake. Just make sure they're all-natural with no sugar added. If you're making your own, blend two kiwis, two bananas, a handful of grapes, some strawberries, and one cup of apple or orange juice.

#2.) SNACK ON VEGETABLES. They're just as filling as unhealthy alternatives, and they'll help you avoid the drop in energy that comes after eating a high-sugar snack.

#3.) ADD FRUIT TO YOUR BREAKFAST. If you have cereal or yogurt in the morning, sprinkle a handful of fruit on top. A chopped banana will give you an energy boost, and berries are packed with nutrients and antioxidants.

#4.) DOUBLE UP ON SERVINGS. Many people put far fewer vegetables on their plate than the standard portion size of 80 grams. So at lunch and dinner, eat twice as many vegetables as you think you should.

-If you eat MORE vegetables, you'll eat LESS of everything else, which can help you stay healthy AND lose weight.

#5.) DON'T SHY AWAY FROM FROZEN FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. Contrary to popular belief, they retain nutrients just as well as fresh fruits and veggies do. Plus, they're easy to prepare and cost a lot less. (AskMen.com)

POLITICAL NONSENSE

FOLLOW-UP: THE WHITE HOUSE RELEASED THE PHOTO OF AIR FORCE ONE . . . TAKEN DURING THE FLYOVER SCARE IN NEW YORK LAST MONTH:

Remember the whole Air Force One photo-op debacle last month? (--If you don't know what I'm talking about, last month, the White House Military Office decided to take some photos of Air Force One flying over Manhattan. But they kept the photo-op a secret, and residents of New York freaked out when they saw an airplane . . . followed by two F-16 fighter jets . . . flying low over the city, and thought we were under attack by terrorists.)

Anyway, on Friday the White House released its official photo of Air Force One . . . which was taken during the flyover. And that same day, the guy who authorized the photo-op . . . Louis Caldera, who's the director of the White House Military Office . . . resigned from his job.

In his resignation letter to PRESIDENT OBAMA, Caldera wrote that the controversy surrounding the picture has made it impossible for him to do his job and, "has become a distraction in the important work you are doing as president."

Overall, the photo of Air Force One cost taxpayers $328,000. (CBS News 2 - New York)

HOW BIZARRE NEWS (05/11/09)

A WOMAN'S LIFE WAS SAVED . . . BY HER WASHBOARD ABS???

Last month, 47-year-old Peggy Williams of Clapton, England was doing some paragliding while on vacation in Spain, when the wind suddenly shifted . . . and slammed her body into the ground 20 feet below.

Peggy was dragged across the sharp rocks . . . which ripped into her abdomen . . . tore her liver and almost completely severed her pancreas. But listen to this . . . According to her doctors, Peggy's accident probably should have been fatal. But it wasn't . . . because Peggy's ROCK-HARD ABS acted like a girdle and protected her organs.

Peggy says, quote, "I was dragged for what seemed like an eternity over the rocks, tearing my stomach in the process. I was only told later that it was my washboard stomach that saved my life . . . "I do 15 sit-ups and 30 bicycle sit-ups, or lateral crunches, every day. It's just a one-minute regime." (Daily Telegraph)

MILE HIGH MARRIAGE CLUB?

Couples could soon tie the knot in mid-air after an airline asked for pilots to be allowed to marry passengers. Budget airline easyJet has asked Luton Borough Council if pilots could be authorised to officiate weddings in the air. The council is responsible for registration in the area where easyJet's London Luton Airport headquarters lie.

Paul Simmons, easyJet's UK regional general manager, said: "We're excited about these plans. If there is the opportunity, our pilots could soon be marrying couples in the air. "If our request is replied positively, then so called 'floating on cloud nine' would get a new meaning for people in love - and we can offer another special service to our passengers."

He said that if plans were given the go-ahead they would be able to tie in ceremonies at 30,000ft with taking couples to their dream honeymoon destination. EasyJet captain Jeffery Husson added: "To officiate a wedding is a special honour for me. It would be exciting if I could marry couples above the clouds."

But a spokesman for Luton Borough Council said although the airline had made early enquiries, no decision could be made until it received full details of easyJet's proposals. A spokesman said: "We have only just received a letter from easyJet and will be responding in due course."

THINGS MOM WON'T TELL YA

***FOUR THINGS A GUY'S MOM WON'T ADMIT***

Yesterday was Mother's Day, when men everywhere send flowers and chocolate to make up for neglecting Mom the rest of the year. Pretty soon, most Moms will go back to complaining. But if she's just nosey and judgmental, then, guess what . . . she's normal.

--Yet, no matter how much she complains, she might STILL be hiding her true feelings. Here are four things a guy's mom is thinking but won't say to him OR his significant other . . .

#1.) "I WANT GRANDKIDS, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT READY." From the moment a man leaves home, his mother sits in her empty nest, stewing. She probably has a box of old baby clothes in the attic and can't wait to play dress up with YOUR baby.

#2.) "IF YOU LEAVE ME ALONE IN YOUR HOUSE, I'LL SNOOP." Bedrooms might be off limits, but the kitchen is fair game. A man's girlfriend or wife shouldn't stock the fridge with frozen dinners unless they're prepared to be judged.

#3.) "I WORRY ABOUT YOUR SEX LIFE." She may not want to hear all the details, but she DOES care about her son's happiness, and she knows that good sex is an important part of a lasting relationship, which is ultimately what she wants him to have.

#4.) "I KNOW I'M NOT THE CENTER OF HIS UNIVERSE ANYMORE." When a boy becomes a man, his priorities shift, and Mom moves down the totem pole. She's aware, just don't rub her face in it. Deep down, she knows her little boy is gone for good. (YourTango.com)
