Just A Few Things You Might Have Missed
An amazing anthropological find-
That’s right folks, seems we’ve discovered the first old gay man and his sugardaddied boy-toy.
I’d Say A Transfer To A Nice, Quiet Pasture Is In Order-
PETA was not involved.
The Most Impactful Thing A Canadian Has Done Since Kids In The Hall-
Here’s the best part
I love this guy.
By the way, since when did jobs start outsourcing TO the United States?
If You’re Going To Do Something…
Well that’s all I got, thanks folks, you’ve been a great audience. I’ll be here all week.
LONDON (Reuters) - The preserved remains of two prehistoric men discovered in an Irish bog have revealed a couple of surprises --- one used hair gel and the other stood 6 foot 6 inches high, the tallest Iron Age body discovered.
"The shorter man appeared to attempt to give himself greater stature by a rather curious headdress which was a bit like a Mohican-style with the hair gel, which was a resin imported from France," Kelly told BBC radio.
The fashion-conscious gel wearer has been named Clonycavan Man and Kelly said the fact he was able to buy imported cosmetics suggests he was a wealthy member of Irish society about 2,300 years ago. The other was dubbed Oldcroghan Man.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. - A cow that escaped a slaughterhouse dodged vehicles, ran in front of a train, braved the icy Missouri River and took three tranquilizer darts before being recaptured six hours later.

The Most Impactful Thing A Canadian Has Done Since Kids In The Hall-
TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian credit card holder is putting a new twist on an old trick practiced by disgruntled debtors -- repaying his bill in pennies to maximize the collector's inconvenience.
Unhappy when his Canadian bank began outsourcing some of its credit card processing to the United States, the man lodged his protest via the bank's online payment system, jamming its computers by making dozens of tiny payments a day.
Don Rogers said he was worried that anti-terrorism laws in the United States could allow the U.S. government to access his data without his consent.
"I don't want the CIA or George Bush to know how many cases of Viagra I bought last week, or what church or charities I donate to," he told Reuters.
Here’s the best part
Roger's initial attempt at paying in pennies produced a statement over 32 feet long, according to media reports.
I love this guy.

SELDEN, New York (AP) -- A Florida man arrested Saturday for alleged drunken driving slipped off his handcuffs, slid into the driver's seat of a police car and sped off, police said. He was captured a short time later.
Elflein, of Deltona, Florida, was charged with third-degree grand larceny, resisting arrest, third-degree escape, driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation.

Okay, I have to relate the story of my revenge against AT&T.
Years ago, I dumped AT&T as my long distance service (remember those days when you paid for long distance) because they started charging me a $4.95 per month fee if I didn't make any calls. Imagine, charging me for NOT making calls! I think this was the beginning of their downfall.
Anyway, they sent me a final bill... for 40 cents.
I called them up and asked them if they would just waive the bill since it would cost me 37 cents to mail it. They insisted that I had to pay it, and that they had taken people to court FOR LESS. I discovered that, with the manhours, paper, and mailing, it cost them about $3 to send me that bill.
So, just to be spiteful, I paid the bill. With a check for $1.
Then I called them to make sure they'd be sending me a refund for 60 cents, because I've taken people to court for less.
They did. And I kept the check and never cashed it, just to screw up their accounting.
They spent at least $6 to get that 40 cents from me.

Re the story about the two bog men, they were both in their early 20s when they died and were found 25 miles apart, even though the quote you posted makes it sound like they were found in the same grave that is not the case. The interpretation of two murdered "gay" men doesn't really fly when you read the whole story. Besides one was 6ft 6in and the other was only 5ft 2in, now how would THAT work? It'd be like a Chihuahua boinking a Great Dane.
