The World’s Oldest Joke
A Greek girl was praying to Zeus, the king of the gods.  She was trying to understand his eternal nature.
“Zeus,” she asked, “what’s a million years to you?”
“A million years is like a second to me,” Zeus explained.
“And a million dollars?”
“A million dollars is like a penny to me,” Zeus replied.
The girl felt daring, and she asked, “Zeus, would you give me one of your pennies?”
“Sure,” Zeus replied.  “Just a second.”

The Most Ticklish Spot on the Body
Scottish scientists have figured out the most ticklish spot on the body.  It doesn’t matter if a person is right-or-left footed, a small area in the middle of the right foot is the most ticklish spot for most people.  BTW, right-handed people are more ticklish than left-handed people.

Physician sued for making “lipo-diesel” from patients’ fat [news]

Craig Alan Bittner apparently created “lipo-diesel” from his patient’s fat and used it to fuel his Ford SUV and his girlfriend’s Lincoln Navigator.

An attorney for three of the patients suing Bittner says his assistant and girlfriend removed more fat than necessary — presumably to use it for making the fuel — and that the patients were disfigured because of it. Neither his girlfriend nor the assistant had medical licenses.

Bittner’s practice, Beverly Hills Liposculpture, closed in November. It’s unclear when he started and stopped making his “lipo-diesel” or how he made it.
