Watch Celine Dion and Elvis Presley sing a duet at the American Idol Gives Back show.  Celine appeared to walk out and stand next to Elvis as the two sang “If I Can Dream.”  It was all done with a hologram that was said to have cost between $50,000 and $100,000 to create.  Prior to the performance, Celine practiced with an Elvis impersonator.

Kleenex moment…’Freeway the Fawn’ [video]

When a pregnant deer is fatally injured after being hit by a car, good samaritans try to save the fawn. This segment was taken from Episode 305 which aired on October 15, 1991 on CBS. This particular version of the segment was taken from a 30-minute syndicated episode, so small parts of it may have been cut out to make room for commercials.

Ski jump toilet stalls [photo]

I would love to relieve myself in one of these stalls!  I just can’t afford the trip to Japan.  For a better effect, make sure to see the full screen picture at the source page.  Even better–right click as use it as desktop wallpaper!!!

Just align your feet on the painted skis on the floor and imagine you are barreling down the mountain bare-assed on a rocket full of feces…The only problem is that you will have to book a flight to Japan to enjoy the benefits. These stalls have been built in various ski resort bathrooms there a part of a promotion for Coca-Cola’s Georgia Max Coffee.

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you ’squeeze’ for freshness or softness?  Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are:
Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. *yellow*
So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie, not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)!  The colors go alphabetically by color Blue – Green – Red – White - Yellow , Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in t he grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Pass this information on to friends so they can be informed also! 

McNuggets shortage causes woman to call 911 [audio/photo]

A McNuggets “Emergency”

Floridian called 911 three times over McDonald’s chicken shortage

MARCH 3–Angered that her local McDonald’s was out of Chicken McNuggets, a Florida woman called 911 three times to report the fast food “emergency.” Latreasa Goodman, 27, last Saturday called police to complain that a cashier–citing a McDonald’s all sales are final policy–would not give her a refund. [To listen to Goodman's 911 calls, click here, here, and here.] When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, “This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn’t have McNuggets, I wouldn’t have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don’t want one.” Goodman noted, “I called 911 because I couldn’t get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets,” according to the below Fort Pierce Police Department report. That logic, however, did not keep cops from citing Goodman for misusing the 911 system. Even after being issued a misdemeanor citation, Goodman contended, “this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency.” The McDonald’s devotee is seen at right in a mug shot snapped after a previous encounter with police. Last month, a Florida man was arrested after he called 911 to complain about his displeasure with a Burger King combo meal. (2 pages)

Pop N. Fresh obituary [humor]

Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh died yesterday, at 71. In attendance at the funeral were Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, and the Hostess Twinkies. Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his career was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a smart cookie, having wasted much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for 18 to 20 minutes.

Angels (as explained by children)

Image by Giampaolo Macorig via Flickr

I only know two angels: Hark and Harold. –Gregory, 5

Everybody’s got it all wrong.  Angels don’t wear halos anymore.  I forget why, but scientists are working on it. –Olive, 9

It’s not easy to become an angel!  First, you die.  Then you go to Heaven, and then there’s still the flight training to go through.  And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes. –Matthew, 9

Angels work for God and watch over kids when God has to go do something else. –Mitchell, 7

My guardian angel helps me with math, but he’s not much good for science. –Henry, 8

Angels don’t eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows!!! –Jack, 6

Angels talk all the way while they’re flying you up to heaven.  The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead. –Daniel, 9

When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to ten.  And when he lets out his breath, somewhere there’s a tornado. –Reagan, 10

Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy.  If you lose a tooth, an angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your pillow.  Then when it gets cold, angels go south for the winter. –Sarah, 6

Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who’s a very good carpenter.  –Jared, 8

All angels are girls because they gotta wear dresses and boys didn’t go for it. –Antonio, 9

My angel is my grandma who died last year.  She got a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth. –Chris, 9

Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal sick animals and pets.  And if they don’t make the animals get better, they help the child get over it. –Vicki, 8

What I don’t get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them. –Sarah, 7

Oh, to have the mind of a child!
