Meanwhile, this is going on in Japan...

The Japanese take their rock,paper,scissor games VERY seriously

Animals teach us a thing or two about being GAY

The birds and the bees may be gay, according to the world's first museum exhibition about homosexuality among animals.

With documentation of gay or lesbian behavior among giraffes, penguins, parrots, beetles, whales and dozens of other creatures, the Oslo Natural History Museum concludes human homosexuality cannot be viewed as "unnatural". "We may have opinions on a lot of things, but one thing is clear -- homosexuality is found throughout the animal kingdom, it is not against nature," an exhibit statement said.





Geir Soeli, the project leader of the exhibition entitled "Against Nature", told Reuters: "Homosexuality has been observed for more than 1,500 animal species, and is well documented for 500 of them." The museum said the exhibition, opening on Thursday despite condemnation from some Christians, was the first in the world on the subject. Soeli said a Dutch zoo had once organised tours to view homosexual couples among the animals."The sexual urge is strong in all animals. ... It's a part of life, it's fun to have sex," Soeli said of the reasons for homosexuality or bisexuality among animals.

• First of all, this is fucking AWESOME! Looks like the animals have got it figured out more than we do, and they're not FREAKING out about it!
  

• Secondly, I wish more humans would think that "it's fun to have sex." More than ever, I feel like people are replacing sex with food, tv, their fucking cars, and their dumbass days at the spa. SEX is FUN people! Why don't we revisit it?!

Mr. T gets warm and fuzzy

After disappearing from public view about a decade ago, Mr. T, known for his roles in television's "The A-Team" and a boxer in the movie "Rocky III," is back, and he's looking for sad saps to save and give some tough love to. He's the star of a new reality TV show starting this week called "I Pity the Fool" on the TV Land cable network. In the show he storms into struggling businesses and families to give guidance on everything from business to love.

"It is my job to motivate them," Mr. T told Reuters in an interview. It is all about doing positive things."

I'm sure his nuggets of wisdom will be priceless.

"TERRORIST" WAS A YANKEE PITCHER

Yesterday, I got a call from numerous people in other parts of the country to make sure that the building I work in wasn't the one that got hit by a small airplane yesterday here in Manhattan.

The whole debacle yesterday was ridiculous - everyone was pointing to terrorism, when it seemed so obvious to me that it was just an accident (albeit, a sad one, for the Yankee's pitcher, Cory Lidle, whose plane just unfortunately swerved out of his control). Even my co-worker rushed into my cube shouting, "Did you here that a terrorist crashed an airplane into a building just now???!!" without even knowing the facts. This is how it starts people. We've been absolutely brainwashed by fear.

People are so revved up and juiced up with fear, they can't fucking think straight, and the first thing that comes to their mind is that the terrorists are out to get us. How 'bout this—–WHY the fuck would a terrorist fly a plane into a random condo building on the upper east side?? To buy an apartment? To make the real estate prices in the Upper East Side even cheaper than they are now? It's not like planes haven't crashed into buildings in NYC before!! In 1945, an army corps plane accidentally crashed into THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, for chris' sake!

I realized yesterday, after speaking with several people, that this country has really gone to the shitter. Everybody's so charged up, on edge, and ready to fucking burst at any moment. It makes me feel like President Bush, who's into the business of selling fear, has made quite a profit off of injecting people with a paralyzing terror—terror to live, terror to breathe. It's gotten out of hand.

Also, you'd think Manhattan would have regulations about how close airplanes can fly around the island. Guess what? They don't. Wouldn't you say that if the threat of terrorism was actually real, that we would have those regulations put into place?

Give it to 'em BABS!

No, this is not a drag queen. It's the real Babs.



Barbra Streisand was forced to shut up a heckler at her celebrity-packed New York City gig on Monday night, when the man took exception to her onstage digs at President George W. Bush. Babs, a staunch Democrat and is still appalled that Bush was elected to the most powerful position in the world, despite doubts over the crucial result in Florida in 2000. And Streisand's gigs on her current US tour feature a political satire sketch where an actor playing the Republican president reels off lines including, "I'm concerned about the national debt, so I'm selling Canada," and, "If I cared about the polls I would have run for president of Poland." At Monday's Madison Square Garden gig, some members of the 20,000 audience wanted Streisand to leave politics aside and just sing her songs. Babs first pleaded with the hecklers, "Come on, be polite!" But one heckler then shouted, "What is this? A fundraiser?" An irritated Streisand reportedly immediately retorted, to applause, "Why don't you shut the fuck up! If you can't take a joke, why don't you leave and get your money back." The man then walked out of the concert—Later asshole!

Can't stand hearing about Loser Lohan anymore!

Recently, Lindsay Lohan, jumped onstage to sing a karaoke version of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" with deejay pal Samantha Ronson at West Hollywood bar Guy's. "Give it up up for LL!," Ronson shouted. Earlier, the good times weren't flowing when an intoxicated clubgoer walked backwards into the actress and knocked her phone out of her hands (and then fell into Lohan's table). She asked the bar owner to throw the patron out and got her wish.

Two things: First, was Lindsay even born yet when the underrated Steve Perry came out with "Don't Stop Believin'"?? And secondly, can we make it a rule to kick Lindsay out of a club the next time she drunkenly stumbles over club patrons—which is ALWAYS!

Tom Cracks the WHIP!

Tom Cruise has hired a team of babysitters for his fiancee Katie Holmes so she has time to get in shape for their "wedding ceremony." (a.k.a. final initiation into level 100 of Scientology). According to gossip website Tmz.com, Tom is reportedly "very concerned" that Katie (sorry, Kate!) loses the weight she gained while pregnant before their big day, which is set to take place in early November. To ensure Holmes looks perfect when she walks down the aisle, Cruise has joined her on the grueling training sessions - and has drafted an "army" of babysitters (which probably include John Travolta, Kelly Preston. or any other thetan robot of the kind) to look after their baby daughter Suri so they can exercise without any interruptions.


What a freakin' LOON!
