Authorities in England now claim horse meat has been discovered in Taco Bell food. I’m calling absolute BS on this story. Come on, horse meat at Taco Bell?, you know as well as I do there’s no real meat in Taco Bell food.
Continuing in England, The Queen was hospitalized this week with a stomach bug. I hear she’s been spending even more time on the throne then usual.
Absolutely amazing news, doctors have completely cured a baby born with HIV. You can’t help but feel excited to live in a time like this. And a little sad too; my biggest accomplishment this week was eating lunch without spilling anything on my shirt…Hats off to those doctors & researchers, and all, who are working to truly making the world a better place!
Playboy magazine is launching a Hebrew-language edition. Somewhere out there Linda Richmand* is feeling a little verklempt after hearing the news.
A woman in Nigeria claims she was pregnant for 25 months before recently giving birth. Ladies, could you even imagine being pregnant that long?, Eeek! At first doctors didn’t believe her, but changed their minds after she gave birth to an Elephant…A little gestation joke for the Zoologists ;-)
Jeff Foxworthy is going to host a TV reality series this summer. Called The American Baking Competition, I’ve already got the network's tagline for the show: “If you’re an Amateur Chef competing in cooking challenges this July, then you just might be on CBS”…Copyright Gilmore!
The Conclave to select a new Pope begins Tuesday. Cardinal Marc Ouellet of Quebec is one of the frontrunners. If chosen, I hope he remembers his Canadian roots when picking his Pope name. My suggestions: Pope Poutine, Pope Back Bacon, or go with one of Canada’s iconic inspiring figures. Pope St. Bob & Doug sounds nice. Or, better yet Pope St. Connors!**
A Lego spill recently shut down a highway in West Virginia. A scary situation, however I hear quick thinking kids built a bridge with it so cars could get through.
A new study says Walmart is the most popular place for people to find love at first sight. Cheap, throwaway, low quality love perhaps. Hey, each to their own, but I’ll find my love at first sight at a locally owned and operated store, thank you very much!…And really, love at first sight at a Walmart, did they do this study with Whales?
And a happy story to wrap up. Having to drop out at age at 13, a 106 year old man recently received his high school diploma. Very cool. I heard he was also valedictorian, but kind of lost the crowd giving his speech; all his talk about the roaring 20s, Flapper girls being the Bees Knees. And his favourite radio personality over 90 years ago, Larry King.

--Oh P.S. *- For the younger crowd Linda Richmand is one of Mike Myers very successful characters he came up with during his time on Saturday Night Live.
By the way if you missed it Justin Timberlake hosted an excellent episode of SNL last night. He also officially joined SNL's “5 Timers Club” as host. My favourite part of last night's show “Donald Duck having a Vietnam Nightmare”-Gold!
P.S.S.-- **-Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard Stompin’ Tom Connors died this week. A true Canadian Icon, many excellent tributes have been passed along the past few days. A few highlights: Jian Ghomeshi had a heartfelt opening on his show “Q” Thursday, click HERE to listen. And, Hockey Night in Canada showed their respects with a fantastic opening montage, one of their best, see it HERE.
