A Florida Lice Treatment Center says that selfies could be one of the major causes of
lice with teens.
***I guess lice like to photobomb people's pics.
For decades a 55-year-old woman in China has had appetite for dirt.
Her unusual habit began some 50 years ago when she got a taste while cleaning the family
home.
She estimates she's eaten 5 tons of dirt.
***Even worse, it's Chinese dirt – meaning 20 minutes later you're hungry to eat more
of it.
President Trump now admits there are no tapes of James Comey.
***Meanwhile, Comey confessed that he never DVR'd "The Apprentice."
A book of short stories titled Forty Minutes Late has been returned to a San Francisco
library — 100 years late.
Webb Johnson returned the book Friday.
There was no fine.
Johnson's great grandmother had checked it out in 1917.
She passed away a week before the due date.
Johnson found the 1909 book in an old steamer trunk in 1996.
***So maybe it wasn't Great-Grandma's fault since she died before it was due – but
you found the book in 1996 and are just now returning it – 21 years after you FOUND
it?
A couple from Ecuador claims they have lived without eating food for nine years, saying
they live on just air.
Uh-huh.
Looking for a new dining experience?
In San Francisco, a place called The Dungeon has planned a two-day experimental "Rat Cafe"
for those who feel their coffee or tea is better sipped while rats - supplied by the
local rat rescue - scurry about the room.
Pastries are included for the $49.99 price, but the rats will be removed before the food
comes.
Guests are promised at least 15 minutes of "rat interaction," and the price includes
admission to the dungeon.
You're just in time.
This all goes down July 1 and July 8!
There are rumors circulating around D.C. that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is about
to retire.
***The rumors started when he began showing up each morning wearing a fishing hat.
An associate professor of English at an Ontario university lent her copy of a textbook to
one of her students five years ago and never saw it again.
That is, until she recently ordered a used replacement copy on Amazon ... and her old
copy arrived, complete with her name and the date written in her handwriting on the title
page!
Eugenia Zuroski said, "I was stunned!"
She notes that it's particularly "uncanny" because the book is "about shopping practices
and how consumer markets encourage us to feel closely attached to the things we buy."
***Good thing she was an English teacher and not teaching Ethics – seeing as her student
just stole her book and sold it online.
Japan is in constant conflict over whether to beef up their military.
As of late, increasing concerns about North Korea are fueling the fire even though the
country's constitution requires a low profile military - only for purposes of "self-defense."
However when the country's defense minister recently suggested placing females into combat
roles, a constitutional law professor (Shigeaki Iijima) strongly objected.
It's not the obvious sexism that got people talking, rather it was his reasoning for not
wanting women in combat.
He actually said that Japan's enemies might have bombs capable of blowing women's uniforms
off, thus exposing their bodies.
Don't worry - the laughter and ridicule was swift.
One critic wrote: "I think I saw something like that in Dragon Ball (Z)."
A toddler in Massachusetts survived a two-story fall from a building last Wednesday thanks
to his stuffed animal.
The two-year-old boy of Chelsea was jumping on his bed when a hop sent him out his home
window.
Luckily, the boy was holding a large stuffed cow during the fall.
He landed on the toy, which provided a cushion between him and the concrete sidewalk.
***I had a cow save my life once – I was starving but found a McDonald's just in
time to grab a cheeseburger.
An Algerian man picked a truly horrible way to satisfy his craving for attention and now
will get plenty of attention in prison.
You've probably seen the now infamous photo posted by the unnamed man dangling a baby
out of a 15th-story window of an apartment building in Algiers with the caption "1000
likes or I drop him!"
Social media users quickly denounced the photo, and police charged the man with endangering
the life of a child when they arrested him on Sunday.
The man, who is a cousin of the baby's, swears the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
The boy's father also said he believed the man was just being playful and asked the court
for mercy.
The court responded by sentencing the idiot to two years behind bars.
Maybe you remember the story of 34-year-old Kelly Machin, of Leicester, England.
She had grown weary of her neighbor's kids soccer ball constantly landing in her garden
and when it happened again, punctured the ball before throwing it back.
The mother of the children, Natalie Bollen, and her father, William Jelly, responded by
coming right over and beating Ms. Machin to death!
Well the two murders just found out their fate - they each got just seven years in prison!
Bollen's lawyer said "things had been boiling for a long time" - both women had filed complaints
with police regarding the other - and his client "simply snapped."
He added "the consequences were far beyond anything she could have imagined and is something
she will be eternally ashamed of and will regret forever."
However, the judge said neither Bollen nor Jelly "showed any remorse" for their actions.
He said Bollen boasted about the assault to friends and seemed "almost triumphant" at
Machin's death.
And so you gave them just seven years?
What?
Despite experiencing the hottest June temperatures in more than 40 years, the head teacher at
Isca Academy in Devon, England, told boys shorts were not an acceptable part of the
school uniform.
However, she didn't ban skirts - so guess what happened next?
Yep, dozens of boys at the secondary school turned up in skirts that they had borrowed
from friends or siblings.
One teen described the feeling as a "nice breeze" amid the sweltering temperatures.
One mother whose 14-year-old son attends the school said, "Children also don't like injustice.
The boys see the female teachers in sandals and nice cool skirts and tops while they are
wearing long trousers and shoes and the older boys have to wear blazers."
Boys who wore the school's regulation tartan skirts did not get into trouble - uh, except
for the one who wore his too short.
With the protest now spreading to other schools with shorts bans, Mitchell has said she is
ready to reconsider the school's dress code.
***Congratulations, boys – you stood up like real women and fought for equal rights
for boys!
Girl power!
Ryan Seacrest is still trying to hammer out the final details for him hosting the next
incarnation of "American Idol."
The current sticking point is that Ryan wants Executive Producer credit as part of his compensation.
Lionel Ritchie won't supposedly sign on as a judge until Ryan is secured.
***Wait a minute...
Lionel Ritchie is still alive?
Kim Kardashian was the top bidder at an auction for a wrist watch once owned by Jackie Kennedy.
All it took was $379,000.
***What do you need a watch for, Kimmy?
Do you know what also tells time?
That phone you keep taking selfies with.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard is stepping into a galaxy far, far away for the upcoming
"Star Wars" Han Solo spin-off movie after the surprise departure of its directors.
***Who would've thought that back in 1977 when Star Wars was released in theaters, that
the red-head kid on "Happy Days" which was on television at that same time, would
be directing a prequel to that movie forty years later?
In fact, who knew what a prequel even was was back in 1977?
