Myth Buster?

I just got an email attaching this photo claiming it was shot in Iowa Park. "The guy who shot it is Delbert Eaton IIII and is 6 foot tall and weighs about 220 lbs. He was in a deer stand about 100 feet south of Smith Road and saw the cat pass him downwind carrying a turkey in his mouth He then saw it pass him upwind after dropping the turkey. When the cat passed him again (closer this time) downwind, he knew that it was hunting him. So BOOM!!"

But even the emailer was skeptical. And so am I.

I unleash you, dear readers, to confirm or deny. The truth is out there.

Hmmmm

In 2007, 18 students in Texas scored a perfect 2400 on the SAT exam.

The racial make-up:
11 - Asian
4 - White
2 - Left Blank
1 - "Other"

Edit: And I wonder what the total percentage of test takers were Asian to start with? Makes the 11 perfect scores even more interesting.

Ten-Sion

I'm really not interested in whether Roger Clemens took steroids, but this morning there is some huge tension in Congress where Clemens and his former trainer are testifying and sitting at the same table. (Sidenote: Congress has that much free time?)

Clemens says the trainer never injected him with steroids. The trainer says he did. Somebody's lying. Big time.

And this gem came from the trainer a moment ago: "I told the investigators I injected three people -- two of whom I know confirmed my account. The third is sitting at this table."

Clemen's head might explode right in front of the cameras.

Dude!

There is so much gold in this thing. -There's a little bit of Eric Cartman's: "You will respect my authority!" -There's some Pulp Fiction Samuel L. Jackson: "Say [dude] one more time. I dare ya! I double dare ya!" -And I love the cop himself, "A dude is someone who works on a ranch!!!"

What's Up, Playa?

40-year-old Gary Coleman has revealed to Inside Edition that he's secretly married to 22-year-old Shannon Price.

And Now For Something Completely Different

If Jesus . . .

. . . were a pastor in a Fort Worth church who considered giving the homeless a place to sleep at the facility, tried to minister to sex offenders, and think about allowing gays to have their picture in the church directory, I wonder what would happen?

Uh, these days he'd be the ex-pastor of the Broadway Baptist Church.

That's just funny. I don't care who you are.

I Don't Know What I Think

In Burleson: High school girl ends up pregnant, has the baby, and will graduate with As & Bs. The high school yearbook plans on doing a short story on her. Principal sees the draft and yells foul. Says it glamorizes her position and goes against the school's "abstinence only" policy. School board now involved.

Messenger Update

I know they've been switching servers over at the Messenger, but does everyone, like me, see a very old version of the Update pop up every now and then?

Dan Henry Has Lost His Mind

So I'm sitting around tonight, uninspired by the lack of news, but I do have a remote interest in the weather since I hear there is a chance of storms.

So I check out Fox 4 and see that Dan Henry casually mentioning that we might see gusts up to 70 mph tonight. (See top graphic.) 70? Freakin' 70? Is Hurricane Katrina coming through? Did the number "70" just show up on the screen and you just "read it"?

And then, seconds later, they put up the graphic for "Overnight" "7 AM" and "4 PM" with the maximum winds at 20.

Color me confused.

Monday Afternoon Pick Me Up

Yeah, I saw this over at AnObiter's blog and, unlike her, I'm generally against posting pics of scantily clad women. But this is Britney, and we need to celebrate her being released from the hospital. I found myself going into depression during those very dark days.

Or I could have posted the youtuble clip of Denise Milani at Ticketstock this weekend.

Random Mug Shot

30 Years?

I've casually been following the Collin County trial of this guy who was accused of hiring a hit man to kill his wife. The hired gun, allegedly feeling pangs of guilt, didn't go through with the hit but instead told the wife about the plan. But the crazy part was that the wife testified at trial that she supported her husband and didn't believe he wanted her dead. Which, by the way, is exactly the way I'd want my wife to act if I planned her death. Which I'm not. Because I'm not married. And I wouldn't think about it even if I was. Really.

Anyway, the Collin County jury just slapped him with 30 years in prison. And that's for a failed murder for hire.
