On To More Important Things.....

You win some, you lose some. Maybe our elected officials will work together now that 'making sure O'bama is a one term president' is off the agenda.

As for Face Book, politics out.....cat pictures, dog pictures, food pictures in.

There is more than enough news and comment about the election elsewhere. I'm looking at other news today.

"The sky is falling".....Chicken Little

Investigators in Virginia are looking into a report that a piece of uncooked poultry fell from the sky and plunked a teenager on the head. She was horseback riding when the 1-foot piece of processed chicken hit her.

Fortunately she was wearing a helmet and was not injured. 

The Department of Environmental Quality investigation will focus on the possibility the chicken was plucked from an improperly maintained compost pile. A DEQ spokesperson said the chicken parts most likely came from a nearby farm, rather than a chicken plant. 

Officials from a Tyson Foods Inc. processing plant denied that the flying chicken parts originated there. Farmers typically use chicken parts from processing plants for their fields. The investigation will focus on whether the parts are being properly composted.

An avian expert said seagulls probably dropped the chicken parts. Some had speculated vultures were the culprit. "I doubt it would be vultures because they don't typically carry things and they don't regurgitate in the air.....Now that's a relief. Getting plunked by a raw piece of poultry is bad enough, a regurgitated piece would be awful. "We need to get to the bottom of this. We can't have chicken parts falling out of the sky."

.....The part had "Eat More Chikin" printed on it leading some to think this was an advertising scheme gone bad. 

A sports memorabilia auctioneer was indited by a U.S. grand jury for defrauding bidders by altering a rare Honus Wagner baseball card. He did not disclose cuts he made to the side of the card which significantly reduced the value. In April a similar card sold for 1.2 million dollars.

Two other defendants were also named for deceiving prospective bidders. Other items they are accused of auctioning while knowing their condition was misrepresented include a purported 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings trophy baseball and hair from Elvis Presley.

.....Hair? Is it really Elvis hair? And, if so, where is it from? Elvis' pubic hair commands almost three times more than head hair. Back hair, it's a little know fact, Elvis had a lot of back hair, is also more valuable than head hair. The value of Elvis hair is almost as volatile as the stock market said one collector. You need to really know when to buy and sell. Currently I'm looking for head hair from the early 1960's before he switched from Brylcreem to Vitalis. I'm also looking for Michael Jackson used dental floss is anyone has information.

A woman who was about to be released from an Idaho prison will stay behind bars a while longer because federal prosecutors say she mailed a threatening stick figure drawing to a relative. She has been charged with mailing a threatening communication, which is a felony. Prosecutors say the drawing depicted a battered stick figure alongside threatening phrases such as "No tears," ''No hiding," and "No more you." 

An FBI agent who investigated the case, described the drawing in a court document. 

"One stick figure appeared to be lying down with his face smashed. The baseball bat was lying nearby with damage that appeared to be consistent with its use on the first stick figure. The second stick figure appeared to be walking away with a smile."

.....all this fuss. I was just playing Draw Something.
