Friday’s Conversational Stories

Another weekend is upon us and quite frankly I don’t know which news story to begin with: Lybia, Japan or Charlie Sheen. Well, certainly not a guy who’s main claim to fame is being unemployed (some may argue “under-employed”) and a bunch of crazy-person-sounding antics and slogans. No matter, read through the articles, remember my witty comments, and have fun speaking things up this weekend.

- Saturday night brings us the brightest moon in 18 years. The moon is at it’s closest point since 1993 so this full moon should be brighter than other moons. If the sky is clear this will be a great night for a walk, or even hanging out at an outdoor patio (as long as they have those big heaters going). “The best time to look is when the moon is near the horizon,” according to NASA Science News. “That is when illusion mixes with reality to produce a truly stunning view.”

- You need at least $7 million dollars to feel rich, says 4 out of 10 millionaires in recent survey. That certainly ups the ante for how hard I’m going to have to work. Please don’t tell my significant other, she’ll take away my xbox.

- The whoopie pie state fight. This is why politicians get a bad rap, generally they’re wasteful idiots. Besides a couple of food companies, maybe, who really cares what the hometown of the whoopie pie is located, Maine or Pennsylvania? Why can’t we dock the pay of politicians that forward such nonsense? Think of all the time and manpower that goes into this waste. Ugh.

- Mega Millions lottery is going to roll over to more than $240 million, certainly enough to make you feel rich. I treasure my friends and family instead of money and possessions. (Yup, I had to say that to get my xbox back.)

- iPhone app that impersonates police flashing lights leads to man getting charged. Note to self: don’t use flashing light iPhone app to scare off other motorists, they might call the real police.

Have a great weekend!
