Friday’s Conversation Topics

It’s today that the weekly roundup of the best news stories to talk about appear here. You will want to read my comments, then the news story, and move on to the next. There isn’t a test but this is practice for real life so you have a few interesting things to say tonight and this weekend. Current events make a person interesting and interesting people get names, phone numbers and email addresses, then a date. Read on McDuff!

And remember: today is “Proud To Be Me Day”!

- Do you think you’re safe visiting a porn site? Yeah, I know, the obvious answer is “You’re not safe visiting a porn site” and, of course, you’d be right. Some guy’s just have to learn the lesson the hard way. Good thing the Feds are on the case.

- Remote controlled mice. The hell with the ethics of it all, if we can fit a wire in it, let’s make it remote controlled. there has to be a lesson about keeping control of teens in here somewhere.

- Gun-toting Santa draws fire. Yes, I couldn’t resist saying that, but what the hell, it’s Christmas. And I think that if people want to have Santa wearing a gun, or eating M&M’s or a slice of pizza, well let them. We do know all about the real Santa Claus, don’t we? Why do you think NORAD tracks him every year, for the fun of it? Geesh.

- 50 year old man get’s appointment for pregnancy ultrasound to check health of his twin fetuses. Even as I’m writing this I’m wondering why I didn’t think this up, it’s be a great practical joke if it wasn’t for the fact that this is a true story, complete with photo of “pregnant” papa and letter from hospital for ultrasound.

- How to get paid doing nothing. Forbes.com has some of the best articles and I know that I’ve now learned a trick or two. Look out work-horses, you’re load is about to get a lot heavier! There’s pictures too!

Have a great weekend!
