Okay, let's get this started:
The first thing that mattered to me in the news today is this: Dominique Strauss-Kahn the head of the IMF is still in jail after being accused for attempted rape. Strauss-Kahn was arrested on Saturday at the Kennedy Airport and taken into custody. There are many speculations about his future considering that he was considered the strongest counter-candidate for the actual president Nicolas Sarkozy, but the general opinion is that after this scandal Sarkozy is going to win the elections once again. Also, many people think that he should step down from his position as the head of the IMF because he in damaging the institutions reputation. It seams that Strauss-Kahn even went as far as forcing the maid who he assaulted to perform oral sex which is a very serious offense and he could even get a sentence of 15 years. As for me I would just cut his weiner off, I think this is the only suitable punishment for people who do such things.
The second thing that mattered to me is that Stephen Hawking is again taking the headlines with the "surprising" affirmation that afterlife is a fairy tale for people who fear the dark. When asked if he fears death he said:
I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first. I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
I'm just not going to comment on this one because everyman has the liberty to think whatever he likes.
The third thing that mattered to me is short but surprising: Don Gorske from Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin is getting ready to eat his 25.000th Big Mac on the 39th anniversary of eating his first. He said that on his first day he ate 9 and he eats 2 everyday and has only missed 9 days since then. One would think that you can't survive such a calorie fest but mister Gorske did and he looks just fine for his 57 years of age. He said that he recently saw a doctor who said he was in good health.
And lastly I want to give you something to delight your ears, the band is called Boyce Avenue and they're great. Here are two of their best songs : Boyce Avenue- Every Breath and Boyce Avenue - Briane (yeah, they're links so click them). They're 3 very talented brothers that make really good music and covers.
Well, until next time be sure to take care of yourself and stay safe.
