Miley Cyrus Gets Tattoo of Her Deceased Dog on Her Rib Cage

Miley Cyrus Gets Tattoo of Her Deceased Dog on Her Rib Cage:  Pop star Miley Cyrus took to Instagram to showcase the new tattoo she got on her rib cage in loving memory of her deceased dog Floyd.  Guess we don’t have to ask where she’ll be getting a tattoo if her pet donkey dies. 

Adults Without Landlines More Likely to Become Heavy Smokers and Drinkers:  A new study found that adults in the US without landlines are more likely to be smokers and heavy drinkers.  A related study found that people are more likely to want to drink heavily after they read about studies like this.

Pelagornis Declared Largest Bird to Ever Fly:  A giant, winged fossil discovered near the Charleston airport has been declared a new species and just may be the largest flying bird to ever live with a wingspan of 24 feet.  Scientists say these birds were so large, the Flintstones would have most likely used them as airliners.

Danish Study Outlines Dangers of Having Thin Thighs:  A new Danish study found that having thin thighs may raise the risk of premature death and heart disease.  And my guess is that anyone who eats enough Danishes has very little to worry about.

Convicted Killer Joran van der Sloot Gets Married in Prison:  Joran van der Sloot, who was convicted of killing a Peruvian woman and is considered by many people to also be responsible for the death of Natalee Holloway, has gotten married to a woman he met and impregnated while serving life in prison in Peru.  If I were her, I’d be a wee bit leery about that “till death do us part” portion of the ceremony. 

World’s Earliest Erotic Graffiti Art Found on Greek Island:  A specialist in prehistoric archaeology has found what is believed to be the world’s earliest erotic graffiti art - racy inscriptions and large phalluses carved into a rock on the Greek island of Astypalaia.  He presumably found the carving somewhere between a rock and a hard place.  So now we know how the ancient Greeks got their rocks off.  Researchers say that the writing accompanying the drawings loosely translates into “for a good time, see Alethea over in cave 2B.”

Taliban Cutting Hair and Beards Fleeing Pakistan Army Assault:  Its being reported that hundreds of Taliban fighters are lining up to get haircuts and their beards cut to disguise themselves in an effort to flee a Pakistani army assault.  So that explains why I had to wait so long at Supercuts the other day.  One thing’s for sure, I don’t want to be around should any of them ask for a blow-dry.

Study Claims Snoring Poses Cancer Risk:  According to a study out of University of Wisconsin-Madison, sleep apnea -- a sleep disorder associated with heavy snoring -- is also associated with a higher risk of developing cancer.  Perhaps, but I have a feeling the threat of a snorer being killed by their spouse far outweighs any cancer risk.

Frontier Airlines Pilot Buys Pizzas for Stranded Passengers:  A Frontier Airlines pilot helped take some of the sting out of an hours-long delay by ordering Domino's pizza for every passenger on his plane.  While most passengers were appreciative, those hoping for a lot of toppings were disappointed to find that Domino's delivered only “plane” pizza.
