Tom Danehy: Tom gets in on Kentucky clerk, Fox News hamster and Gov. Ducy's crack pipe (Tucson Weekly)
Her hypocrisy is absolutely overwhelming. The thrice-divorced clown is on her fourth husband. Here's the deal: If you've been divorced once, I really don't care, but it's probably best that you not initiate discussions of morality. If you've been divorced twice, you should probably avoid joining in any already-started discussion of morality. If you've been divorced three times, don't say sh-t!
Eddie Deezen: "The Cocoanuts: The Marx Brothers' First Film" (Neatorama)
In a scene where Groucho and Chico talk while reading a map, the crinkling of the map paper sounded like a violent thunder storm. After a few "much too loud takes," it was decided that the map paper would have to be "watered down" and the damp map proved a workable solution. All paper props for the film were similarly soaked in water to keep them quiet.
Eddie Deezen: Harpo Marx Naked (Neatorama)
Harpo never spoke in the Marx Brothers films, existing as a happy-go-lucky mute in a world of voices and sound. And while nakedness or the act of taking off one's clothes can often symbolize lasciviousness or sexuality, with Harpo, it would seem more of a childlike thing.
Ed Stevens: 5 Spectacular Failures In Video Game Realism (Cracked)
Video games walk a fine line when it comes to realism. No one expects a mushroom-eating plumber to obey the laws of reality, but if a gritty Call Of Duty soldier could double in size by pounding back some magic fungi, that would just be absurd. And, as we've told you before, sometimes games are at their most ridiculous when they're trying too hard to keep it real: …

10 Ways To Prepare For El Nino
Because SoCal will get it, too.
I love the one about God throwing a water balloon on CA and running away cackling. The image of a mischievous, fun-loving diety (as opposed to how most believers view said diety) actually lightens my heart, and I'm not a religious person. Spiritual, yes, but not religious. Organized religion is a dangerous thing. Or, as I've said before, spirituality is a relationship with the Divine. Religion is crowd control.
TGIF!

That would be Twiggy, real name Leslie (Something, can't remember her last name). I remember her well. She was famous and popular, but I fail to understand the attraction. Way too skinny for me, I've always been partial to curves. However, she did the best she could with what she had. Can't fault her for that, but you be the judge.

"Miss America," best known for the line, "There she is, Miss America," will be returning to the pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, this Sunday.
Miss America Organization executive chairman Sam Haskell tells The Associated Press his group reached a settlement with the estate of songwriter Bernie Wayne that will allow the iconic song to be used again. He says the pageant is paying an undisclosed amount for the right to use the song, which longtime host Bert Parks sang for years, starting in 1955.
The song had been absent from the pageant for the past five years amid a legal dispute over the right to use it.
Palestine's flag will fly at United Nations headquarters after the U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a Palestinian resolution, infuriating Israel with a move that Palestinians described as a step toward U.N. membership.
There were 119 votes in favor out of 193 U.N. members.
The United States and Israel were among eight countries that voted against the Palestinian-drafted resolution, which says the flags of non-member observer states like Palestine "shall be raised at (U.N.) Headquarters (in New York) and United Nations Offices following the flags of the member states."
Most of the 28-nation European Union were among the 45 nations that abstained from voting. However, France and more than half a dozen others voted in favor of the Palestinian resolution after the EU split on the issue.
The only other non-member observer state is the Vatican, which reacted coolly when the Palestinians first circulated their draft resolution last month.

The fossilised bones of 15 members of a previously unknown branch of the human family tree have been discovered in a cave in South Africa, scientists said Thursday, hailing the find as a breakthrough in evolution research.
About 1,500 fossils were found deep in a cave system outside Johannesburg, hidden in a chamber only accessible via several steep climbs and narrow rock crevasses.
The hominid -- described as a "new species" of human -- has been named Homo naledi after the "Rising Star" cave where the bones were found. Naledi means "star" in Sesotho, a local South African language.
Experts are uncertain how old the bones are, but say they were probably placed there after death -- a discovery that shines light on ancient human rituals.
A U.S. appeals court ruled on Thursday that federal regulators erred in allowing an insecticide developed by Dow AgroSciences onto the market, canceling its approval and giving environmentalists a major victory.
The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, is significant for commercial beekeepers and others who say a dramatic decline in bee colonies needed to pollinate key food crops is tied to widespread use of a class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids. Critics say the Environmental Protection Agency is failing to evaluate the risks thoroughly.
The lawsuit was filed in 2013 against the EPA by organizations representing the honey and honey beekeeping industry. The groups specifically challenged EPA approval of insecticides containing sulfoxaflor, saying studies have shown they are highly toxic to honey bees.
"It's a complete victory for the beekeepers we represent," said Greg Loarie, an attorney who represents the American Honey Producers Association, the American Beekeeping Federation and other plaintiffs in the case. "The EPA has not been very vigilant."
In its ruling, the court found that the EPA relied on "flawed and limited data" to approve the unconditional registration of sulfoxaflor, and that approval was not supported by "substantial evidence."

The Michigan House was at a standstill Thursday over whether to expel two social conservatives who admitted to misconduct in covering up their extramarital affair, as dozens of Democrats in the minority abstained from voting.
Sixty-seven members supported expelling Republican Rep. Todd Courser, six short of the two-thirds supermajority needed under the state constitution. Lawmakers were ordered to stay inside the chamber, and the voting board remained open into the evening hours after voting began.
Republican Rep. Cindy Gamrat also faces expulsion for her role. Just three legislators have been expelled in Michigan history.
"These two members have obliterated the public trust. They've obliterated the trust of their colleagues. And each day that they continue here they reduce the public trust in this institution," said Rep. Ed McBroom, a Republican from Vulcan in the Upper Peninsula who chaired a disciplinary panel that earlier Thursday urged the expulsions. He decried Democrats' "politicization" of the disciplinary process.
Democrats criticized the investigation as rushed and questioned why two "whistleblower" aides to Courser and Gamrat staffers were allowed to be fired, since the speaker's office knew of problems in their combined office. They said the matter should be looked into by law enforcement and the aides subpoenaed to testify to lawmakers.

U.S. health officials said on Thursday they were puzzled by a surge in the number of people who have contracted a rare bacterial disease usually found in rabbits that has already killed a Wyoming man and sickened dozens of people in Colorado, South Dakota and Nebraska this year.
The unusually high number of cases of tularemia, sometimes called rabbit fever, have been concentrated in northeastern Wyoming and in neighboring parts of South Dakota and Nebraska and farther south in the Colorado Front Range, where there have been reported die-offs of animals like rabbits and voles that can carry the infectious disease, Wyoming health officials said.
While tularemia, whose symptoms can include fever, sore throat and muscle aches, is often present in the environment, it rarely sickens more than a few people a year in Wyoming, a handful in Colorado and just a few in South Dakota, health officials said.
That compares to 41 confirmed human cases so far this year in Colorado, 14 in Wyoming - the highest number in the quarter century that reliable records have been compiled - and at least 19 in South Dakota, the most since 34 people acquired the ailment in 1984, state epidemiologists said.

Wildlife advocates are criticizing Utah officials for not suspending a coyote bounty program after they were told about a wolf sighting - one month before a rare gray wolf was killed by a hunter who mistook it for a coyote.
State officials defended their actions Thursday, saying they determined it was inconclusive if the sighting was a wolf and noting that the hunter wasn't participating in the bounty program.
The 3-year-old female wolf - named "Echo" in a nationwide student contest - was killed in December 2014 in southern Utah after capturing the attention of wildlife advocates across the country because it was the first seen near the Grand Canyon in seven decades.
Wildlife advocates called the death of an animal protected in Utah under the Endangered Species Act heartbreaking and were dismayed when the hunter wasn't charged after an investigation by U.S. Fish and Wildlife

A loud crash startled a California family at home Wednesday morning when a chunk of ice the size of a basketball hurdled from the sky and smashed through the roof, likely the result of frozen moisture breaking loose from an airplane flying high overhead.
Monica Savath said she and her family were in the living room of their Modesto home when they were shaken by the commotion. She said it sounded like a bomb exploding. Running to the attached garage, they found a gaping hole in the roof and shattered ice. Nobody was injured.
Jim Mathews, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento, dismissed any meteorological explanation, given the area's clear blue skies and hot temperatures. He said an airplane is the most likely culprit and suspects the same moisture that creates long white trails behind jets can collect into a large ice block. One may have dislodged from a plane and found its way to the family's home, he said.
Pieces of the ice in the Savath home were white or clear. Its color ruled out the possibility that it was waste that leaked from an airplane, which is blue from chemicals used to flush airplane toilets.
Former child star Dickie Moore was less than a year old when he first appeared onscreen in the late 1920s and became a regular star of classic silver screen films throughout the 1930s and 1940s such as Out of the Past, Oliver Twist and Sergeant York.
He quit acting in the late 1950s, aged 29, when he accepted a public relations post at Actors Equity and in 1964 he formed his own PR company, DICk Moore Associates.
He co-produced, co-directed and appeared in a short film called Boy and the Eagle that earned him an Oscar nomination in 1950.
