BJ Penn may have had just cause to argue about the greasing allegation in his last fight against Georges St. Pierre.  Fine, you have that right. But making a video and continuing to whine about a fight that you got your ass kicked in becomes lame.

Even if GSP did oil himself up to make himself slicker, you would have become more slippery thus making his job harder. You were worked and you need to take it.

You completely and utterly destroyed Sean Sherk. Your jab was devastating and stand up game was impressive. GSP destroyed you and I have no interest in seeing you two fight again. Please don’t let your legacy become The-Whiner-That-Was.

Some eerie similarities between Lost and Star Trek. Not as funny as I had hoped but there are a couple of gems in there.

Man resigns using a cake.   This is one of those heartwarming stories where he was really happy with his job and a bit sad to leave.  Awwww.

So, tired of your job?  Plan on quitting and want to add some flair.  This will be the best $25 you will ever spend.  Make the cake with the worst combination of flavors and questionable fillings.  You would be the talk of the office for many years.

A couple drove 100 miles from South Africa’s famous Kruger National Park with a highly venomous spitting cobra in their car, the Beeld newspaper reported on Wednesday.Gordon Parratt, 69, felt the 85-centimetre (33-inch) long snake wind itself around his leg while he was driving.

At first he thought an insect had brushed his leg and swiped it away, but when he looked down he saw the snake next to his left foot, the report said.

“Fortunately I’m not the panicky type. My wife immediately put her feet up on the dashboard,” said Parratt.

The Pretoria couple made several stops to remove the snake but could not find it, until it wrapped itself around Parratt’s leg.

“Its head came up to my knee,” he said.

 

Finally the couple managed to call a snake expert to remove the cobra, the report said.

Are you effin’ kidding me?  I almost crashed my car when I was 16 because a bee hit the door of my open car window, was knocked out, and landed between my legs.  It started slowly moving and I did not want to get stung there.  I raised my ass out of the seat while jamming the breaks and pulling over. 

My friend was allergic to bees and was out of the car before it came to a complete stop.  I didn’t crash or get stung but it scared the crap out of me. 

If I knew there was a cobra in my car.  I would have exited the newly formed, body shaped sunroof while the car was doing 60.  If it wrapped itself around my leg and came up to my knee??  I either would have cut my leg off at the hip with an air freshner or just beat my leg the console trying to kill the cobra expecting to meet my maker.  Yes, I would have screamed like a little girl.

This is awesome and may keep people from sipping your drink - at least the squeamish ones.

So far I am enjoying this show partly because I like psychology and science and this show blends it quite well.  I actually feel like I am learning somethign useful.

In the show they use the concept of microfacial expressions to tell when people are lying.  It is based on real science which gives it some credibility and they use real life photos when explaining the facial tics.  They have use Presidents Clinton and Bush as well as quite a few celebrities.

So far we are three episodes in and it is doing well.  They haven’t done as good of a job with personal hooks like the Mentalist has done which is why it is the top new drama of the year.   A friend of a friend did a thesis on microfacial expressions and he regrets it.  It is like opening Pandora’s box and he knows when many people are lying.  Kind of a double-edged sword.

Check it out and give it a shot.
