There are Seven Billion People in the World . . . What Number are You?
In the next few days, the world's population is going to hit SEVEN BILLION. That means it's doubled in the last 50 years. And now it's time to see where YOU fit in.
The BBC put together a website where you enter your birthdate and it tells you approximately where you fit in to the world's population.
For example, someone who was born on January 1st, 1982 is the four billionth, 572 millionth, 566 thousandth, 117th person.

Eight Simple Home Remedies for Your Dog
 You've probably heard a million home remedies for YOURSELF. But what about home remedies for your DOG?
 --Well, a book came out earlier this year called "Amazing Pet Cures", and some of them sound like they might actually work . . . for dogs AND cats. Here are the top eight.
 #1.) Use Crisco to Get Burs Out of Their Fur. Wear work gloves so you don't get pricked, then work a dab of Crisco into the affected area, pry the burs loose, and use shampoo to get the Crisco off.
 #2.) Use Vinegar to Stop Your Dog from Chewing on the Furniture. In a spray bottle, mix five ounces of white vinegar, five ounces of apple cider vinegar, and five ounces of water. Then spray it on whatever the dog likes to chew.
 --Or if it's a specific spot, you can dab it with Bengay.  #3.) To Kill Fleas, Bathe Your Dog with Dawn Dish Soap. It's non-toxic, but it penetrates the exoskeletons of the fleas and kills them. And according to the book, it works better than some prescription flea shampoos.
  #4.) To Prevent Shedding, Use a Damp Paper Towel. Just run a sheet under the tap, then pet your dog with it to collect the loose hair. It won't actually STOP the shedding. But it'll help make sure the hair doesn't end up all over the house.
 #5.) Use Trash Bags to Stop You Dog from Going to the Bathroom Inside. If it always happens in the same spot, just cut open a trash bag and put it there. Most dogs hate the feeling of plastic on their feet so much, they won't walk on it.
 --Of course, there's still a chance it'll go right NEXT to the trash bag.
 #6.) To Discourage Digging, Use Tabasco Sauce and Cayenne Pepper. If they keep digging up the yard, add four tablespoons of Tabasco and four tablespoons of cayenne pepper to one quart of water. Then sprinkle it on the grass.
 #7.) To Make the Food Bowls Easier to Clean, Use PAM Cooking Spray. If you spray a little bit on the inside of the bowl before you fill it with wet food, the leftover pieces won't stick when they dry out.
 --And as an added bonus, the vegetable oil helps make your dog's coat shinier.
 #8.) For Older Dogs with Arthritis, Use White Rice in a Sock. Fill a sock halfway with uncooked white rice, tie a knot in the end, and heat it in the microwave for one minute.
 --Then put the warm sock on your dog's joints twice a day for about 15 minutes. You can also do the same thing with a regular heating pad. But you don't have to worry about your dog RUINING rice in a sock. And it's also re-usable.
 --Just make sure to use a CLEAN sock . . . or your microwave will smell DISGUSTING.
A Homemade Rocket with an On-Board Camera Reached an Altitude of 121,000 Feet
Here's some science trivia you probably didn't know: Â The official edge of space is 62 miles up . . . or about 327,000 feet.
And the first homemade rocket to reach it was launched by a team of amateurs in 2004 . . . reaching an official height of just over 380,000 feet.
I only mention it because an amateur named Derek Deville just launched a homemade rocket from the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Â And it didn't go nearly that high. Â But the videos of it are great.
The rocket reached 121,000 feet, while an on-board camera got footage of the whole thing. Â And even though it's not OFFICIALLY outer space . . . it sure looks like it from 121,000 feet up.
A video on YouTube shows the launch from the ground, and from the camera strapped to the rocket. Â Then it shows the parachute deploy before it falls back to Earth. Â From start to finish, the whole thing took less than 15 minutes. Below is a highlight video. For the full 16 minute video CLICK HERE

There's a pretty intense video on YouTube . . . but it's not intense in the way you might think. It's just a 29-year-old deaf woman hearing herself for the first time, with the aid of a medical device. Basically, she reacts exactly how you'd THINK someone would react when hearing their own voice for the first time . . . she's emotionally overwhelmed. This is pretty cool:

A cage fighting event which included children as young as eight has created a storm of controversy.
Footage of the bouts posted on the Internet have provoked an outcry with the British Cage Fighting Association describing parents who allow their children to take part as "morons."
The event was staged at the Greenlands New Labour Social Club in Preston.
At one point, one of the schoolboy fighters is seen to break down in tears.
Lancashire police say they will now investigate whether children were put at risk by taking part in the event.

I've got a photo that's been circling around the Internet from an unspecified Walgreens, and there's a sign on a shelf reading "ATTENTION: Please DO NOT open or try on product. Thank you."
 Amazing video has surfaced of several bystanders rushing to the aid of a motorcyclist trapped under a BMW.Â
It happened in Logan, Utah, near the campus of Utah State University. The video shows a group of students, construction workers, and others lifting the car from atop the pinned man as his burning motorcycle begins to engulf the car.Â
Police say the man is in stable condition. So far, none of the anonymous heroes have come forward.

There's a dog in Boulder, Colorado you need to check out. He's an eight-year-old, 93-pound coonhound named Harbor, and he's the new Guinness world record holder for LONGEST EARS on a living dog.
--Harbor's left ear stretches out to 12.25 inches, and his right ear hits 13.5 inches. Overall, that's an ear-span of 25.75 inches.
--His owners say his ears have always been gigantic . . . when he was still a puppy, he would trip over his ears because they'd hang down lower than his paws.
Remember this classic photo? At first glace it's terrifying, but it's totally fake. That didn't stop MILLIONS of people from sending this out in mass e-mails shortly after 9/11. For more on this picture go to truthorfiction.com.
Last Saturday, the Sarasota Gators faced off against the North Port Husky's in a youth football game at Riverview High, in Sarasota, Florida. With about a minute and a half left in the first half, the ref called a personal foul against the Husky's.
--But for some reason, the Gators sideline FLIPPED OUT. Maybe because they were losing 30-to-6. And the ref called ANOTHER personal foul when they came onto the field and confronted him.
--A Husky fan was filming the whole thing, and she didn't capture all of what happened next. Apparently, someone threw a bottle of water on the ref, and a fight started. But it's unclear who threw the first punch.
--But she DID film the aftermath . . . where a player ran the ref over like a FREIGHT TRAIN, and started a brawl. An assistant coach for the Husky's tried to break it up, and got injured along with the ref.
--Now the Gators have been banned from playing on their home field, and suspended. And the cops are making arrests.

Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons will formalize their 28-year relationship on October 1st at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California at 5:30 p.m.
In July, on the finale of the sixth season of the Simmons reality show, Family Jewels, he got down on one knee in Belize and proposed, which caused Shannon to gasp. While viewers won't see her answer until season seven premieres on October 4th, she'll already be a married woman by then.
The invitation is from the couple's children, Nick and Sophie, who also designed it. Nick drew a family picture and Sophie wrote the message, which says, "Classy Cocktail Attire Requested, although we know some Rockstar attire will be worn... There will no longer be a Team Tweed or a Team Simmons, but instead a Team Tweed-Simmons."
This is the first marriage for both. Simmons is 62 and claims to have slept with more than 2,000 women, and Shannon, a former Playboy Playmate and onetime girlfriend of the magazine's publisher, Hugh Hefner, is 54. Here is the official invite:
This cop picked a BAD spot to have OUTDOOR SEX while he was on duty.
In Santa Fe, New Mexico, the county sheriff's office had set up a surveillance camera to catch vandals. Clearly, one state police officer didn't know where the camera was.
--Because the camera recently had a PERFECT VIEW of him having outdoor sex with a woman on the hood of a Honda . . . while he was still in uniform. And he may have been on duty.
--Sadly, there aren't many other details available like the officer's name, the woman's name, what action could be taken against him . . . or whether or not that's a small Chihuahua watching them get-it-on.
Earlier this month, 86-year-old Leroy Luetscher of Green Valley, Arizona was working in the yard. He was using a small pair of gardening shears to prune some bushes, and he dropped them. They landed on the ground, handles pointing up. When Leroy reached down to pick them up, he fell face-first. One of the handles went THROUGH HIS EYE SOCKET . . . behind his nose . . . and ended up mostly down his throat. The other side of the handle was still sticking out of his eye socket.
He was rushed to University Medical Center in Tucson. Surgeons there somehow managed to remove the shears, completely rebuild his eye area, AND save his vision. HERE'S THE PHOTO IN ALL IT'S GNARLY SPLENDOR:
--It's been about four weeks since then, and Leroy still has bruising and some minor damage . . . but he can see out of the eye.

A lot of places still need help with the flooding from Hurricane Irene. Let's just hope the National Guard units they deploy have a little more sense than the ones in Manville, New Jersey. There's a YouTube video that shows two National Guard trucks there, full of guys, driving straight into deep floodwater. It goes right up to the roof of the trucks. First one truck drives in, then another. And at first it works . . . sort of. The guy filming says, "How's that possible?" And his buddy responds, "It's the Army, bro." Only, it isn't possible: Both trucks end up floating, and the men inside have to swim out. So the guy filming says, "Are you guys that stupid?" It's a good question.

If you had to put money on a fight between a cat and a dog, you'd almost always go with the dog, right? Well, there's a new video online of a cat and a dog in a stand-off. And it ends with the dog running away yelping . . . while the cat CHASES AFTER IT. Granted, the dog is pretty small. But it's still a badass move by the cat.

If you think cars only explode in the movies, check this out: Last Friday, someone in Los Angeles got cell phone footage of firefighters dealing with a burning car that was parked on the street. And while one of them was standing right next to it dousing it with water, something under the hood EXPLODED.
It was actually pretty intense . . . but the explosion was small enough that the badass firefighter just stepped away for a second, then turned his hose on again and kept working.

A Guy here in Northern California Has Taken His Dog Skydiving 64 Times
The "Sacramento Bee" did a story this week on a former skydiving instructor in Northern California who's taken his dog Otis on 64 tandem jumps.
You could probably make the case that it's animal cruelty, but apparently the 10-year-old pug ENJOYS it. They posted a video of one of the jumps online, and he looks completely calm. He even has his own skydiving goggles. Check out the full story by clicking on THIS LINK
I've never taken my own pug sky-diving, but just for the hell of it, here's his picture. His name is Denny:
DONALD TRUMP bought himself his very own 757 jet and customized it to well beyond the definition of decadence.
This thing has a passenger area that seats 43 people. Each seat has its own "audio-visual system", and all the fixtures . . . right down to the seat belt buckles . . . are gold-plated.
There's a separate dining area, a main lounge, a guest area (slash) bedroom and a MASTER bedroom adorned with, quote, "yards and yards of elegant gold silk." There's also a master BATHROOM, complete with a shower.
There's a "VIP" area . . . which I guess means that Trump will sometimes fly people who are beneath him . . . and from whom he might feel the need to separate himself. (???)
There are also three totally tricked-out home theater systems.
As for the video, Trump doesn't appear in it himself. Maybe he thought that if he was absent from it, he could create the illusion that he's NOT bragging about how rich he is. Instead, it's hosted by AMANDA MILLER, his secretary on "Celebrity Apprentice".

Hugh Hefner lost a fiance, but he's gained two girlfriends.
The Playboy mogul introduced his second gal-pal, Shera Bechard, in a tweet yesterday -- just two weeks after Crystal Harris dumped him. Hef wrote, "Shera is both our November 2011 Playmate and my new girlfriend." The 85-year-old is also reportedly dating Playmate Anna Sophia Berglund. For the record, Shera's 27.

This is amazing: Someone uploaded a video to YouTube that shows a tribe from New Guinea encountering white men for the first time . . . and they're absolutely terrified. According to the video, it was shot in 1976.
The tribe is so suspicious of them, they actually try to wipe the white off of one guy's skin. Then he shows them a box of matches, and they bring him to their village, where the women seem even MORE suspicious.
The best parts are when he shows them more equipment, like a spoon and a machete. But they're most shocked by his little handheld mirror.
The end of the video is great too, because the background music cuts out, and it shows one of the tribesmen listening to his own voice on a handheld tape recorder. The whole thing is 15 minutes long, but it's worth it.

Occasionally when you're out in public you see something worthy of taking out the camera phone and snapping a photo or taking a video; but as cool as your video of a double rainbow or photo of a couple kissing in the midst of a riot is, it's got nothing on this random moment captured on Sunday.

Presenting the geekiest beachwear ever: the solar-powered swimsuit.
The Solar Bikini, designed by Andrew Schneider of Brooklyn, uses the sun to charge iPods, iPhones, and any other gadgets with a USB connector.
The suit uses conductive thread and thin photo- panels, creating a sort of chain-mail fabric that gives the bikini a medieval armor-meets-21st century look. The solar power absorbed by the panels charges any gadget that can be plugged into the suit's USB ports, sewn right into the fabric.
Schneider is in the process of creating a men's swimsuit using the same technology to chill beers.
You can even swim in the Solar Bikini, with one crucial caveatâ¦you just need to be dry before hooking up your gadgets. (You're not even looking at the swim suit, are you?)

The tornadoes that hit the U.S. in the past couple months have led to so many tragic stories, it's almost hard to keep track. This one's a reminder that sometimes amazing things can happen in the face of disaster.
--Back on April 27th, a tornado hit Birmingham, Alabama. A dog named Mason, who's a terrier mix, was outdoors when it hit . . . and he was BLOWN AWAY in the storm.
--His owners searched for him everywhere but couldn't find him. Their house was destroyed in the storm as well. (--They asked for their names not to be released.)
--Twenty-three days later, they went back to look through the debris of their house . . . and against all odds, Mason SHOWED UP. He had two broken legs, but had managed to figure out his way home . . . and dragged himself there.
--He had surgery earlier this week to fix his legs and should be able to walk properly again in about six weeks. To see the video just click on this link:

Believe it or not, some people might find you annoying. I know. They're idiots. But still.
A personality psychologist named Robert Hogan put together a 20-question quiz to figure out just how annoying you actually are. It gauges you on the three big areas of annoyingness: Whether you're picky, arrogant, or irritating.
Overall, you get a score between one and five. The quiz only takes about two minutes and it's definitely worth your time.

--HBO just released a picture of Julianne as Sarah, and it's a convincing look.

A Guy Dressed Up Like Justin Bieber and Stood on the Roof of a Building . . . And Hundreds of Girls Below Started Screaming
 JUSTIN BIEBER played a concert in Zurich, Switzerland earlier this month. And some guy pranked hundreds of girls while they were waiting to get into the venue.
He dressed up like Bieber, stood on the roof of a nearby building, and started waving. And as soon as one girl started screaming, so did the rest.Â

The BBC ran a documentary series earlier this year called "Human Planet", and it just started airing on the Discovery channel this past Sunday.
--Now, just in time for the weekend, someone posted a parody of it on YouTube that examines the mating habits of "The Douche."Â According to the parody, the Douche pops his collar, wears sunglasses in the club, and tries to pick up chicks.
--He has to get girls drunk in order to mate with them, but inevitably fails, and resorts to beating up other guys to repair his self-esteem.Â

Imagine hitting your golf ball into a water hazard, walking to the edge of the water, and seeing a ten-foot SHARK swimming around. Well, it's possible at the Carbrook Golf Club in Queensland, Australia, which features a lake filled with 30 bull sharks.
--Club officials think the sharks washed into the lake during a flood in the early 90's, and there's a video on YouTube of one shark swimming right up to the edge of the shore.Â

An airline passenger with an empty seat next to him decided to point his camera out the window and record a remarkable time-lapse video of the entire 11-hour flight from San Francisco to Paris.

A lot of the videos of the tsunami that hit Japan a month ago have been shocking, but there's a new one on YouTube that's even crazier because it actually shows villagers in Iwaki City screaming while they watch people try to outrun it ON FOOT.
--It looks like an elderly woman and the woman with her didn't make it: It shows them at the bottom on the hill when the wave gets there, then everyone starts screaming, and the camera moves away. When the camera moves back, they're gone.
--The entire second half of the one minute video is shaky chaos, because the guy with the camera is running for his life. What's amazing is how fast the area below the hill is completely inundated with deep water, cars, and buses.

 I mean . . . it's a female agent doing the pat down, and while she does everything she can to keep it professional, the way she's touching the girl would get her ARRESTED in any other context.Â
 Plus, the little girl makes it clear at the beginning that she doesn't want to participate.

A Jumbo Jet Clipped a Smaller Plane on the Runway at JFK Airport and Spun It Almost 90 Degrees...
 An Air France Airbus A380 was taxiing on the runway at JFK Airport in New York on Monday night, and clipped a much smaller Comair jet.
The Airbus is the largest commercial passenger jet in the world, and when its left wing caught the tail of the Comair plane, it spun the entire plane almost 90 degrees in less than two seconds.
Luckily, none of the 62 passengers on board the smaller jet were hurt. But even though the video doesn't have sound, you can tell the people on the plane must have felt a pretty big jolt.

A Guy Was Arrested For Trying To Abduct a College Student . . . And He Looks Just Like Christopher Walken...
I'm sure that the victim in this story is traumatized from nearly being abducted . . . so I hope her friends give it another three days before they start saying, "You know what your kidnapping needed? More cowbell."
--Last Monday, he tried to lure the student into his car, and when she said no, he grabbed her and tried to pull her in....He's been arrested for attempting to entice an adult into a vehicle. Here's the real deal by the way:
Quick quiz: How old do you think the oldest cheerleader in the NFL is? 26? 30? 36? Wrong, wrong and wrong.
--She's 42!
--Her name is LAURA VIKMANIS, and she cheers for the Cincinnati Bengals. And New Line Cinema is doing a movie about her.
--Laura decided to try out for the team at the age of 39 . . . after her husband left her for a younger woman.
--She didn't make it, so she kept working out . . . and she made it the following year, when she was 40.
Kind of along the lines of the "Double Rainbow" guy (remember him?) here's a kid from Pennsylvania recording a "Tornado"..AND FREAKING OUT. Pretty funny, especially at the very end...enjoy:

Officials at UCLA are outraged and embarrassed by a video posted by a busty blond student who goes on a racist rant about Asian students and their families.
In the video, which runs nearly three minutes, a student identified as Alexandra Wallace goes off on what she calls rude Asian students who talk on their cell phones in the university's library.
Thanks to incredibly bad timing, the video surfaced on Friday, the day Japan was rocked by the earthquake and tsunami that has killed thousands and left thousands homeless.Â

If Both People In a Couple Can Answer These Three Math Questions Correctly, Odds Are You'll Be Millionaires
 We FINALLY have a reason why you should've paid attention in math class. According to a new study, if both members of a couple can answer these three math questions right, the odds are you'll be millionaires by the time you're 50.
  --Really. It's that simple. In the study, spouses who both answered all three of these questions right averaged a combined worth of at least $1.7 MILLION by age 50. Couples who both got all three wrong were worth under $200,000 by age 50.
  --Here are the three questions. Ready to see if you've got millions of dollars in your future?
 #1.) If the chance of getting a disease is 10%, how many people out of 1,000 would be expected to get the disease?
 #2.) If five people all have the winning numbers in the lottery, and the prize is $2 MILLION, how much will each of them get?
 #3.) Let's say you have $200 in a savings account. The account earns 10% interest per year. How much would you have in the account after two years?
 (--The answers to the math questions are: 100 people . . . $400,000 each . . . and $242.)
Here's a video that football fans will never forget. 25 years ago today, Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann took what would become the final snap of his 12 year NFL career. Theismann attempted a flea-flicker play and was sacked by the Giants' Lawrence Taylor. Theismann suffered one of the most gruesome injuries in the history of sports when his leg was completely fractured. The Washington Post called it, "The hit that no one who saw it can ever forget."

Mobile phones and computers will soon be able to diagnose sexually transmitted diseases under innovative plans to cut the UK's rising rate of herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhoea among young people.
Doctors and technology experts are developing small devices, similar to pregnancy testing kits, that will tell someone quickly and privately if they have caught an infection through sexual contact.
People who suspect they have been infected will be able to put urine or saliva on to a computer chip about the size of a USB chip, plug it into their phone or computer and receive a diagnosis within minutes, telling them which, if any, sexually transmitted infection (STI) they have. Seven funders, including the Medical Research Council, have put £4m into developing the technology via a forum called the UK Clinical Research Collaboration.
Sexual health experts hope it will help reduce the growing number of STIs, which have increased for the last decade and reached a record 482,696 last year. Two-thirds of women reporting a new STI were under 25, as were more than half of men.
The self-testing devices are aimed at technology-savvy young people. Public health experts are concerned that, although most STIs occur among that age group, many are too embarrassed to visit a GP or a genito-urinary medicine clinic to get tested and therefore continue to suffer and potentially pass the disease on. Doctors hope that the ability to obtain a private, confidential diagnosis will overcome their widespread reluctance to take a test.
The developers of the rapid testing devices expect them to be sold for as little as 50p or £1 each in vending machines in nightclubs, pharmacies and in supermarkets, as condoms are.

Here is the official press release from the Raider organization:
THE OAKLAND RAIDERS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 27, 2010
RAIDERS MOURN PASSING OF GEORGE BLANDA
We are deeply saddened by the passing of the great George Blanda. George was a brave Raider and a close personal friend of Raiders Owner Al Davis.
When the Raiders Owner presented him for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1981, Davis called Blanda the greatest clutch player the game of pro football has ever known.
The Miracle of George Blanda in 1970 will live for eternity in the history of the Raiders as well as all of professional football. That year, Blandaâs last-minute heroics as a quarterback and place kicker resulted in four victories and a last second tie for the Silver and Black.
Our heart goes out to his wife Betty and the Blanda family and we grieve with them for our great friend.
A private funeral service will be held for the family. A memorial service will be held with the time and place to be announced at a later date.
Let me start by saying: Everyone here would be BEYOND flattered if you went out and got our station's logo tattooed on your forehead. On another note, DO NOT DO THAT. There's really NOTHING that deserves that spot on your body.
A few years ago, 48-year-old David Winkelman of Davenport, Iowa was listening to 93.5 KORB-FM . . . 93 Rock . . . when a DJ offered $100,000 to anyone who tattooed the station logo on their forehead. Â And David went and did it
He AND his stepson both got the 93 Rock logo on their foreheads, including their motto, quote, "The Quad City Rocker."Â But when they went to collect their prize money, the station told them it was all a PRACTICAL JOKE . . . there was no money.
David sued the station, but the suit was dismissed when David failed to show up for court proceedings.
Anyway, it's been a few years since then. KORB 93 Rock is gone . . . the station is now KQCS, Star 93.5, an adult contemporary station. And David still walks around every day with the logo on his forehead, for a station that's now defunct.
How do we know this? Because on Thursday night, he was arrested for failure to appear in court. He was charged with operating a motor vehicle without the owner's consent, never showed up for his court date, and there was a warrant out for his arrest.
And in his mugshot, his tattoo is on FULL DISPLAY. He has a shaved head too, which makes it seem even worse.
Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer in May, and his Encino home has just been put on the market this week for $3.333 million. The home has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, over 5,000 square feet of living space, and was built in the style of an English manor. Usually listings like to boast about how new all the appliances are, but this one highlights antique features: "200 year old wood [floors] from France, pub bar from the Kings Arms in Chiqwell Essex, England c. 1820, & custom stained antique windows from the 18th & 19th centuries." Don't forget the antique cathedral windows in the master bedroom, circa 1790! As is befitting a rock legend, it also comes equipped with a custom music studio.
Courtesy of my buddy Joe Kelly:
A doctor on his morning walk, noticed the old lady above, sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?"Â Â
"I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Â Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. Â On weekends, I pop pills, get a little lovin', and don't exercise at all." Â Â
"That is absolutely amazing!  How old are you?" "Thirty-four," she replied.Â
College football rivalries are so intense that a fan's hatred for the enemy university is passed down from generation to generation. Clearly that's the case in this University of Alabama family, who tested their young son's hatred of rival Auburn University by threatening to take him into the Auburn store at the local mall.

Sheyla Hershey, the woman who received the largest fake breasts in the world -- size 38KKK -- has had her implants removed after they nearly killed her. Hershey actually had four implants -- two per breast -- to create the massive chest. And since her natural breast tissue was so damaged, much of that was removed as well. She got her implants in Brazil (where the plastic surgery laws aren't as strict), and they had caused a life-threatening staph infection. She had the implants removed by surgeons in Texas.Apparently she's OK with being smaller now. "I just want a normal size like a housewife has," Sheyla says.
Minerva, Ohio, Councilman Phil Davison's over-the-top, emotional rant of a speech on Wednesday night failed to earn him a nomination for Stark County treasurer, but it did make him a viral-video sensation. Although it seems impossible bywatching Davison in the clip, he claims his newfound notoriety has left him "speechless."

Britain's The Sunis having a field day with the story of a two-year-old Indonesian boy who throws tantrums if he can't smoke 40 cigarettes a day. The paper first reported about the smoking tot last week. Yesterday it kept the ball rolling with shocking photos and video of the toddler, who was given his first cigarette by his father at 18 months and now is addicted. Diana, the 26-year-old mother of Ardi Rizal said, "He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick."

This is so you ladies out there can better understand us guysâ¦weâre always trying to figure you women outâ¦maybe this will help explain why us guys do the things we do, why we are such pigs most of the time. Let's say you're at a bar with the woman in your life when your eyes move inexorably toward another woman walking by.
In one-fifth of a second, before the conscious mind has had a chance to react, the male brain has rendered judgment on whether the oncoming stranger is sexually hot.
Pupils dilate, heart rate spikes, testosterone surges and the eyes assume a vacant stare â sure signs that the âman tranceâ has set in.
For genetically preprogrammed men, the offence is as involuntary and natural as breathing, says brain researcher, neuropsychiatrist and author Louann Brizendine, whose book, The Male Brain, mounts a unique defense for such male indiscretions.
Men are more visual, more driven to sexual pursuit and more predisposed to cheat than women, she writes.
The sexual pursuit area in the male brain is 2.5 times larger than the one in the female brain âconsuming him with sexual fantasies about female body parts,â she concludes.
Consider the implications.
This amounts to conclusive physiological justification for the male practice of staring at female breasts.
âIt's a reflex that's built into the brain circuits,â she said in an interview. âAt its core biological basis, it's unfair to criticize men for that initial unconscious circuitry.â So ladies, please donât get mad or upset when we glance at that rackâ¦that spectacular rackâ¦we canât help it. Itâs in our genetic code.
When we finally do look away, the experience fades quickly for men, Brizendine writes.
Man trances are fleeting moments of unconscious aesthetic appreciation that disappear from the mind as quickly as they emerge.
While our women fume for hours over our indiscretion, we've obliviously switched focus within moments to the ball game, where to go for nachos or internal debates over who would win in a fight between Batman and Spiderman.
Ladies...now you know.

Turns out that bizarre New Yearâs Day McNuggets rage incident was caught on surveillance tape by a camera at the Toledo, Ohio McDonaldâs where Melodi Dushane had her meltdown.
Dushane put her fist through the drive-thru window after being informed that McDonald's stopped serving dinner selections at 2:30 AM (Dushane, 24, had pulled up to the eatery at about 6:30 AM).
Dushane "leaned out of her car, into the window, and punched a McDonaldâs worker in her mouth." When a second employee interceded, Dushane took a swing at her. After the women tussled, Dushane "then punched the drive through window, breaking it.
Charged with felony vandalism, Dushane last month cut a plea deal and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and ordered to serve three years probation. Watch her freak out here...there's no audio:

A TOPLESS sunbather in Italy is being investigated by police after being accused of sensuously rubbing sun tan oil on herself on a public beach. Police were called to a beach south of Rome by a furious mother who said the way the âattractiveâ sunbather was rubbing lotion on her body had âtroubled her sons aged 14 and 12.â The mother said she had asked the 24-year-old woman, identified only as Luisa under Italian privacy laws, to cover herself up. But the woman, still topless, refused and an argument broke out and police were called. The complaint has triggered a debate in Italy about topless bathing...what debate? Shouldn't she be topless ALL the time? Take a look...

Stella Awards
It's time again for the annual 'Stella Awards'! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico , where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.*SEVENTH PLACE*
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
* SIXTH PLACE *
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
* FIFTH PLACE *
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re- enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. *FOURTH PLACE*
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by h is next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
* THIRD PLACE *
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boy friend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
*SECOND PLACE*
Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure. Â * FIRST PLACE *
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the c ruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down?
$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.

A scantily-dressed waitress has been fined $300 after two police officers sitting at a bar in Perth decided she was showing too much buttock. Megan Brookes was charged with indecent exposure after being observed by the undercover officers at the Market City Tavern.

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing,
stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by
accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in
frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection,
dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up
into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to
exit her car with her hands up..
He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted,
photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the
door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer
was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your
car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you
and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper
sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to
Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem
on the trunk, so naturally....I assumed you had stolen the car.''
Singer and dancer Britney Spears has been targeted by a former bodyguard, Fernando Flores who is alleging that the star came on to him several times, making him feel âuncomfortableâ.
"She was always giving him the come on and he felt if he didn't reciprocate he could lose his jobâ¦he finally handed in his notice last week, and is considering legal action."
"Working for Britney is tough; she's a nightmare to deal with and her emotions are totally out of control. She runs round the house nakedâ¦âHow tough could that gig be, really? Are you telling me this is an occupational hazard? Here at 98 Rock, this would be known as a fringe benefit!
Traffic school isn't fun, which is why companies across the country offer it as a comedy show. You still get the information -- just in an interesting way.Learning CPR isn't necessarily fun either. So, if you're going to learn it, why not get the information in an interesting way with the Super Sexy CPR video.The makers of the video, which can be found at SuperSexyCPR.com, hired two hot lingerie models to explain how to properly perform the life-saving procedure. It's a brilliant idea. Think about it ... mouth-to-mouth resuscitation ... chest compressions ... Fun stuff.

Major League Baseball almost had its third perfect game of the season and 21st in history last night. Almost. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Cleveland Indians' Jason Donald hit a ground ball between first and second base, fielded by the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera. He tossed it to pitcher Armando Galarraga, who was covering first base. Galarraga should have been celebrating his achievement, but instead, umpire Jim Joyce called Donald safe, blowing the call and Galarraga's perfect game.Take a look for yourself...what do you think?
Okay, here's a video look at the same play:

Jesse James,
You stupid bastard! You cheated on Sandra Bullock? How in the world could you be so stupid? You are married to one of the most beautiful women on earth. She has a body to die for and her current wealth is shadowed only by Oprah. Your wife recently beat out Julia Roberts as "America's Sweetheart". You might also remember, she just won an Oscar and praised you up and down in front of the world while you were porkin' the skankiest woman on the planet. You really are a piece of work! You are the most hated jackass cheater on the planet. How can you live with yourself? I only have one thing to say to the despicable, miserable, cheating piece of crap that you are: THANKS FOR TAKINGÂ THE HEAT OFF OF ME FOR A WHILE. LET'S DO LUNCH.

Ronnie James Dio, one of the distinctive voices of hard rock, is dead at the age of 67. Dio died Sunday morning after suffering stomach cancer. Dio's wife and manager Wendy posted a note on his website Sunday afternoon saying, "Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us."The diminutive singer, whose height was given as five-foot-four, was born Ronald James Padavona in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. His family moved to Cortland, New York early in his life. As a teenager he played in various rockabilly bands and took his stage name in 1961 for Ronnie Dio and the Prophets. When that band broke up in 1967, he and Prophets guitarist Nick Pantas started a new band called the Electric Elves, which became Elf in 1969 and went on to do shows opening for Deep Purple. Dio's vocals caught the ear of Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who later formed Rainbow with Dio and other members of Elf. Dio sang on three Rainbow albums and is heard on tracks like "Man on the Silver Mountain" and "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll."Dio left Rainbow in 1978 and became Ozzy Osbourne's replacement in Black Sabbath the following year. This version of Sabbath released two albums -- Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules -- before Dio and drummer Vinny Appice quit in 1982 to form the band Dio. That band's first album, Holy Diver, was their most popular and contained the hit "Rainbow in the Dark." Dio was the band's only constant member over a 10-album career.Dio rejoined Black Sabbath for the Dehumanizer album and tour in 1992, but quit again when the group agreed to open for Ozzy Osbourne at the end of his No More Tours Tour in November 1992. Dio worked with his Sabbath bandmates in 2006 to record three songs for a compilation called The Dio Years and followed it up with a tour in 2007, but for legal reasons they called themselves Heaven and Hell. The quartet released a studio album last year called The Devil You Know. Heaven and Hell had planned on touring this summer, but those plans were canceled earlier this month because of Dio's health issues.A visibly frail Dio made his last known public appearance at last month's taping of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards at L.A.'s Club Nokia, where he won Best Vocalist for The Devil You Know. Accepting the award, he told the crowd, "It's great to be back among people again. It's been awhile, and I can't wait to get back on stage again." Unfortunately, it wasn't to be. The Revolver Golden Gods Awards will air for the first time this Saturday on VH1 Classic.   Dio's other lasting contribution to hard rock culture is that he is credited for popularizing the "devil's horn" hand symbol.Dio is survived by Wendy (his second wife) and his adopted son Dan from his first marriage.
Here are some things you should never say to a lesbian:
"You just haven't met the right guy yet."
"So what's up with the WNBA?"
"You don't look gay."
"So who's the man in your relationship?"
"How do you know you're gay? Are you sure?"
"But you've been with a man, right?"
"Can I watch?"Â "No, really...can I watch?"
You will not see these heart-stopping photos on the front page of the NY Times, nor on the lead story of the major news networks. The protestors at Montebello High School in Southern California took the American flag off the school's flag pole and hung it upside down while putting up the Mexican flag over it.  (*See pictures below*)
This is an exerpt from an e-mail going around from a teacher in Ukiah, California:
This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent. Â
"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.Â
Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing
funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America ..Â
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students, here in the country less then 3 months, who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas"(whores) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.Â
Free medical, free education, free food, free day care etc., etc, etc. Â Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.Â
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.Â
Americans, We need to wake up.
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: It involves an American third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about âpolitical correctness"  that we don't have the will to do anything about it.Â
If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.Â
CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.Â
Consumers don't want expensive produce.Â
Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor."Â
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.Â
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.Â
He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
If they are, or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.  If qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare.   All of this is at (OUR) taxpayer's expense.Â
He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.Â
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6..00/hour left after paying their bills AND his.Â
Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!
A 74-year-old woman from Ontario, Canada, who attempted to cross the U.S./Canadian border into New York earlier this week was arrested when a officials discovered a marijuana charge from 1980.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents said Homenella Cole advised officers at the Lewiston-Queenston border crossing Monday that she had previous criminal convictions in Canada, reports the National Post.
"She said she wanted a waiver to enter the U.S., which is not uncommon," CBP spokesman Kevin Corsaro said.
When officers then ran a routine criminal record check, they learned Cole had an active felony warrant issued on April 1, 1980 by the New York City Police Department. Cole was arrested on the outstanding warrant and was extradited to New York City. The senior citizen will face the charge of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute. The priceless part of this story is the accompanying photo:

A 62-year-old Toronto woman whose terrible parking job became the subject of a viral YouTube video last year was sentenced in Newmarket court Tuesday. Tripta Kaushal was arrested after surveillance footage captured her attempting to park her blue BMW SUV at a gym. As she pulled into the space, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward, driving up on top of two parked cars.
Kaushal then fled the scene without reporting the collision.
The video was picked up on websites around the world, with audiences declaring the incident the âworst parking job ever.â

Viewers had tears welling up in their eyes -- until they heard the father cry. So while it's usually wrong to laugh at others' pain, we say go ahead this time. We'll give you a pass.

An Australian community is being overrun by wild dogs, terrifying the residents. However, perhaps even more terrifying than the dogs is one resident's insane impression of the crazed beasts. He was interviewed by an Australian news reporter.

Poor Jesse James -- just when it looked like things couldn't get any worse for Sandra Bullock's beleaguered husband, a photo of him posing as a Nazi hits the Internet. In the photo, obtained by Us magazine, the Monster Garage star is seen in an S-S hat, giving a Nazi salute and holding two fingers under his nose to mimic Hitler's moustache. The pic was reportedly taken in 2005, when Jesse was dating Sandra. A source tells the magazine that Jesse is no Neo-Nazi -- he only "did it for shock value." Mission accomplished.
But that might not be the worst news for Jesse today. Life and Style magazine is reporting that Jesse and mistress number-one, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, had a foursome with another couple. The group sex ended in a hair-pulling cat-fight after McGee got jealous of the other girl -- Skittles Valentine -- because she was spending too much time with Jesse.

A mouse stealing a leopard's lunch.... Are you serious?
Seemingly unaware of the beast towering over it, the tiny rodent grabbed at scraps of meat thrown into the African Leopard's enclosure. But instead of pouncing on the tiny intruder, the 12-year-old leopard Sheena kept her distance.  After a few minutes she tried to nudge the mouse away with her  nose, but the determined little guy kept chewing away until he was full.
The extraordinary scene was captured by photography student Casey Gutteridge at the Santiago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire , England . The 19-year-old, photographing the leopard for a course project, was astounded by the mouse's behavior. Â He said had no idea where the mouse came from. Â He just appeared after the keeper had dropped in the meat for the leopard. Taking no notice of the leopard, the mouse went straight over to the meat and started eating.
Even when the leopard bent down and sniffed him, the mouse just carried on eating like nothing had happened. Even the keeper said he'd never seen anything like it before. The mouse continued to eat the leopard's lunch and showed the leopard who was boss. We can only assume that Casey received a grade of A on his project!
This story is from bloody England:
Georgina Phair, 26, poured petrol on the bonnet of Malon Kellyâs vehicle before lighting it, causing an explosion that shook the street and caused £4,000 damage.
Before the incident, Phair, of Cheltenham, called Mr Kelly saying: âYou are going to get it. Somethingâs going to happen to you.â
Mr Kelly had been trying to cool their relationship, Gloucester Crown Court heard.
Phair, who had been Britainâs entrant in competitions such as Miss Bikini World and Miss Tourism World and had also represented the country as a swimmer, admitted arson on November 31 last year.
She was set free, and here's why:
Dawn Brancheau, the trainer who drowned when the killer whale she was working with pulled her into the water by her ponytail and thrashed her about, will be laid to rest this morning in Chicago. Meanwhile, the killer whale shows at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida resumed Saturday with a video tribute to Brancheau and the trainers giving the whales cues from a safe distance, instead of touching or riding them.
Two teachers in Winnipeg, Canada are in deep trouble for a stunt they pulled during a high school pep rally last week.

Say hello to "Giant George", the world's tallest dog. The 250-pound Great Dane from Arizona is the tallest dog ever recorded, standing three feet and seven inches. From tip to tail, he's longer than seven feet!!! Can you imagine cleaning up the yard after this humongous dog?

Romanian Giuliano Stroe - who has been trained by his gymnast dad Iulian since he could walk - stunned TV viewers in his homeland by almost doubling the current world record of 12.
The body-building youngster pulled off 20 of the special press ups - where the legs never touch the floor - before stopping.
Giuliano became a worldwide sensation after videos of his strongman feats became a You Tube sensation.
Last year, he managed to get into the Guinness Book of Records after performing a jaw-dropping handstand stunt on an Italian TV show.
He performed the fastest ever 10 metre hand walk with a weighted ball between his legs in front of an astonished audience.
Dad Iulian, 33, explained: "He has been going to the gym with me ever since he was born.
"I always took him with me when I went training. But he's still only a child and if he gets tired or bored we go and play."
You must be really bored...you're actually wasting valuable company time to check this video out...enjoy!

This is embarrassing... for Oprah. Apparently, she didn't see the New Orleans Saints quarterback and Super Bowl MVP ever before in her life. Clearly, she had no idea what he looked like. She must not have watched the Super Bowl or she would have seen the birthmark on his face. She must not have seen any of the post-game appearances with Drew Brees or she would have asked someone about that mark on his face. She must not have cared very much about the interview to do the proper preparation. Fortunately for Oprah, Drew is a good-natured guy and he laughed off her attempt to clean his face. Watch:

Designed by the Italian jewelry house Damiani, it took 15 artisans about 800 hours to craft this one-off bra with an 18-karat gold harlequin-patterned net and embellished with 2,355 colorless and cognac diamonds. This diamond-studded stunner has a 16-carat heart-shaped champagne diamond pendant dangling in the middle. The best part, however, is that Marissa Miller is wearing it!
Lauren Johnson is a 12-year-old girl from Virginia who's dealing with the sneezing fit of all sneezing fits. Lauren has been sneezing non-stop for two weeks straight, which of course earned her a trip to N-B-C's Today show. It began with a cold, and now she sneezes about eight to 10 times a minute all day long.

According to data put together by the magazine Advertising Age, your choice of beer says a lot about you.
Here's what they found:
Budweiser -- Bud drinkers are sensible, grounded and practical. They also don't like authority and are 42 percent more likely to drive a truck than the average person.
Bud Light -- Very different from regular Bud drinkers, people who buy Bud Light are careless, with frat boy personalities, and are 48 percent more likely than the average person to play the lottery every day.
Michelob Ultra -- Michelob Ultra drinkers think highly of themselves and can be conceited. They care what other people think about them and want to appear perfect.
Blue Moon -- They are socially liberal, hate moral authorities and can also be sarcastic and snide in order to get a point across. They are also 105 percent more likely than the average person to drive hybrid cars.
Corona and Corona Light drinkers are busy and energetic people who are also extremely extroverted. Theyâre people persons who seek out the company of others whether in a group or just one-to-one.
I though Corona drinkers sought out the company of a beach and a sunset. Maybe Iâve been watching too many beer commercials. Heineken
Thereâs a slang term that could sum up Heineken drinkers: posers. These self-assured people believe they are exceptional, get low scores on modesty and high scores on self-esteem. They love their brand badges-a role the distinctive green glass bottle may play-and in fact, this group is attracted to luxury products in general. They are also energetic and dynamic and enjoy being both the center of attention and in the middle of the action.
Of course, you know the old expression â a Natty Light drinker is just a Heineken drinker whoâs been laid off. Craft Beers
This group is more likely to spend time thinking about beer rather than work. They are more open-minded than most people, seek out interesting and varied experiences and are intellectually curious. Craft-beer drinkers also skew as having a lower sense of responsibility-they donât stress about missed deadlines and tend to be happy-go-lucky about life.
ABSTAINERS
It probably doesn't take a psychographic profile to discover that those people who refuse to drink beer at all don't like to loosen up very much. They are socially conservative and see many issues as black and white. Teetotalers honor tradition and authority and prefer a less-hectic social life.
People who turn down beer are 50% more likely to call themselves Republican, and are 30% more likely to never buy organic products.

Okay this is my favorite story of the day: Matt Ziesel's touchdown run.Matt Ziesel, a freshman on the  St. Joseph Benton High School football team, has Down's Syndrome, and so hasn't played an any of the actual games, never mind scored a touchdown... until now. St. Joseph Benton coach Dan McCamy 's team had the ball but were losing 46-0 when he approached opponent Maryville High School's defensive coach  David McEnaney, asking Maryville to let Matt Zeisel, a 5'3", 110-lb running back, score a touchdown. Demonstrating great sportsmanship, Maryville agreed, and the moment is captured here in all its viral-video glory: Matt Zeisel's touchdown run.
