Today I picked up a copy of my favorite scandal sheet: The New York Post. As I've said before, they hate Hillary and report nasty things about her. However, they also print what I consider interesting news that other "newspapers" do not think is important. Since I know that people who I know who read this blog might not read a copy of the Post, I will here list a few items from today's edition.
Gas Pumpers Explained
New Jersey is the only State to not have Self Service gasoline pumping. I have always wondered why. The Post quoted Governor Chris Christie who said that he had polled the situation many times and the results showed that 78% of New Jersey women were opposed to self-serve gas, while only 52% of men were against it.
I have always thought that if self-service gas was discontinued in all of the states, it would give a lot of unemployed folks jobs. Elevator operators also.
France says OK to Burkinis
France's top administrative court has now overturned a ban on burkinis. These bathing outfits cover the female body, except for the face and hands. The ruling is welcome to the Moslems in France. I can't understand what the problem was in the first place. Liberte? Why can't anyone wear anything they want to as a bathing suit... or none at all. We all know that topless and nude bathing takes place on the Riviera. Shakespeare wrote about it: Much ado about Nothing.
Horny Burglar
A crook broke into a New York novelty store and stole the top half of a busty sex doll. He also stole handfuls of lubrication oil and some sex toys.
Protect those Cows
In India, there was concern recently about how to stop cows from causing automobile accidents, so they came up with a great idea: they put bright stickers on the cows' horns. I would have expected it would be better to put stick-on lights on the cows' bodies. I think that would make them more visible.
There are probably udder ways to solve this problem.
Boobs for Boobs
The PrimaDonna bra making concern in Belgium had special weight-bearing harnesses made to simulate what it would be like to have big boobs. They required their male employees to wear these imitation boobs for an entire day. Designed to make men more appreciative for the problems of the women they serve, the company called the day "The International E-Cup Day for Men."
His Nickname is "Lucky"
A Florida man has survived three normally life-threatening situations in the past four years. First he got struck by lightning, next a venomous spider bit him, and the other day, a five-foot rattlesnake dug its fangs into his leg.
Here's Pie in your Eye!
Domino's Pizza has started a drone-delivery service in Auckland, New Zealand. Amazon and Google have made plans to make deliveries by drone. Quote from Reuters: "In the US, drones will be allowed to make deliveries from Aug. 29, butt not across state lines or over people."
More on "Making a Murderer"
Steven Avery's lawyer is seeking permission to do extensive DNA testing to prove that Mr. Avery did not kill Teresa Halbach. He is serving life for the crime. He insists that the authorities framed him. His case was featured in the Netflix documentary series: Making a Murderer.
The young man who confessed to being a witness to the murder and later recanted, was recently released from prison because his confession was judged to have been forced on him by the police.
KFC Recipe Still a Secret?
The Chicago Tribune recently published a recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken, provided to them by a nephew of Colonel Sanders. The KFC company says that the recipe containing 11 herbs and spices that was shown to the newspaper is not "the real thing."
