Swimming; Olympics; Katie Couric; Napping Intern; Pizza by Machine; Flying Bum; Beaver's Advantage

Unbelievably hot!  No, maybe it's believable, since it seems to go on, day after day.  Maybe we will get used to it.

For those who may not have listened to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell me, I will attempt to give  you a taste of what you missed.  (By the way, to those who accuse me of not fact checking what I publish or forward.... I assume WWDTM has done the fact checking already.)

Swim Time

Some country, maybe Turkey, has banned ladies swimming in Burkinis.. this requires more investigation.

Rio Olympics Safety 1

The head of security at the Rio Games, got mugged outside of a stadium entrance.

Rio Olympics Safety 2

Some of the blue swimming pool water suddenly turned green.  Nobody knows why yet.

Anchor Lady

Katie Couric was interviewed and gave us these words: (Watchit!  I may misquote.)

"I started interviewing when harass was two words instead of one."

"I learned that 'gravitas' was Latin for 'testicle.'"

Nap Time

An intern at a corporation was fired when he set up a bed for himself right in the middle of the "open space"  office.  The bed had sheets and blankets.

This reminds me of what one of my programmers would of done if he had thought of it.  Instead, he took off his shoes and socks and manicured his toes for hours at a time.  (I fired him once, but the Administration had him reinstated.)

Pizza Everywhere

A cheesy hot pizza vending machine has been set up next to an ATM at Xavier University in Ohio.

Here's Lookin' atcha!

The Brits have developed a workable blimp that consists of two rounded storage tanks linked together.  People who have seen it up above them in the sky, have named it "The Flying Bum."

Waste Not, Want Not

A man with a prosthetic leg, lost the leg in a boating accident.  He could not find the leg.  However, two months later hikers found it as part of a beaver's dam.
