I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY THE DEADLY CORN HUSKER SNAKE!


This morning I came out to my Jeep at about 3:30am to come to CD105.9 and there was a HUGH snake stretching from underneath my wife's minivan to under my Jeep! At first I thought it was a hose that was left out....but no is slithered under my Jeep and refused to leave. Finally, I got up the courage to confront the beast and with the help of my trusty garden rake I snagged the serpent picked him up and flung him into my neighbors yard. His grass is about a foot tall so it will be a good habitat for him.
So if you live in West Omaha be on the look-out for this deadly snake!!!!

NEW 2012 OLYMPICS LOGO CAUSES SEIZURES??


On Monday, London unveiled the logo for the 2012 Summer Olympics, which they're hosting. And there were two big problems: One, no one on Earth thinks the logo is anything but HIDEOUS. . . and two, it's causing SEIZURES.


An animation featuring the logo on the 2012 Olympic Games website had to be removed after the flashing neon colors caused more than 10 people in England to have epileptic seizures.

The London Olympic committee paid more than $800,000 to have the logo designed. . . it's supposed to be the numbers "2012" looking very diagonal and hip. . . but no one realizes it says "2012" until someone tells them. . . and it sort of looks like a SWASTIKA.

So far, the organizers are sticking with the logo. (Daily Mail / BBC)

CLASSIC PHOTO!!


We've got a photo for you today out of Fort Worth, Texas, that SHOULD simultaneously make you laugh, because it's AWESOME and cry for our country and the children who are our future.

At Trimble Tech High School in Fort Worth, a group of seniors were banned from graduation, because they failed the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test, which makes sure students have basic English and math skills before they graduate.

Some of the students who were banned, and some their parents, staged a protest outside of graduation. And the photo we've got is of a woman who, sadly, makes it very clear why her child DIDN'T pass the TAKS test.
She's holding up a sign that reads, "Let ARE kids walk." That's "are" spelled A-R-E, not O-U-R.

LOST SEASON FINALE TONIGHT!

The LOST season finale is tonight on ABC. In an interview Michael Emerson, who plays Ben. says that several people will die in the episode. Some of the deaths will be big stars....and there is a BIG twist at the end of the episode.

Boy I hope he's right. The show has been a little lame this year. To get me back next year it's going to take more than a cliffhanger about a new hatch or what food Hurley is stealing now.

PHIL SPECTOR'S CRAZY VIDEO

Here's the video Mary Nelson was talking about in the news.

Phil Spector, now on trial for murder, asserted in a 2005 home video interview the statuesque Lana Clarkson was standing when a gun was fired in her mouth and he is too short to have done it.
The video, broadcast Wednesday by the TV program "Inside Edition," also showed Spector offering US$100,000 to unnamed women to take a lie-detector test to prove their claims Spector threatened them with guns.



Watch the video here by clicking on Phil Spector's wild hair!

Mary and Troy signing the Marriage Certificate...yes they really do ask if you're related in Kentucky!
Mary's new brother-in-law, Tod, wearing an old pair of borrowed overalls... and loving it! He's either giving a thumbs up to the outfit, or the cabin where Mary and Troy were married - we're not sure.
Mary and Troy with a family friend. And no - that's not her wedding dress... though it was widely speculated at the reception that she changed into her lingerie early.
Mary insists... It was a real dress! Of course it was.

EVER WONDER ABOUT THAT 9/10 OF A CENT IN GAS PRICES?


You know how gas is always $3.09 and 9/10ths instead of just $3.09? It turns out that fraction of a penny is worth BILLIONS to the gas companies.

Here's the math, based on numbers from February. Gas stations sold about 373 million barrels of gas (372,833,500 barrels to be exact). Each barrel is 42 gallons. So, with each gallon pulling in an extra nine-tenths of a cent, that means, in February, those penny fractions added up to $140.9 MILLION.

Assuming that February's numbers can be used as a rough average for the year, that means the nine-tenths of a cent leads to $1.7 BILLION in extra revenue.

Normally I'm not a big baseball fan, but I love this story about Vernon Wells of the Toronto Blue Jays. Wells was being heckled by a group of Cleveland Indian fans and they kept yelling at him to throw them a ball. So Vernon did....with a very special message on it.

Wells wrote this on the ball:

"Dear Mr. Dork: Here’s your ball. Can you please tell me what gas station you work at so when you are pumping my gas I can come yell at you!!! Sit down, shut up and enjoy the game. Your favorite center fielder."

That's perfect! It actually turned the hecklers into fans and shut them up for the rest of the game.

GREAT CAR RESTORATION STORY



As you guys know I love classic cars and great stories about classic cars, their owners and cool restorations. Here's an awesome story about a '46 Hudson, a lost wallet and a grateful owner 55 years later.

Fifty-five years ago, in 1952, 20-year-old Glenn Goodlove was home in Washington on leave from the U.S. Navy. He had a date with a girl, and borrowed his grandfather's 1946 Hudson to take her out.

Anyway, the date was hot and Glenn ended up GETTING-IT-ON with the young lady in the backseat of the Hudson. In the process, though, his wallet must have slipped out of his pants pocket and gotten stuck in the backseat cushions.

Fast forward to this year. 61-year-old Jon Beck and 72-year-old Chuck Merrill, both of Twin Falls, Idaho, were looking for a classic car to restore. Someone sold them that same 1946 Hudson, which had been out of Glenn's family for decades.

While Jon and Chuck were restoring the car, they reached between the backseat cushions. . . and found Glenn's wallet. It had a $10 bill, a $1 silver certificate, Glenn's military ID, his Social Security card. . . and his HANDWRITTEN driver's license.

Jon and Chuck were able to track down Glenn. . . who's now 75 and lives in San Diego. They called him up. . . talked with him for a while. . . and now, they're sending him back his wallet.

That is soooo cool! The best thing I ever found while working on a car...WAS A CAR. I found a very old Matchbox Car behind the rear interior panel in '66 Mustang we gave away last year. I also found an orange "GO BOHEMIAN" button behind the rear seat in my '66 Cutlass.

EBAY GENERAL LEE UPDATE!


JOHN SCHNEIDER, who played Bo Duke on the TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard", has sold his General Lee...for nearly $10 MILLION.

The car was sold on eBay. And if the buyer does indeed fork over their winning bid of $9,900,500, it will become the most expensive item sold on eBay, EVER.

While John's car isn't the OFFICIAL General Lee from the TV series, it WAS used on the show at one point. It also includes the signatures of "Dukes of Hazzard" cast members.

UNL BOMB THREAT SUSPECT

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's police department says they have a person of interest in a bomb threat from last month. Police believe he made a threatening phone call from a convenience store in Omaha. While Lincoln police won't identify the store, Action 3 News did some investigating and talked with store managers who confirm their involvement in the investigation. We've agreed not to publish the name of the store as to not hurt the police process. They are hoping someone will recognize him from surveillance tape. If you recognize the man you are asked to call Lancaster County Crimestoppers at (402) 475-3600. A caller with valid information could be eligible for an reward.

THE HOFF IS STONE COLD DRUNK!

It looks like David Hasseshoff has fallen off the wagon again! This time his 16-year-old daughter taped him drunk. The Hoff says he told his family that if he every got drunk again to make a video of him so he could see how bad it was. Of course he didn't want it broadcast to the world. Hasselhoff claims his ex-wife must have released the video.

HUGH GRANT ATTACKS PAPARAZZI WITH BAKED BEANS!


HUGH GRANT got arrested the other day. . . on a charge of ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY SIDE DISH.

Police detained Hugh for questioning after he threw a tub of BAKED BEANS at paparazzi scumbag Ian Whittaker, outside Hugh's London-area home. Hugh also allegedly kicked the guy and kneed him in the groin.

Whittaker says he was in the neighborhood to get shots of Hugh's ex-girlfriend, LIZ HURLEY, who lives on the same street. When Hugh pulled up, Whittaker asked him if he would smile for some pictures.

That's when Whittaker says Hugh, quote, "kicked me hard three or four times and then kneed me in the groin." Then, Hugh picked up a Tupperware-style container of beans and chucked them at Whittaker.

If THAT wasn't enough, Whittaker says he informed Hugh he had two children, and Hugh told him, quote, "I hope they die of (effing) cancer."

YOU CAN OWN BO DUKES GENERAL LEE!

DUMBEST LETTER TO THE EDITOR EVER!


Workforce member Dave sent us a copy of a letter to the editor from the April 16th edition of the "Arkansas Democrat Gazette". . . and we can't BELIEVE it's real. . . mostly, because it's hard to believe that there's someone THIS stupid out there.


But, apparently, this letter to the editor is for real. It comes from Connie M. Meskimen of Hot Springs, Arkansas. . . who I'm sure is a lovely woman. . . she just doesn't quite understand the relationship between the time she sees on the clock and weather.


She wrote the paper last week to say, quote, "You may have noticed that March was particularly hot. . . this should come as no surprise to any reasonable person.


"As you know, Daylight Savings Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. (--Think about THAT for a second. . .)
