A space triangle worthy of Captain Kirk—Florida police arrested astronaut Lisa Nowak on charges of attempted kidnapping after a confrontation between her and another astronaut, Colleen Shipman Nowak, apparently upset that Shipman was having a relationship with a space shuttle pilot that she claimed, followed the woman through the airport and then confronted her in a parking lot. Shipman called police and Nowak was arrested. Police found knives, garbage bags, and rubber gloves in Nowak’s car and motel room. Nowak is married with three children and is not facing life in prison if convicted. Up next, Jerry Springer broadcasts from the moon.
Clothes make the woman—A study by Unilever found that a majority of women would consider forgoing sex for up to 15 months in exchange for a brand new wardrobe. Furthermore, 61 percent of women responded that it would be worse to loose a favorite clothing item than not have sex for a month. The study also suggests that clothes last longer than many relationships with women hanging on to certain items for up to 12 ½ years, longer than many relationships. It would depend on the wardrobe offered (a whole room (15 x 15, shoes included) from Soho designers or a closet full of Wal Mart).
I wonder if Anna Nicole will sleep with this lawyer—Trim Spa and Anna Nicole Smith have been sued in a class action lawsuit regarding the company’s claims that it can cause rapid and substantial weight loss. The lawsuit questions Trim Spa’s business practices. Trim Spa recently had to pay the federal government 1.2 million in fines regarding questionable science. Exercise more; eat less, the only way to go...or drugs and sex if you prefer the real way.
Wal Mart not so female friendly—An appeals court has ruled that Wal Mart will have to face a class action lawsuit brought by female employees of the retail giant. The suit alleges gender bias when determining promotions and pay. If Wal Mart loses, it could be the biggest payout in history as it is already the biggest class action lawsuit in history (approx. 1.5 million female employees).
Too much free time—You may remember the story reported last week regarding the “bomb” scare in Boston . One of the men charged with hanging up the devices, which turned out to be advertisements for Cartoon Network show “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” was spotted on surveillance cameras videotaping police and the bomb squad as the squad removed the device. He has admitted that he did not inform police that the devices were harmless and that he, instead, called Turner Broadcasting to inform them of the situation. Doesn’t this man have anything better to do, like I don’t know, get an actual job. I wish I could go around being a “video artist.”
And this is your news you can use!
