The Burning Question

OK, here's what I want to know:

Why is it that you always seem to get songs that you really don't like stuck in your head? And furthermore, why do you always seem to know the lyrics?

Make it go away.....

Need a Good Laugh??

I'm blog-hopping, here, but this is about the funniest thing I have read in a long time. I have to share it. Enjoy "The 10 Worst Album Covers of All Time" with commentary by Pork Tornado (yes, I said "Pork Tornado").

How Much for a Ph.D.?

If this is your alma mater, you're outta luck now...

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (AP) -- The Pennsylvania attorney general's office Monday sued an online university for allegedly selling bogus academic degrees -- including an MBA awarded to a cat.
Trinity Southern University in Texas, a cellular company and the two brothers who ran them are accused of misappropriating Internet addresses of the state Senate and more than 60 Pennsylvania businesses to sell fake degrees and prescription drugs by spam e-mail, according to the lawsuit.
Investigators paid $299 for a bachelor's degree for Colby Nolan -- a deputy attorney general's 6-year-old black cat -- claiming he had experience including baby-sitting and retail management.
The school, which offers no classes, allegedly determined Colby Nolan's resume entitled him to a master of business administration degree; a transcript listed the cat's course work and 3.5 grade-point average.
The state is seeking a permanent injunction, civil penalties, costs and restitution for violating consumer law and restrictions on unsolicited e-mail ads.


Guess I should have done more babysitting when I was young - I could have skipped this whole "taking years to get your master's" thing. Ha!
