While ciema buffs are wondering who will win an Oscar, skinema buffs are talking about the recipients of this year's Skinnies. The Skinnies are handed you by dermatologist Dr. Vail Reese, who runs skinema.com and rates celebs on thier epidermas. This year Joaquin Phoenix wins in the category for Most Striking Scar, while the Pale and Proud Skinny goes to Reese Witherspoon. "King Kong" and "Corpse Bride" both share the top honor in the Skin-Festation category for their best use of maggots. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie win the Dermatology Duo Skinny. "with such striking bone structure and toned forms, who would suspect that skin lesions would encircle this pair like so many moons"? The unknown computer technician who digitally erased the pimples off the cast of ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" wins a Skinny in the Technological Breakthrough category
 
FIRE AWAY--Dog-treat launcher hits market with bang :eek:

Beginning this month, dog owners will be able to propel dog treats up to 12-feet using a gun-shaped dog-treat launcher called SnackShotz. John Cullen, the director of marketing for Domatic Products, the company that produces SnackShotz, says it's time for dog owners to stop giving their pooches treats for something as simple as sitting, adding, "Dogs don't even work for it anymore" :( He thinks the launcher might actually help fight dog obesity because it stimulates activity and the special treats are low-fat. Cullen says the company does not recommend shooting them directly into a dog's mouth- :eek: this guy needs to get a real job and life- who would even think of this???? :eek: :D

Burglar solved math problems
A highly unusual break-in at a grammar school in Klæbu resulted in a bit of mental exercise.

The burglar(s) did not appear to be out after material gain. Instead of stealing, the intruder(s) sat down and began to solve the math problems intended for third grade students, newspaper Adresseavisen reports.

According to local law enforcement officials a good job was done and all of the problems were solved correctly.

There has been nothing reported missing or stolen from the school building and it remains a mystery how the intruder or intruders gained access to the school

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Deputy Ed Johnson was in uniform. He was also sitting in his marked patrol car. So he was a bit surprised when a man approached Friday and allegedly offered to sell him some cocaine.

Michael Garibay walked up to Johnson's car at a Mobil gas station and asked the Orange County deputy if he was "straight," according to arrest records.

When Johnson replied he was, Garibay responded "Do you know what that means? .... It means do you want to buy some cocaine."

When Johnson said "yes," Garibay pulled out a plastic bag containing "several pieces of flat white rocks substances" and asked for cash, records show.

The deputy took the bag and arrested Garibay after the contents tested positive for cocaine, the Orlando Sentinel reported on its Web site.

Garibay was being held Friday in the Orange County Jail on $7,500 bail for alleged possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

UNHAPPY EVER AFTER :(

Celebrate cupid with a divorce party!!! :devil:

Valentine's day can be difficult if you're going through a divorce, so a Los Angeles party planer is suggesting turning it into a reason to celebrate :lol: Christine Gallagher says divorcing someone is tough "even if you ditched them" especially because every other event--marriage-birth-graduation--has a ritual. Gallagher offers suggestions at ---www.divorcepartyplanner.com----citing one disgruntled divorcee who served a cake chopped in half topped with figures of a bride and a headless groom. The ggrooms head was baked in the cake and the guest who found it won a bumper sticker reading "who knew forever would mean a year?" Gallagher also says you can honor D-Day by seving banana splits and split pea soup, and suggests playing such songs as 'Burning Down The House" or 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore" :lol: :D :D OK-- weird again--

By ULA ILNYTZKY

NEW YORK (AP) - There is great embarrassment in your future. A box of X-rated fortune cookies was mistakenly delivered to a fundraiser hosted by a Brooklyn politician.

The 350 cookies stuffed with "the most graphically lurid" fortunes got mixed up with a batch of 1,750 cookies ordered for the Chinese New Year event, Borough President Marty Markowitz said Friday. Some guests "were stunned, to say the least."

The annual event - to raise money to send poor children to summer camp - was attended by some 700 guests Tuesday evening, but only about 80 were still there when the dirty cookies were opened, Markowitz said.

The borough president was on the second floor of the two-level restaurant when a guest "yelled to me from the first floor: 'Marty, did you order these cookies? Did you see what's inside them? I think you better get your butt down here!'" Markowitz said.

Markowitz, who was not wearing his glasses, had the "fortunes" read to him by some of the guests.

"I'm sure they were meant for a raunchy bachelor party," he said. "They were not cutesy. Triple X to say the least."

He said his office had given the restaurant 10 slogans about Brooklyn to insert into the fortune cookies, and 1,400 were delivered correctly.

They contained such G-rated boosterisms as: "Brooklyn - The 10th Planet,""Brooklyn - it's more than a freak'in tree," and "Brooklyn - it's like an everything bagel."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Airport baggage screeners found a human head with teeth, hair and skin in the luggage of a woman who said she intended to ward off evil spirits with it, authorities said Friday.

Myrlene Severe, 30, a Haitian-born permanent U.S. resident, was charged Friday with smuggling a human head into the U.S. without proper documentation.

Customs and Border Protection officials found the head Thursday, after Severe arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on a Lynx International Airlines flight from Cap Haitien, Haiti, said Barbara Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami.

"It still had teeth, hair and bits of skin and lots of dirt," Gonzalez said.

Severe told authorities she had obtained the package in Haiti for "use as a part of her voodoo beliefs," ICE Special Agent Erick Hernandez wrote in an affidavit in support of a criminal complaint.

"Severe also stated that the purpose of the package was to ward off evil spirits," Hernandez wrote.

Severe, who also was charged with failing to declare the head and transporting hazardous material in air commerce, faces a maximum of 15 years in prison if convicted of all charges, prosecutors said.

Severe remained held Friday in lieu of a $100,000 bond. She is due back in federal court March 2.

NEW YORK (AP) - A naked man ran onto the high-security grounds of the United Nations on Friday while a gate was being opened to allow a car to enter, police said.

The man was running north on First Avenue at 11:07 a.m. when he slipped through the open gate near 42nd Street, said a police spokesman, Detective Kenneth Czartoryski.

The man was stopped by U.N. security guards and held until police arrived. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital for psychiatric evaluation, said Czartoryski.

The man identified himself to police and said he was 32 years old. But because he carried no ID, police could not immediately verify his name.
