Olympic gold medalist Mack Horton says he had a mole removed after an observant fan
suggested that it could be cancerous.
The Australian swimmer, who won gold at the Rio Olympics, says a fan emailed his team’s
doctor encouraging him to have the suspicious-looking mole examined.
***And as a thank you, Mack SENT THE MOLE to the fan!
Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are said to have ended their secret relationship.
***Although I’m reporting this to you as news, so I guess the relationship wasn’t
all that secret.
Jared Fogle's ex-wife is suing Subway, claiming that they knew about his sexual exploitation
of children, but did nothing about it.
***Um… why is the ex-wife suing?
She can’t know that Subway knew about Jared, unless she also knew about Jared… at which
point, shouldn’t it be Jared’s VICTIMS that are suing, not his ex-wife?
In fact, if she knew, shouldn’t his victims be suing her for not stopping her husband?!?!
Justin Timberlake took a selfie in a voting booth and posted a pic of himself Monday at
the polling place.
The problem is that Tennessee law prohibits voters from taking pics in the voting booths.
Violators can be slapped with a 30-day jail sentence and a $50 fine.
***C’mon, Justin… you’re better than this.
It’s not like your name ends in “Bieber”.
This episode of Daily Dose of Weird News is brought to you by the audiobook, "Could It
Be True, Volume 1: Urban Legends", by Cindy Parmiter.
Urban legends are thought by most to be tall tales passed down through the ages.
Some of the stories are obviously make believe, while others, as strange as they may seem,
have their origins in actual events.
Do alligators roam the dark tunnels deep beneath New York City?
Do boogeymen who terrorize those afraid of the night really exist?
Are killer clowns a myth born from our fear of the unknown or could such evil truly walk
among us?
These are just a few of the urban legends that are explored in this book.
After hearing some of the history for yourself, maybe you will be able to answer the age old
question: Could it be true?
Available now just in time for Halloween!

The latest research shows that lying becomes easier with each lie because the brain physically
adapts to lying.
***That’s fascinating.
I was actually talking about this with my supermodel wife on our way to our vacation
home in Aspen in my Lamborghini.
The Parents Television Council is calling
Sunday's season premiere of The Walking Dead the most disturbing thing ever shown on television.
***It’s hard to believe every member of the council missed the last presidential debate.
Donald Trump said Tuesday he has no interest
in a Trump TV media venture should he lose the election.
Trump said, “I have no interest in Trump TV.
… I have one interest, that’s on November 8th.”
***Which makes perfect sense – because we all know the best way to show your disinterest
in something is to put your name in big, bold letters on it.
While we’re on the subject…
Twitter users have been suggesting show names for Donald Trump’s rumored "Trump TV" network.

"Extreme Hair Makeover;" "Law & Order: Deportation Unit;" and..."LOST," debuting on November
9th.
