The University of Hawaii has offered a scholarship to a quarterback who's 11-years-old and in
fifth-grade.
Titan Lacaden, quarterback for the Hawaii All Black Crusaders, has announced via his
Twitter account that he has received a scholarship offer to play for the Warriors.
***But he can’t play in any NIGHT GAMES since he's got a 10PM CURFEW!!!
Police in Florida are reminding folks to check any backyard pools they plan on diving into.
They made that statement after pulling an eight-foot-long alligator from the bottom
of a family’s swimming pool in Venice, Florida.
***On the plus side, no one was hurt – and the number of calls to 911 complaining about
neighbor kids climbing people’s fences to swim in their pools has decreased dramatically.
A fisherman has discovered the world's first two-headed porpoise.
***It’s name?
Well, “They called him Flipper, Flipper...
"
Seven young women from Spain have contacted police saying they were recorded by a drone
recently while sunning themselves on the deck of a boat in Mallorca.
***If you’re more than a mile out though, isn’t that considered international waters?
A report says that 10-million Americans have serious mental illness.
***Yeah...
I'm surprised the number's that low, too.
In case you missed the scorching temps outside, summer is officially here.
So when Hannah Pewee and her sister went to the Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
on Saturday, she dressed for the 90-degree weather - meaning shorts and a Nemo tank top
reading "Just Keep Swimming" with a picture from Pixar's Finding Nemo on the front.
But partway through their shopping trip, mall security told her she had to leave for wearing
an "inappropriate" outfit.
Allegedly, somebody complained.
The Woodland Mall later apologized to Pewee and said "they're going to revise their clothing
policy on their website so it is clearer what is and isn't acceptable."
***Give the girl a break.
She already has to go through life with the last name of Pewee!
Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea is being sponsored by (something called) “Potcoin,”
a digital marijuana currency.
***Of course, this whole trip would HAVE to be marijuana related.
After spending a decade as the "Most interesting man in the world" for Dos Equis, actor Jonathon
Goldsmith is now the spokesperson for Astral Tequila.
***Apparently being fired by Dos Equis drove him to the hard stuff.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi believes President Trump will “self-impeach” and
that Democrats should wait for the Russia investigation to play out before pushing to
remove him from the Oval Office.
***Self-impeach?
So he’ll cut his own head off so Kathy Griffin won’t have the chance to?
Here's some neck-deep irony.
In Kansas City, 71-year-old Lawrence John Ripple told a judge he robbed a bank because
of depression and that he wanted to get away from his wife.
Last September, Ripple went to the Bank of Labor - a block from police headquarters - and
handed the teller a note saying he had a gun and demanded money.
After he was given money, he sat down and waited for police.
A federal judge gave him just want he didn't want - six months of home confinement (with
his wife) and 50 hours of community service.
Court records indicate Ripple wrote the robbery note in front of his wife and told her he
would rather be in jail than at home.
Oops.
Sounds like he got the perfect punishment though.
Khloe Kardashian says her boyfriend Tristan Thompson wants to have "5 or 6" kids with
her.
***And thank goodness – because I’m sure we were all concerned that the Kardashian
family line might come to an end!
That Oliver Stone interview series with Vladimir Putin is being criticized as too much of a
love letter to the Russian leader.
***Especially the part where the two of them recreate their favorite scenes from La La
Land.
Falling for a phishing scam is pretty dumb...but it's epic when you're the CEO of a major bank!
Meet Goldman Sachs' CEO Lloyd Blankfein and Citigroup's CEO Michael Corbat!
The unsuspecting chief executives, along with Citigroup consumer-banking chief Stephen Bird,
responded to emails sent by a prankster posing as bank executives over the weekend, according
to both Goldman and Citigroup, though none revealed any sensitive information.
In fact, it seems the goal of the scheme was to embarrass the bankers rather than steal
information.
***Mission accomplished!
McDonald's says it will be hiring 250,000 workers this summer, some to wait on tables.
***McDonald’s waiters and waitresses?
Unless they’re stopping by to see if I would like a free refill on my French fries, I don’t
see the need.
And do they expect to be tipped?
What if you’re ordering off the Dollar Menu?
That’s like a 20-cent tip.
That’s not worth bussing a table for.
Stephen King says that President Trump has blocked him on Twitter.
***I don’t blame him.
You don’t need a horror writer stalking you online – Washington D.C. is horrifying
enough on its own.
Caitlyn Jenner says she would really like to play a round of golf with Donald Trump.
***Does Caitlyn use women’s clubs?
Is she barred from entering the men-only comfy lounge at the golf club?
Just wondering.
As artificial intelligence continues to develop we’re going to see machines do more and
more things humans can do — like fly jetliners and beat Ms. Pac-Man.
Yeah, Microsoft’s AI computer recently beat the game and scored a million points.
***It’s good to know artificial intelligence is being used for really important stuff.
