Totally Random

For some reason I'm having a hard time figuring out what to write about. So, instead of just writing about one thing, I thought I would mention a few random things I'm thinking about this morning:

1) Sarah Palin is apparently set to appear on Saturday Night Live this Saturday night. Here is the picture that CNN used to report this story:
Now maybe I just have babies on the brain, but it looks to me like she is pumping breast milk in this picture rather than simply promoting her SNL appearance. You betcha!

2) The world's largest "super-yacht" is apparently 160 meters long and named "The Dubai".
I'm not an economist, but I think the price of Middle Eastern oil might be ever-so-slightly higher than necessary if they can afford yachts that actually contain submarines. You read that right. That would be like buying a car that had a motorcycle inside. I know that I shouldn't be critical of the Middle East's excess. After all, look at all the positive things that region has done for the planet... like, umm... umm... actually, I can't think of anything.

3) CNN reported this morning that the song "Stayin' Alive might be more true to its name than the Bee Gees ever could have guessed: At 103 beats per minute, the old disco song has almost the perfect rhythm to help jump-start a stopped heart."
Apparently the University of Illinois conducted a study that demonstrated that 100 is the ideal number of heart compressions that should be performed each minute during CPR. As an interesting sidenote, Divinyl's "I Touch Myself" has the exact number of beats necessary for keeping busy on an otherwise boring and lonely Saturday night.

4) OJ Simpson is a fucking idiot. There's not any particular reason for this to come up today, but I was thinking about Saturday Night Fever and for some reason that made me think about Naked Gun. What kind of a schmuck commits murder, gets acquitted, and then commits another major crime over some sports memorabilia. He should get life and then the electric chair.
