Potter is Dethroned
In a wierd turn of events Boxoffice Powerhouse Harry Potter was dethroned by the Adam Sandler and Kevin James movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry.
The funny part is that ‘Chuck and Larry’ is getting terrible reviews. Maybe all of the Potter fans are at home reading their books and not at the theatres. I bet you that the movie will be back on top next week after the diehards are done their last chapter.

Don’t Mess With This Circus Elephant
This elephant has been kicked around long enough…
An angry circus elephant in eastern Thailand grabbed a man who had provoked him and then stomped on him until he was fatally injured, police said Saturday.
Surat Kaenthip, a 30-year-old air conditioner repairman, had hit the six-year-old elephant while he was resting in an open field Friday in Rayong province, 90 miles east of Bangkok, said police Lt. Col. Thanit Saeniwong na Ayuddhaya.
“The elephant then grabbed the man’s body with his trunk and hurled him on to the ground before stomping on his body,” he said.
Rescuers were deterred from helping Surat because the elephant ran toward them in a threatening manner, Thanit said. They eventually succeeded in taking Surat away but he later died in hospital from a cracked skull.
Onlookers then managed to temporally placate the elephant by feeding him bunches of bananas, but he turned angry again, and dented a pickup truck parked nearby before his trainer — who had been away — returned and managed to calm him down, Thanit said.
The sad part is that this poor elephant is probably sick of being couped up and made to do things that he doesn’t want to do!
One Laptop Per Child Program In Nigeria Not Acheiving The Desire Effect
Nigerian schoolchildren who received laptops from a U.S. aid organization have used them to explore pornographic sites on the Internet, the official News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported Thursday.
NAN said its reporter had seen pornographic images stored on several of the children’s laptops.
“Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials,” NAN said.
A representative of the One Laptop Per Child aid group was quoted as saying that the computers, part of a pilot scheme, would now be fitted with filters.
How freakin funny is this. It just goes to show you that Porn is universal. It doesn’t matter what country you are from or your socioeconomic status, boys like to see naked women.
Naomi Campbell’s Dunkin Donuts Commercial
I am not that fond of Naomi Campbell. I think that she is a spoiled, pampered wench that thinks that us ‘commoners’ owe her something.
She recently did a Dunkin Donuts commercial that makes fun of her bad temper, which I think is cute. Naomi plays herself in the ad, which I don’t think is a stretch. She seems to play the villain quite easily.
Victoria Beckham’s Lumpy Legs
Please tell me this photo is photoshopped… actually, JUST JARED posted an update at the end of the story claiming:
These pictures have not be doctored or Photoshopped in any way, shape or form. Even UK’s The Daily Mail is reporting the same story with pictures from a different angle as well.
Victoria Beckham was seen heading up the stairs of a Beverly Hills Mansion when the camera caught this cavernous void in her inner left thigh.
I have NO idea what would cause this hole in her leg. Ewwww

Father and Son Discover $2 Million Viking Treasure
I always laugh at those people you see with the ground metal detectors…guess who laughing now?
David and Andrew Whelan had ploughed their field many times, but the best it had yielded so far was a few rusty old buttons until they decided to give it one more go.
That’s when a signal led them to a single coin, enough in itself for a satisfactory day’s hunting. But the Whelans kept on digging and unveiled a glittering haul of gold and silver Viking treasure.
It has been hailed as the most significant find of its kind in England for more than 150 years.
As well as shedding light on the way the Vikings lived more than 1,000 years ago, it is conservatively estimated to be worth around £750,000.
The Whelans are expected to keep half the value of the treasure, with the other half going to the North Yorkshire farmer in whose field it was found.
“It was a last resort really,” said David Whelan, 60. “We have been in that field several times and have found nothing more than a few pieces of metal and 90 buttons.
“We were sweeping and then I got a signal. I took a couple of shovels of soil and there was a stronger signal.
“I just kept digging. A ball of earth rolled out of the side of the hole and I could see a coin stuck in it.”
Then they dug the hole out to discover the rest of the treasure.
Unveiled at the British Museum, the ‘Harrogate hoard’ includes a decorated gilt and silver cup, 617 silver coins, a solid gold arm ring, brooch pins and various lumps of unworked silver.
Experts said the five-inch cup – which is decorated with animal motifs – was made in northern France in the 9th Century and was probably used in church services.
The coins date from the 10th Century and come from all over Anglo-Saxon England as well as from parts of Asia.
The necklaces, one of which is made of solid gold, are evidence that the hoard belonged to a Viking noble.
Barry Ager, curator of European objects at the British Museum, said: “It is an extremely exciting find, not just because it is the biggest and best for 150 years. The fact that the items come from all over the world shows the huge extent of the Vikings’ commercial links.”
Mr Ager said the haul would have either been amassed through trade or may have been looted.
He said it is likely that its owner would have buried it for safekeeping in 927 when the Anglo-Saxons under King Athelstan drove the Vikings out of northern England.
You don’t usually hear finds like this in a field. Usually a haul like this is found in the ocean.
