Fun Friday Factoids
Donald Trump guarantees he can defeat ISIS, Russia and China, but then meekly surrenders to Megyn Kelly by cowardly skipping the GOP presidential debate.
McDonald's is selling mozzarella sticks that have no cheese. They claim the cheese melted out of the sticks during cooking.
The physician who discovered Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in the brains of dead football players is willing to bet his medical license that O. J. Simpson has CTE. Well, O. J. is in a Nevada prison, maybe there's a sports book nearby willing to take that bet.
They're going to make new Delorean cars. Replicas of the one from 1985's Back to the Future. They will reportedly sell for $100,000 each. They will probably sell like hotcakes.
A female LAPD detective who was arrested for allegedly filing a false domestic violence charge against her former boyfriend is free on bail and "assigned at home with pay." Good duty while you can get it.
TMZ.com is reporting that a salon in Beverly Hills was robbed by a woman who "...snatched cash from the register, slipped it inside her vagina and tried to make a run for it -- but an employee stopped her until cops arrived." I guess their editor made them use the word vagina because he or she didn't want to use the word snatch twice in the same sentence.
Vin Scully is being honored by having Elysian Park Avenue renamed Vin Scully Avenue. That's pretty cool.
A tiger who befriended a goat rather than eating it got into a fight with his long-time friend. Fortunately the goat was rescued before becoming a meal.
A man who was being evicted for nonpayment of rent now faces homicide charges after the constable performing the eviction shot and accidentally killed his daughter. This one has to be read to be believed. NYT article
Porn star Ron Jeremy is trending at the moment. Only it has nothing to do with him. TN Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey is accusing state representative Jeremy Durham of having had an affair with a former state legislator. Politics does make strange bedfellows.
Ian Desmond was the regular everyday shortstop for the Washington National last year. He turned down a $107 million seven year contract extension in 2013 and then this past year turned down a one season qualifying offer of $15.8 million from the Nationals. No one has shown interest in him during the free agent negotiations thus far. Shall we start referring to him as the new Jody Reed? From Wikipedia on Reed's history with the Dodgers: Reed was offered a three-year $7.8 million contract extension by the Dodgers after the season but turned it down in order to become a free agent. He eventually wound up signing a one-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers for only $350,000 plus incentives.
Young women in one area in South Africa can get free tuition for college, provided they are virgins. I kid you not. Tuition for virgins
