I read this earlier today, and meant to blog it, but got busy and missed it. This is News of the Weird type stuff:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – An Israeli woman’s breast implants saved her life when she was wounded in a Hizbollah rocket attack during Israel’s war with the Lebanese group, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday.
Doctors found shrapnel embedded in the silicone implants, just inches from the 24-year-old’s heart.
“She was saved from death,” said a spokesman for Nahariya Hospital in northern Israel. The woman has been released from hospital
That last headline kills me. That is just … Wow. Brilliant!
Makes me wanna hire Matt Crenson, AP National Writer, and take advantage of his superior intellect. I mean, with brains like that, he could be a Senator!
Dan at SouthSEO (which may be under construction at the moment) sent me a link to hilarious fan film, featuring Darth Vader as supermarket manager (tip to The Age).
On that note, don’t forget to check out the Vader Sessions — link courtesy of another The Age reader. Someone did a great job re-dubbing the original Star Wars with audio from other James Earl Jones movies.
The best bit comes in when Vader goes to get the TIE Fighter pilots to help him take out the Rebel fighters in the trench: “I’d like to maintain the current level of Black representation on the committee… so let’s go for a stroll.”
Harry Shearer dropped a great video clip of Ann Coulter on his blog. Apparently, like many of her frequent targets — Kerry & company — she’s also unfamiliar with how Cameras work.
