I wonder what kind of luck you have when you catch this “Silly Goose.”

BAR HARBOR, Maine — A rare two-toned lobster is seen in Bar Harbor, Maine. The lobster caught by Alan Robinson in Dyer’s Bay is a typical mottled green on one side; the other side is a shade of orange that looks cooked. Robinson, of Steuben, donated the lobster to the Mount Desert Oceanarium. Staff members say the odds or finding a half-and-half lobster are 1 in 50 million to 100 million.

I’d consider alot of things.. however.. not this.
So, after much ado and formalities, FIFA, the governing body for football, handed down their decisions for the Zidane head-butting that took place in the final match of the 2006 World Cup (scroll down to read previous reports.)
Read here for a good summary.. archived version here.
What’s hilarious is how poorly the Italians are reacting.. in fact, it makes them look like sore winners and cry babies. They may have played a little better than Portugal (masters of diving and whining), but Italian football owns the sole award for bitching off the field.
Here’s an online version of an Italian press article.. call up your event planner, someone’s got to plan a pity party for them. Geez.
I guess I wouldn’t care so much if I thought Materazzi to be a decent guy.. but he can’t even man up to what he said on the field. HE said that he never said a word about Zinedine’s mother. Unfortunately, it doesn’t make sense that Zidane would go off and wail on someone for talking about their sister.. not alone, but to speak harshly about a sickly mom, shits gonna hit the fan.
Screw Materazzi and the crybaby Italian coaches. If you had an honest player, I’d feel more for you, but if you’re going to stand by lies, then, keep bitching, it suits you fine.
Yesterday, my buddy Doug sent me this link to download the latest version of Adobe Lightroom.
So, I went to and have previewed it a bit. I believe that Adobe has a way to go in order to make it a program worth owning, separate from Photoshop. Since I am a avid user of Photoshop Elements, I wanted to see what the various specialists were saying. The results were varied and some coincided with my thoughts, but thats not the point. I ran across this link about how Photoshop orginially started. Very interesting. Enjoy!
he’d use this as his platform to prove he was right..

CORDELIA, Calif. — This photo provided by the International Bird Rescue Research Center shows an X-ray taken of an injured duck with a broken wing. The International Bird Rescue Research Center in Cordelia. Calif., plans to raise funds with the unusual duck X-ray, which they say shows the clear image of what appears to be the face, or head, of an extraterrestrial alien in the bird’s stomach. The center has come up with a way to turn its supposed alien encounter into a fundraiser for the center. It will auction off the X-ray on eBay. The image, which measures 17-by-14 inches, will be sold along with a certificate of authenticity. All proceeds will go toward funding the center’s rehabilitation programs. (06/05/06 AP photo)

Okay Xzibit, think you went a bit too far (and over budget) with this ‘pimped out’ plane?

MEXICO CITY — A Varig airlines cargo plane from Brazil sits parked at the Mexico City airport with its nose up in the air after the cargo was unevenly distributed. Brazil’s troubled flagship airline, Varig, is reeling under an estimated US$3.3 billion (euro2.7 billion) in debt and is currently in the restructuring phase of bankruptcy proceedings and, last April 12, some 300 Varig employees boarded a chartered jet to Brasilia, the nation’s capital, to call on the federal government to bail out the company, which employs 11,000 people.
