A 21 foot, 2,370 pound crocodile was captured after a three week hunt by villagers in the Philippines. The one-ton beast is considered by most to be the world’s largest crocodile.
Villagers believe the crocodile killed a water buffalo and attacked a fisherman during the last month. As it is against the law in the Philippines to kill crocodiles, the beast will star in an exhibit at an ecotourism park.
The crocodile is named Lolong and locals believe their is an even larger one lurking in the nearby waters.
Check out this incredible video of Lolong that was posted on YouTube.
Yes, Sarah Palin is running. Actually, it doesn’t appear she ever stopped. The former governor of Alaska and perennial potential presidential candidate made a rare unannounced stop when she ran in the “Jump Right in and Run” half marathon in Storm Lake, Iowa.
Palin finished second best in her age group with a time of 1:46:10 in the race, which was organized by the Storm Lake Running Club. She ran under her maiden name of Heath and listed her hometown as Des Moines, Iowa.
Greta Van Susteren was the first person to post a picture of Palin running. The Storm Lake Running Club later confirmed that Palin ran in the event and Palin thanked Storm Lake in a tweet.
It is still quite the achievement in the music world to have a song hit number 1 on the charts, and that’s exactly what Maroon 5 did last week with their latest single “Moves Like Jagger” ft. Christina Aguilera.
The accomplishment is notable for a variety of odd reasons. Let’s go through them one by one.
1. For Maroon 5: The rock band has not had a number 1 since 2007’s “Makes Me Wonder.” This puts them back on top again.
2. For Christina Aguilera: The singer has not had a number 1 for ten years since 2001’s “Lady Marmalade” with Lil’ Kim, Mya and P!nk. It is her fifth number one hit overall.
3. For Adam Levine: The Maroon 5 frontman becomes the first artist to have a number one hit with a band and place another song in the top 10 as a soloist in the same week. He contributed vocals to the Gym Class Heroes‘ “Stereo Hearts.”
4. For Mick Jagger: The Rolling Stones frontman becomes the first musician ever to have had a number 1 hit and to have their name mentioned in a number one hit. The Rolling Stones had 8 number one hits in the 1960s and 1970s. This achievement doesn’t apply to “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” by the Temptations since it didn’t refer to Jagger’s band specifically.
Overall, Jagger becomes the fourth musician to have his name appear in a number one hit. The others:
Tone-Loc (1989): “Funky Cold Medina” (Cold coolin’ at a bar, and I’m lookin’ for some action / But, like Mick Jagger said, I can’t get no satisfaction)
The only other celebrity to have their new appear in a number one hit that I can find is Bette Davis whose name appeared in Kim Carnes’ “Bette Davis Eyes.”
In what seems like a decision designed for late-night comics, the judge held that article 215 of France’s civil code, which holds that couples must have a “shared communal life,” also includes sexual relations.
The woman filed for divorce two years ago and blamed her husband’s lack of sex as the reason for it. The man responded that “health problems” and “tiredness” prevented him for being more active in bed.
The €10,000 serves as damages awarded to the woman for the lack of sex during their 21 years of marriage.
“By getting married, couples agree to sharing their life and this clearly implies they will have sex with each other,” the judge wrote.
Let’s face it; Seattle gets a really bad rap when it comes to weather. People think it’s always rainy, misty and miserable here. Now, admittedly it does rain an average of 150 days a year and the city is partially covered by clouds on 201 days on average.
With that said, it is not always rainy and miserable here. Oh, contraire. I’ve been back here for three weeks and it has rained a grand total of once. It has been cloudy once. The other days it has been 75 and sunny. Here’s an example of the daily weather:
So while the rest of the country, from Texas to Chicago, has been languishing in temperatures over 100, we’ve been enjoying 75 and sunny. Every single day.
