Lost Tribe Not So!

Do you remember when just about every news media outlet was reporting on the lost tribe found? Well, not the case, lost that is. Apparently the authorities have known of this tribe since 1910. I was reading that the group that released the photo taken by José Carlos Meirelles was trying to call out logging industry. The logging industry is going to destroy this tribe if they continue to log in the area. Well, it worked the word is out.

Big Brown Or Jockey!

I just about this story on the wire and had a good laugh.  The horse’s trainer, Rick Dutrow Jr. is blaming Big Brown’s last place finish on the jockey - Kent Desormeaux.  Come on, are you kidding me!  Instead of honestly believing that the horse just didn’t have it at the end, we blame the jockey.  Here’s the kicker, the trainer doesn’t object to Kent Desormeaux riding Big Brown in the next scheduled race.  He wants to leave that decision up to co-owner Michael Iavarone.  What I think is that it’s no ones fault, the house ran out of gas.

Not Funny But True!

Fredric J. Baur - 89, the designer of the Pringles potato crisp packaging system was buried in one of his cans.  Well, not all of him.  Part of his cremated remains went in the Pringles container and two urns.  One urn was buried with the Pringles can and the other was given to a grandson, said Baur’s daughter, Linda Baur.  I have only one thing to say on this.  Mr Fredric J.Baur’s can idea was one of those greatest inventions, and will probably live on forever.
