The Sixers have won 7 in a row … just in time to barely miss the playoffs.
1. On police saying they caught an 8-year-old trying to sell marijuana to other children at a counseling center:
“My god, when I was 8, I was collecting Mork and Mindy trading cards.”

2. On a man who has 20 entries in the Guiness Book of World Records beginning an effort Sunday to bowl for one week or 168 hours straight, shattering the 100-hour record he set in 2005:
“When I read this story, it really ‘bowled me over.’”
3. On Osama Bin Laden celebrating his 50th birthday this weekend:
“Here’s wishing that if he is indeed still alive, that this will be the last one he celebrates alive.”

4. On a Connecticut man who is wearing a ski mask around town to prove that not everyone who dons one is a criminal:
“Sometimes people have a little to much spare time on their hands.”

5. On a man who asked his girlfriend to marry him — on a home-made film shown at his packed local cinema:
“Um, dude … you’re ruining it for the rest of us.”

6. On British people who don't want to sign up to the voluntary ID card system not being allowed to have a passport:
“This makes about as much sense as our country’s NASCAR fetish.”

7. On West Virginia teachers asking for a 6% pay raise, and West Virginia Legislature saying no because the state can't afford it -then they turn around and give themselves a 33% raise:
“Stories like this make me wonder why politicians get such a bad rap in this country.”

8. On a Mexican university professor saying that extraterrestrials walk among us and helped him with several of his medical breakthroughs:
“Florida State is interested in making this guy the Dean of their University.” http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Frontpage/2007/03/09/01404.html

Sixers: Really trying to screw up their draft.
1. Nate Newton has an 8-year-old?
2. That takes some balls.
3. May he celebrate with Saddam.
4. That's like the first-day prisoner claiming to be innocent.
5. Hope he doesn't show the video of his wedding night.
6. Why not use British dental records instead?
7. Somehow you don't expect either West Virginia teachers or politicians to merit those raises.
8. !Mas tequila!
Wait, I didn't even know what pot was at the age of eight. But if someone was selling that yummy grape Dimetapp behind the bleachers I just might've jumped.
I'm not havin' an ID card so I'll have to smuggle meself around in a large trunk or some'at.
HOw is it voluntary if it's actually mandatory? Crazy brits.
Sad news to post:
Richard Jeni, dead at 49
The standup comedian, a frequent Tonight Show guest, died of a gunshot wound Saturday in Los Angeles, an apparent suicide. In addition to his many stops by Johnny Carson's (and, later, Jay Leno's) late-night show, Jeni appeared in the movies The Mask and The Aristocrats, had guest spots on TV shows including Married... With Children and Everybody Hates Chris, and was a writer on the 2005 Academy Awards.
