Kim Jong Un is deploying undercover spies to crack down on North Koreans getting breast implants. The A’s and the B’s are safe. The C’s are a little suspect. But the D’s are definitely getting looked at.
That’s a tough gig, getting a woman to admit she has fake cans. That kind of information a lady keeps close to her chest.

A 58 year old man in Pennsylvania who enrolled in Lycoming College has made their football team at nose tackle, making him the oldest NCAA Division III freshman. A GoFundMe has been started for his Icy Hot expenses.
If this isn’t a Bruce Springsteen song in the making, I don’t know what is.

A new review comparing hot yoga and conventional exercise found that hot yoga doesn’t quite live up to the heart health hype. So just because you twist yourself into a pretzel, doesn’t mean you need to bake while doing it.
I always thought “hot yoga” meant no ugly people allowed.

Gonna be a lot of Subarus headed to Oklahoma City that summer.

In a bid to boost morale and creativity, startups and tech firms in Silicon Valley are telling employees that wearing shoes in the office is now optional. If you walk into one of these offices, there’s just a pile of Birkenstocks at the door.
It might look like a tech startup, but it smells like a Footlocker.

Two firefighters in Maryland are facing criminal charges after flooding a high school baseball field due to a dispute over baseballs damaging vehicles and fire station property. These guys are gonna get hosed in court.

Top Swiss scientists say that Switzerland's glaciers have faced enormous melting this year, with a 3% drop in total volume due to the effects of global warming. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for glaciers. Not after what they did to the Titanic.

Mariah Carey addressed rumors of a long standing feud with Eminem, acknowledging that it started when she was tapped to portray his mom in the 2002 film 8 mile. Even in a movie, you’d never catch Mariah Carey in a trailer park.
Mariah Carey playing Eminem’s mom? Does she even know how to make spaghetti?

The NFL is set to launch both men’s and women’s professional flag football leagues in the next few years. It’s like the regular NFL but with way less CTE.
I don’t know why, if you watch any NFL game there’s already a flag on every play.

GENIUS AWARDS
AND TODAY’S GENIUS AWARD GOES TO……
Louisville, KY - Breanna Haynes faces criminal mischief charges after causing over $1,000 in damage to a Louisville Little Caesars restaurant over a $1 sauce fee.
Louisville police only arrested Haynes last week for the January incident at the 22nd Street location. According to authorities, Haynes placed a phone order and requested extra sauce when picking up her food. When staff informed her of the $1 charge, police say Haynes became angry and destructive.
Surveillance footage reportedly captured Haynes knocking items from the counter, including the computer register. The damage exceeded $1,000.
Police have not released additional details about what led to the delayed arrest or whether Haynes has entered a plea to the criminal mischief charge.
The $1 sauce is infuriating, we totally understand. How are we in this $1 sauce world??
This is a crime of passion and injustice... FREE BREANNA HAYNES.

AND THEN THERE’S……
FLAGSTAFF, AZ - A 13-year-old driver and 11-year-old passenger survived a high-speed crash early Tuesday near Flagstaff after stealing a Chevy Silverado from the Flagstaff Police Department around 1am.
The vehicle traveled on Interstate 40, crossed into oncoming traffic, and exceeded 100mph before the teen lost control. The car struck a guardrail, rolled multiple times, and hit a tree with such force that the steering wheel separated and landed 50 feet away.
Both children sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were hospitalized.
The 13-year-old's blood alcohol level measured 0.183, more than double Arizona's adult legal limit. The teenager faces DUI charges.
"We're thankful the kids are OK, but this could've ended way worse," the DPS stated. "Juvenile joyriding and underage drinking are extremely dangerous. Talk to your kids about the dangers of drinking and unlicensed driving."
This is terrifying to read, but that kid should be a stuntman to live through it.
Maybe the 11-year-old should have been driving!
