Fun Stories 1!

Harvard Royalty:
Harvard students who are advocating a return to the founding principles of the university are also trying to get a Hapsburg royal to rule over the student body. Supposedly, that's going to help them gain an advantage when negotiating with the school.
Despite the fact that no American university has ever established a hereditary monarchy to rule over the student body, Waite says that this is certainly no obstacle.

'Harvard is always on the forefront of change. We can set an example,' he says.

Oh, Harvard. I guess Wesleyan students should start wooing the House of Bourbon-Parma. Wooo! Go monarchies! Back to colonialism we go!

Google Earth Spawns Terrorists Attacks: (again, a story I found from foreign policy. <3!)
According to the sole captured terrorist responsible for the Mumbai attacks, the gunmen studied Google Earth maps to familiarize themselves with the streets of the Mumbai financial center. Hm, that's so interesting. Assuming these people are slightly anti-capitalism (they DID attack the financial center of Mumbai), it's so ironic that these terrorists are using GOOGLE to further their cause. & Blackberries & internet telephone services to avoid detection. 

Watch out Apple, you're next. 

Triple Ms. No Joke.
I was watching TV a few weeks ago and this story about this housewife (?) who has had 18 plastic surgeries...8 of which were to enlarge her breasts to triple M. Don't believe it? You can google it yourself. Her name is Sheyla Hershey.

Kissing can make you go deaf.
A Chinese girl was kissing her boyfriend when she suddenly went deaf in one ear. Apparently they had an intense makeout session that led to her breaking her eardrum because of a sudden reduced pressure in her mouth. 

I'm not good with this kind of science, but man that sounds painful. :X

The Pregnant Man...is pregnant again.
He's baaack! With another baby!



Okay enough procrastination. I hope you were amused. Time to work!! :):)

  2. OMG. I googled Sheyla Hershey. Her breasts took up the majority of my screen.

    On another note, I will never kiss my boyfriend again. Thanks a lot, Sarah.
