Kirstie Gains, Jessica Loses & Happy Birthday, Mr. Warmth
Don is 83 today and STILL WORKING! Good for him.
Happy Birthday, "W"!
Interesting little tid-bit of information regarding TODAY'S date. It was on this date, May 8 in 1944, that the first "eye bank" was established and opened in New York City. It closed shortly thereafter, because the night deposit slot kept creeping a lot of people out. (Alright, I made that last part up)
More's Mystery's fourth clue for Monday morning: This occupation was highlighted in the movie "The Perfect Storm".
Reuters is reporting today that some baby foods contain as much sugar and saturated fats as chocolate biscuits or cheeseburgers. This comes from a survey of more than 100 foods for babies and toddlers. Christine Haigh, a spokesperson for the Children's Food Campaign, says, "The results of this survey are staggering. Many foods marketed for babies and young children are advertised as healthy. In reality, in terms of sugar and saturated fat content, some are worse than junk food."
In a related story, this morning, actress Kirstie Alley publicly admitted that she's addicted to Gerber Foods.
Alright, I made that last part up. Poor Kirstie. She's really very pretty, and at one point, pretty slim. Then, she put on an enormous amount of weight. But then, she got a gig endorsing Jenny Craig, and sure enough, she lost all the weight she had put on. Now, People Magazine is reporting that she put all the weight back on again. Forget Jenny Craig, if she keeps it up, she'll be able to get a new gig endorsing yo-yo's.On the other end of that, Jessica Simpson has successfully lost the weight she put on. In fact, Jessica tells us she now has the same dimensions as the famous statue Venue de Milo. So, congratulations, Jess!
Of course, if you're interested in SAT scores, I'd go with the statue.
