Rae & I popped into Cheeseburger In Paradise in Central Park last night for the Thunder Open Mic Night. The place was packed!! This thing is going so well, they've decided to extend it. So, if you have any musical talent, we'd love to see you at Cheeseburger any Thursday night.
Kristin Nash is off on vacation next week. Filling in for her for the Walk Down Music Row will be The Wack, Penny Wack.
We've been doing More's Mystery for almost 2 years now. For those of you who might not know, it's a little trivia-type game we play every morning shortly after the 7 o'clock news. I throw out a few clues and you see if you can determine who or what it is we're looking for. Sometimes it's a person, sometimes a place, or maybe even an event or whatever. Without a doubt, the More's Mystery we had this past Wednesday was the most difficult and the most talked about. It took over 90 minutes before a listener finally came up with the right answer. Here it is days later, and people are still asking me about it. We were looking for a city. In the late 1800's, a devastating fire destroyed more than 30 blocks in this city. The first name of the founder of this city is William. This city is known as "the divorce capitol of the country" because they have the most lenient divorce laws in the Unites States. The answer, in case you missed it, was Fargo, North Dakota. On Monday morning, once again, we'll be looking for a city.
If you're planning on committing a crime, I have the perfect location: Oslo, Norway. They recently announced that they'll soon be opening what they're billing as "the world's most luxurious maximum security prison". Each cell is a suite with it's own bedroom and a hi-def, flat screen TV. There's a climbing wall for exercise, a recording studio and $1.5 million worth of modern art throughout. The entire facility cost over $240 million to build. The Governor of Norway, Arne Hoidal, says, "We are very proud of what we have achieved. None of the windows have bars. Instead, they are made of unbreakable glass so that people do not feel too claustrophobic".
Yeah, because you would hate for prison inmates to feel confined.
I have to laugh at this guy, Hoidal, bragging about the fact that they don't have bars on the windows. Of course they don't. With a facility like this, why would they NEED to put bars on the windows? Who's going to want to leave?
If anything, they would need bars on the windows to keep people from breaking IN.
Finally, in the "the doctor is nuttier than the patient" department: We go to Kenton County, Kentucky, where Dr. Douglas Rank, a psychiatrist, has been charged with first-degree assault for stabbing a female patient with a sword. Here's a picture of the good doctor......
I think when he's not practicing psychiatry, he works as a Kenny Rogers impersonator.
Witnesses say they caught Rank looming over this female patient moments after he stabbed her. They were able to wrestle the sword away.
This guy's either nuts or here's another theory: This could've all been part of this woman's therapy. Perhaps she's under the delusion that she's a cocktail olive.
