A new detailed study of an old photograph shows Abraham Lincoln in a crowd at Gettysburg. What’s really troubling and ominous is that he’s holding up rabbit ears behind John Wilkes Booth.

Two workers at Citi Park, the future stadium of the New York Mets, suffered injuries because of unsafe conditions. How unsafe? A 14-game lead with 3 weeks left. You would think that was safe enough, wouldn’t you? But no, apparently it’s not.
The video game Guitar Hero is immensely popular. So popular, that in the latest version, a guitar actually saved the cheerleader and saved the world. So popular, you can get a sub sandwich with a guitar in it. So popular…okay, that’s enough.

David Hasselhoff may reprise his role as Michael Knight in a TV movie version of his hit series Knight Rider. There will be some notable changes, however. For example, thanks to gas prices, the new name will be Knight Hitch-hiker. Also, he has a son in the movie…a very special character known simply as “Designated Driver”. It should be exciting, because in the movie, the car KITT not only talks, but fights to the death with that British lady from Tom Tom. **
On the reality show The Bachelor, Brad Womack shocked everyone when he claimed he didn’t love either of the final two women. Networks actually welcomed the blunt honesty. So much so, they’re thinking of changing the name of another show to the more appropriate “Dancing with the Has Beens”.**

Republican candidate Mike Huckabee announced he’s bringing Chuck Norris with him to the next debate. This brings us one step closer to what many Americans want to see in politics…cage fighting.

And the winner will carry the most impressive title in the world…Ultimate Fighter President.**
China is currently conducting an extensive lunar probe. What’s most remarkable about their journey…the man in the moon now has lead poisoning.**
