My Inner Old Lady

Okay, so I realized that I have not really provided much useless information yet. Here goes: only 17 people have ever been killed by sting rays (give or take a Crocodile Hunter). I am not making fun of Steve Irwin--in fact, it was only after he died that I realized that perhaps no one could ever HATE the Crocodile Hunter. He was not all there, that's for sure, and dangling his baby in front of a crocodile was not the smartest thing he ever did, but does anyone really have anything bad to say about him? All I can say is that I hope he had a good sense of humour and could see the irony in the fact that after spending the better part of his life chasing one of the deadliest creatures on earth, a FISH does him in. If it was me, I would have drowned from laughing under water before the sting ray poison could have killed me.

Next--did you know that eating marshmallows could kill you? Some lady entered a marshmallow eating contest at the Western Fair, choked on a mouthful, and subsequently died. If you are laughing right now, then shame on you. I have know ever since seeing Ghostbusters that marshmallows are evil. They are good for making rice krispie squares, and nothing else.

I just wanted to mention my favourite show, since everyone else is talking about their favourite shows, and I feel left out. Now that Rock Star is over, and I missed the beginning of the Amazing Race, I really only have one show that I watch. It is...wait for it...Coronation Street. That's right, while most normal people have an inner child, I have an inner old British lady! The show is more interesting and realistic than any American soap opera; there are no impossibly beautiful people you have to watch TRY to act; and you get the added bonus of dry British humour. What more could you ask for?

I know it's wrong to laugh at the misfortunes of others, and what happened to the Crocodile Hunter is nothing to laugh at, but you have to check out this clip...Norm McDonald is going to hell.
