Something is not right here. How do you throw away a picture of Jesus. At least give it away, take it to goodwill or something. Is it sacrilegious to throw away Jesus? I think it is...

Divorce + Pro Baseball

Kristen and I went to the doctor with Bella today and as we were going through some parenting magazines we came across this:

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, "The Northeast has the most ball clubs and the lowest divorce rate in the U.S."

Searching online I found this from Divorce360.com:

If you’re married and you live in a city that has a professional baseball you’re less likely to get a divorce than if you live in a city without a pro ball team. “You’re 28 percent more likely to get a divorce if you live in a town that wants a professional baseball team,” said Howard Markman, director of the Center for Marital and Family Studies. “Baseball is something couples can do together for fun. Baseball is a family-oriented activity, unlike the theatre. If you talk while you’re at the theatre they’ll kick you out. But you can go to a baseball game and talk to your hearts content and nobody cares, explain Markman. Couples who attend baseball games are more likely to stay together over the long haul than those who don’t.

I wonder if this goes to other sports as well. My friend Gdup wants to know the statistics of having 2 pro teams in your city if that helps. I say not if you a NY Mets and Yankees fan!

AP:Woman Turns Airplane Into Home

This is pretty cool. If I had 2 million bucks I would do something fun. I also think its funny that they have to airlift the pieces - that must be great for the environment.

Man gets ticket for going topless in public

Read this on Yahoo in Easton, MD.  For only the third time in five years, Easton police have ticketed someone for going topless in public. Sean Cephus, 18, was cited June 4 when police say he was spotted without a shirt on South Street near Hanson Street. He was also cited for failing to obey a lawful order to stop for police.

A town ordinance adopted in 1974 forbids anyone from going topless in public buildings or on public streets and sidewalks. Possible penalties are a fine of up to $100 and up to 10 days in jail.

When I first read the title of this all I could think of was big guy with boobs was given a ticket maybe because it looked like female boobs- then I read the article on Yahoo and thought it was even funnier!

Men fillet Charlie the Tuna statue in Oregon

CHARLESTON, Ore. - It turns out the fate of Charlie the Tuna of Charleston, Ore., was sorry indeed. The 8-foot Monterey cypress sculpture that used to greet visitors to the coastal fishing town was filleted by two young men who stole it as a prank and then, panicked they would be found out, took chain saws to it.

 

My favorite part of the story: A wake is planned Saturday at the town's visitors center. The Wild Women of Charleston and the Tuna Guys will offer musical moments. The remains are to be burned and buried at the center.

Mourners are invited to share stories about Charlie, and tuna recipes. 

I remember this one time I was so hungry and Charlie gave his life for my hunger-  After the wake tuna fish sandwiches will be had at the local diner.

Fly Derrie-Air

Click on the plane to view the article

As a marketing major I love stuff like this. Newspapers run ads about fake airline Derrie-Air. There slogan is "Where you pack less. Weigh less. Pay less!

The company ran ads in a variety of newspapers in Philly to "demonstrate the power of our brands in generating awareness and generating traffic for our advertisers, and put a smile on people's faces."

I would not be able to fly- I would have to do no luggage in order to fly on Derrie-Air. Great for models though!
