Judge kills suit claiming ‘crunchberrries’ aren’t real fruit

“This Court is not aware of, nor has Plaintiff alleged the existence of, any actual fruit referred to as a “crunchberry.” … A reasonable consumer would not be deceived into believing that the Product in the instant case contained a fruit that does not exist. . . . So far as this Court has been made aware, there is no such fruit growing in the wild or occurring naturally in any part of the world.”

“Plaintiff did not explain why she could not reasonably have figured this out at any point during the four years she alleged she bought Cap’n Crunch with Crunchberries in reliance on defendant’s fraud.”

I too would like to win the lottery but, not at the expense of the Cap’n. PAK

Former ‘Top Gun’ leads Hubble repair mission

Altman is not one to brag about his flying in “Top Gun.” The U.S. space agency, NASA, doesn’t mention his film heroics, either. But Altman is in one of the movie’s most memorable scenes. While flying upside down, inverted, Altman gives an obscene gesture to the pilot of an enemy plane.

“They said go ahead and gesture at the other airplane,” said Altman, 49, with a smile. “So when you’re looking at the scene where he’s communicating with the Russian, or the bad-guy pilots in the movie, that would be my finger.” (Story Link: CNN)

Q? How do you top flipping of a Soviet in an F14 while doubling Tom Cruise?

Two words: Shuttle Commander!

Communicating indeed. PAK

What I Have to Say about That…

President Barack Obama ended up in the middle of an unlikely controversy this morning — the debate over Miss California’s position on gay marriage.

At a press conference addressing Carrie Prejean’s disputed title in the Miss USA competition, pageant owner Donald Trump compared Prejean’s stated views on gay marriage to Obama’s. (Politico: link)

There is plenty I don’t know about marriage. But I will say this; the “sanctity” of my marriage does not come from whom is allowed (or not allowed) to wed. In fact I find Ashly Madison far more offensive than any of the same sex debate. I do find it funny that we (evangelicals) spend so much energy debating same sex marriage but that according to a 1999 study (reported by the Dallas Morning News) divorce rated higher amongst Christians than non-Christians. The sanctity of my marriage comes from a vow/commitment I made before God NOT whether the US Government says it was OK. ~PAK

Beck’s just released the very beer for these guys to make a toast to on their idea. While it’s not tech or a brew any macho male would be caught dead swigging in public, the occasion certainly merits drinking to it for now (cnet: link)

Eating a vulture won’t clear a bad case of syphilis…

..nor will a drink made of rotting snakes treat leprosy, but these and other bogus medical treatments spread precisely because they don’t work. That’s the counterintuitive finding of a mathematical model of medical quackery. (link)
