Valentine's Day Babble 11

It's a lovely sunny day here in LA, suitable for the ministrations of St. Valentine...

Top 5 Valentine's Day Tips:
5. Call your parents. Moms and Dads expect a call on V-Day. No one knows why.
4. Don't give your pets candy. It seems like a cute idea, but it's not...
3. Don't send V-Day requests or cute e-'animals' on Facebook.  That's irritating...
2. Never give your loved one cheap wholesale boxed candy, unless they have a solid sense of humor.
and,
1. Avoid dark, abandoned garages ... (only slightly more dangerous than #2)

China solves over-population
It seems that the world's most densely populated country has come up with a solution to overcrowding - breeding smaller people!  World news was lightened yesterday by a story about a 26 inch tall 'fully mobile' Chinese man.  If the process can be perfected, enough energy and space can be saved to allow a quintupling of the current world population - or - the current world population can move to California.

Michael Phelps - Public Enemy #1  in Columbia
Columbia, South Carolina, that is.  It seems the Sheriff thereabouts is investigating the Golden Olympian as a result of those photos showing him sucking on a bong.  There must not be much in the way of real crime to occupy the Sheriff's attention, but public sports figures do make good publicity for ambitious district attorneys.  After all, it's been a while since law enforcement in the Carolinas have had prominent sports figures to prosecute.  Not since the Duke Lacrosse Team.

Wherever you are in the world today, remember to kiss your special loved one and let them know you care.  If you are 26 inches tall, get a picture standing on a ladder giving a kiss, or your loved one bending over to plant one on you.  But if you are a sport celebrity in the Carolinas, don't take pictures...
