Saturday Night ONT [Ben]

Caterday!

Let's all sit back and enjoy some cat photographs. Shall we?







Early NASA Astronauts Couldn't Afford Life Insurance

So they found a neat way to raise money.

So about a month before they were set to go to the moon, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin were locked into a Plexiglas room together and got busy providing for their families the only way they could — they signed hundreds of autographs.

In what would become a common practice, the guys signed their names on envelopes emblazoned with various space-related images. The 'covers' would, of course, become intensely valuable should the trio perish on the mission. They're now often referred to as " Apollo Insurance Covers."



Eastwooding New Internet Meme

Now, Eastwooding has become a photo challenge. Similar to planking, Internet users are uploading photos of empty chairs with the hashtag #Eastwooding.






The Government Is Suing the Navy Seal Author
I think their goal is to prevent publication. I guess the book end up in the Washington D.C. vault that contains the Ark of the Covenant, the original copy of Lt. Col Anthony Shaffer's Operation Dark Heart, and the made for TV movie The Path to 9/11.

Last night, the Defense Department's top attorney wrote a letter to Bissonnette threatening to use "all remedies legally available" against him for the publication of No Easy Day, his firsthand account of the mission to kill bin Laden in Pakistan. "You are in material breach and violation of the nondisclosure agreements you signed," wrote Pentagon general counsel Jeh Charles Johnson. The letter hinted at a criminal prosecution of Bissonnete for disclosing classified information and threatened to seize the royalties from his book and go after his publisher Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Group.


Anothr Fan Dies Falling In A Stadium
I said last night that I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. I didn't realize it would happen the next day.

20-year-old man from Tennessee who plunged about 35 feet from the upper level of the Georgia Dome and struck another fan during the Tennessee-North Carolina State game has died, authorities said Saturday.

The man fell on another fan seated in the mezzanine area during the game Friday evening, The Georgia World Congress Center Authority, which operates the downtown football stadium, said in a statement.


The Feds End Criminal Probe of Sheriff Joe Arpaio

The federal government has closed a criminal probe of alleged financial misconduct by Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio, who styles himself as "America's toughest sheriff," and no charges will be filed, the U.S. Attorney's Office said on Friday.

They are still investigating him for civil rights violations.


Apprently Mitch Hedberg Is Dead
I just found out a few days ago. I was wondering to myself as to why I hadn't seen him on tv in a while. A quick google search shows he died seven years ago. I'm really behind the times.

I don't think he's a great comedian, but I did find him funny. I especially like his delivery. Below is a special he did for Comedy Central.


Check me out on Twitter.
