Bizarre Human Interest

food for thought

What would tabloid journalism be without occasional forays in to bizarre human interest stories. Though many of these stories involve people angling for reality TV deals. a reliable number are still health a lifestyle related. People have a natural interest in trying to learn to live better. Part of that learning process naturally covers what can go wrong in the attempt to live better.

Take the following story of a senior citizen. When he felt that something was growing in his lung doctors told him that it was probably cancer so prepare for the worst. However once they went inside they found small pea sprout growing inside his lung. Here's the story straight from Toronto's Metrodaily:

proof: vegetables cause positive cancer tests!


So eating harmful vegetables not only caused a positive cancer test result, but even required surgical intervention to remove the offending produce item! The remaining question is how could such a bizarre situation occur? It was probably by way of some high intensity nagging over improving diet and health. The only thing that saved this misadventure in health consciousness from becoming a catastrophe was the absence of medical malpractice - and you know that you can't count on that! So watch out for your health by avoiding dangerous vegetable intake. No one ever got a pork chop stuck in their lung, except on a couple of Simpsons' episodes!

hits and misses

Speaking of someone who could use some lifestyle consciousness, Tiger Woods has been having a terrible time. Since his game got skanked up the poor man is having a hard time even hitting the ball, let alone sinking them it. When he does hit the ball, it sometimes winds up hitting a spectator before it gets to the green. Now it appears that the poor man is even having some trouble hanging on to his club. Let's take a look see.


No word on whether the club got anywhere near a hole but I'd strongly doubt it.

America's Most Wanted

Tiger ain't the only famous person who's life is in turmoil. Flight attendant Steven Slater's life got flipped and turned upside down after a belligerent senior struck him in the head with her luggage. That lead to a beer fueled escape attempt from the rat race by way of the plane's emergency exit chute. Naturally that sort of thing can't be tolerated - if he gets away with it everyone will want to quit their jobs!So Mr Slater has found new rent free accommodations in one of the Bronx's finest correctional faculties. Now that they keep the poor fellow cooped up. They let him out to do occasional interviews, as in the following picture. Mr Slater is hustled through the waiting mob of paparazzi by an ABC News producer as if he were a football being carrying through a mass of linebackers.


This is an idea who's time has come! In the near future all celebrities might be detained in special detention facilities, and then let out for work and public appearances. It would save the trouble of having to repeatedly try them. Besides rehab facilities aren't designed to hold such unstable persons!
