Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)
SAO PAULO – Every Friday night for 23 years, Zeli Rossi has traded his bed in Brazil's southeastern state of Minas Gerais for a coffin.
Rossi’s sleeping habit became public last month when his 14-year-old grandson wrote a story about him for his school's newspaper.
Rossi says he sleeps in the coffin to honor a deceased friend.
Long ago, the two promised each other that whoever died first would have his casket bought by the other. Rossi's friend bought him a coffin when he mistakenly thought Rossi had died in a 1983 car crash.
When the friend died in 1988, Rossi started sleeping in the coffin to honor his memory.
And he also kept his promise to buy the dead friend a "brand new" casket.
FARIBAULT, Minn. – An 11-year-old Minnesota boy has made an astounding hockey shot — sending a puck into a tiny hole 89 feet away.
The shot at a charity game should be worth $50,000, but there's one problem: Nate Smith was standing in for his identical twin, Nick.
Nick Smith says he was outside when his ticket was drawn to make the shot Thursday at the charity game in the southern Minnesota city of Faribault (FAIR'-boh). So, his brother stepped in.
Nate Smith says he was "stunned" when the puck went in.
Their father, Pat Smith, told organizers Nate, not Nick, made the shot. He says honesty is the best policy.
The company that insured the raffle hasn't said yet if it will pay.
ROME – Undercover police have donned togas, capes and sandals to stop a turf battle among Italians who impersonate gladiators outside the Coliseum and other landmarks in Rome and make money by posing for camera carrying tourists.
The trade has been tolerated for years, but that was before about 20 of the practitioners began assaulting and intimidating their competitors to take over lucrative tourist spots such as the Coliseum, the Forum and the Vatican, officials and police said Friday.
So police decided to intervene disguised as gladiators, garbage collectors and tourists, but their operation at the ancient arena and the nearby Piazza Venezia wasn't easy.
On Wednesday, police impersonating gladiators were attacked when they told competitors to leave the scene, but police dressed as garbage collectors and tourists came to their rescue.
One suspect demanded the money a woman tourist had paid for a photo of herself with a gladiator, but it turned out the pair in the photograph were both undercover officers.
Italian media carried photos or TV footage showing a handcuffed gladiator being taken away and a policeman pretending to be a tourist wrapping an arm around a gladiator's neck.

And the worst…The Message Board was out for a full day this week.
Sports Authority Field at Mile High
Why I love the Dan Lebatard Show – Jay Glazer hates clowns (Clips 33 and 34)
Why does the world hate Cousin Brandon?
What is going on with Miami Football?
Ikea – Can someone explain the passion??
The Hunger Games: Good book series, especially the first book.
Something to think about:
1. White is a weird favorite color
2. Snickers Peanut Butter – Really good
3. Whispering is really annoying
4. No one wants to drink from a yellow tumbler.
5. Biggest waste of time ever? Man named Jon counts to 100,000 on YouTube. It took him 78 hours. He missed 999,991. He also fired off 5 Confetti Poppers once he was done, then he turned off the camera. Why would someone do such a thing? (Not all in one take, it took 77 hours total, and he spread it out over 3 months.)
6. Has anyone ever gotten violently angry when a waiter asked, “Is Coke Okay?”
7. Porcupine Sex – The most careful thing in the world.

He-Man Movie Watcher’s Club:
Rubber
Weird opening scene with the geeky dude waiting for the cop with all the chairs set up in the road, and the car knocks them all apart.
Tire comes to life, learns what it’s like to crush by smashing a plastic bottle, then a scorpion, then learns to use it’s telekinetic powers.
Blows up a dude’s head.
Kid who sees what it’s doing gets bossed around by what must be his dad, and also possibly the worst actor on the planet. Kid puts exploded crow parts on his pizza…”Here’s your double toppings.”
The “audience” is all poisoned to death by the turkey. The same turkey that shows up in the weird guy’s motel room.
Tire watches a tire fire and then goes on a rampage, only stopping to watch NASCAR.
Blows up the head of the crippled old guy who is “Just a spectator”
