Greetings and Salutations, People:
Gloomy Day in
Denver: Mimi the Elephant, at the Denver Zoo since 1961, passed away on
Tuesday.
We could have
had The A’s, Orioles and Nationals in the Final Four, which would have been as
fun as it was squirrelly. Instead, we get the last three teams to win the World
Series and the Tigers, which is decidedly less fun. The 4 teams remaining have
been to the World Series 86 times and have won 48 titles.
The Cardinals
are like Carl from Walking Dead. Everybody wants them dead but they won't
comply.

Took the sticker off a banana, put it on my shirt and said, "I hereby deputize you to uphold the law in Bananatown!" Elevator is silent now.

Naples, FLORIDA - Florida police are investigating a
highly unusual stabbing that took place Tuesday evening. A man reportedly
crashed a young girl's birthday party, wielding a machete and attempting to
steal beer.
The Naples News reports that the 42-year-old father was
hosting the party for his daughter when the man, described as an acquaintance,
showed up and started loading beer into plastic bags and attempted to ride away
on his bicycle. When the host tried to stop him, he pulled the machete from his
waistband and swung the it at the birthday girl’s father, clipping his right
pinkie finger "until it dangled."
The finger was cut at both the bone and the tendons.
Thankfully, Doctors at Physicians Regional Hospital were able to reattach the
man's pinkie finger with stitches.
Munich, GERMANY - A man in southern Germany has been
reunited with his car two years after forgetting where he parked. After a night
of drinking in December 2010 and an unsuccessful search the next day, the
vehicle's owner reported his car as missing to the Munich police.
Authorities discovered it by chance last month after a
traffic warden noticed that its inspection stickers had expired - 4 km from the
spot where the now 33-year-old craftsman originally thought he had parked.
"The weird thing is that it turned up so far away,
although the owner was pretty sure of where he had left it," said police
spokesman Alexander Lorenz.
In the trunk were 40,000 euros ($51,600) worth of tools
including power drills and electric screwdrivers, Lorenz said.
FLORIDA: Florida Governor Rick Scott was providing an
update on a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday
when he announced what he said was the hotline's toll-free phone line. Small
problem: He gave out the wrong number. Larger problem: he gave out a phone sex
hotline number to Floridians seeking information on a deadly fungal meningitis
outbreak.
The governor's office was alerted by a public radio
station in Tampa, WUSF, which was monitoring the cabinet meeting and posted the
number on its website.
The station said it was "quickly notified by a
reader that the number instead connected to an adult telephone line."
Since the outbreak began, 138 people have contracted
meningitis and 12 have died, including one in Florida, according to the latest
tally from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
