A SHARK AT THE ATLANTIS RESORT IN THE BAHAMAS JUMPED OUT OF ITS AQUARIUM . . . AND INTO THE HOTEL POOL:


At the risk of sounding dumb . . . do you think animals understand the concept of suicide?

--I ask because on Tuesday, a shark at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas somehow leaped out of its tank and onto a nearby water slide . . . which led to the hotel pool.

--According to a statement released by the resort, quote, "a 12-year-old reef shark jumped over an 18-inch wide and one-foot high sustaining structure into the resort's Leap of Faith water slide.

--"Once the shark fell onto the slide and into the chlorinated water, it was in significant distress. The Marine Aquarium Operations team responded immediately and was able to . . . return the animal to the main marine habitat in an attempt to resuscitate her.

--"Despite the team's best efforts to recover the animal, it DIED shortly after the occurrence . . . The entire team at Atlantis is saddened by the loss of this animal who had resided in the Atlantis marine habitat for over ten years."

--The pool wasn't open at the time, and no one was injured (--other than the shark). (TMZ)

Doctors in Colorado found a fully-developed foot growing in 3-day-old Sam Esquibel's brain.















A BABY IN COLORADO WAS BORN WITH A FOOT GROWING OUT OF HIS BRAIN: (!!!)

On October 1st, Tiffnie Esquibel of Colorado Springs, Colorado (--about 60 miles south of Denver), gave birth to a baby boy named Sam.

--Anyway, shortly after Sam was born, doctors discovered what appeared to be a tumor growing on his brain. So on October 3rd, they performed surgery to remove the growth.

--But instead of finding a tumor like they expected, they found a fully-developed FOOT . . . along with parts of an intestine, a hand and a thigh . . . growing OUT OF HIS BRAIN. (!!!) (KMGH News 7 - Denver)

(--So you know, Sam's surgery was a success and his doctors expect a full recovery. But his doctors can only theorize about WHY he had a foot growing out of his brain.)

(--One theory is that the growth was something called a teratoma . . . which is a congenital brain tumor that's made of foreign tissue like muscle, hair or teeth.)

(--Or it could have been a case of "fetus in fetu" . . . which is when one twin starts to form INSIDE the other. But, like I said, the doctors don't really know.)

AN IRAQI REPORTER THREW HIS SHOES AT PRESIDENT BUSH:




I could be wrong, but I'm starting to think that PRESIDENT BUSH can't wait until BARACK OBAMA takes over as president next month . . . so he won't have to deal with stuff like THIS anymore . . .

--Yesterday, Bush was in Iraq to meet with Iraqi leaders and to celebrate the recent security agreement which calls for all U.S. troops to withdraw from the country by the end of 2011.

--Anyway, Bush was in the middle of a press conference in Baghdad when an Iraqi news reporter named Muntadar al-Zeidi stood up and shouted, quote, "This is the end!" . . . before hurling his SHOES at Bush's head.


--President Bush dodged both shoes, and Muntadar was tackled and dragged out of the room before the press conference continued.


***POLITICAL NONSENSE - 2 of 2***

AN IRAQI REPORTER THREW HIS SHOES AT PRESIDENT BUSH:

--Bush brushed off the incident saying, quote, "So what if a guy threw his shoe at me? [It's just] one way to gain attention . . . It's like driving down the street and have people not gesturing with all five fingers. I don't know what the guy's cause is."

PULL MY FINGER APP OK'D BY APPLE

Potty humor has triumphed as Apple Inc. relented and has now agreed to sell the "Pull My Finger" iPhone and iPod Touch application after previously rejecting it, citing "limited utility."

The application does what you'd expect. Choose one of the dozen or so on-screen characters, touch a finger and you hear the passing of gas. "Pull My Finger" developer Sam Magdalein says Apple told him they didn't want to reject it originally, but that they were sorting out how this "genre" of apps would be handled. (Here's video of the app in action.)
