Here is a disturbing story to start the day. Wonder if amputation would work for me? I think I could get an extra 10% in tips if I were missing an earlobe. I could sob out a story of how I was involved in a tragic cheese grater accident.

On to more tasteless and glib observations.

Mel Gibson entered rehab. Unfortunately, it wasn't for his dependency on alcohol, but rather his strange fascination for making movies where everyone speaks a dead language. How do you say "anti-semite" in Mayan?

Is it hot enough for everyone? Now I know everbody wants to jump on the Al Gore bandwagon and blame global warming. But I think the real inconvenient truth that nobody wants to face is that heat waves are caused by the elderly. If we didn't have so many old people, Nature wouldn't be throwing heat waves at us to weed them out.

Brokebat Mountain? Heath Ledger has signed on to play the Joker in the Batman Begins sequel "The Dark Knight."

Robin, I wish I could quit you.
