Putin wants on the Russian national judo team
Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Black belt Putin offers to join Russian judo team:
Black belted Russian leader Vladimir Putin has offered to join the national judo team after showing off his martial arts skills to members of the squad.
The 57-year-old prime minister made the proposal at a special coaching session on Saturday aired on state television, adding to his carefully-crafted macho image.
Putin, who many observers believe is still paramount leader despite standing down as president last year, entered the hall of St Petersburg's School of Sport Mastery dressed in a white judogi and black belt, to applause from the assembled squad.
After bowing, the former KGB spy went onto the mats, throwing squad members half his age and even tackling the chief trainer, Olympic Gold medallist Ezio Gamba.
Then, over tea and cakes, Putin made the suggestion. "If you need direct help, you can include me in the team," he told the trainer, an Italian who won gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

Jesus is sick of Santa
Monday, December 21, 2009

Controversial display shows Jesus hunting down Santa, Rudolph:
NIPOMO, Calif. -- A Christmas display is being blamed for spreading holiday jeer around the neighborhood.
The display features Santa, Jesus and Rudolph, but it's not your typical holiday decor.
Santa is shown dead on the ground with X's over his eyes. Standing over Santa and staring down the barrel of his shotgun is Jesus. And the dead, limp body of Rudolph is strewn over the back of a pickup truck.
The video is the work of Ron Lake, who says he's simply trying to make a point about the commercialized holiday.
"Christmas isn't about Santa; it's about Jesus," he said. "It's an expression of my repressed creativity."

Kung fu monkeys beat up trainer
Friday, December 18, 2009

Kung fu monkeys turn tables on trainer:
A Chinese man who trained monkeys martial arts to entertain shoppers was shocked when they turned the tables on him.
Lo Wung's taekwondo monkeys have become a regular feature outside a shopping centre in Enshi, Hubei province, where they were trained to show off their martial arts skills on each other.
But one quick-thinking monkey saw his chance when Lo slipped - and caught him with a perfect flying kung fu kick to the head. The rest then joined in the affray.
Hu Luang, 32, who caught the incident on camera, said: "I saw one punch him in the eye - he grabbed another by the ear and it responded by grabbing his nose.
"They were leaping and jumping all over the place - it was better than a Bruce Lee film."

Thursday, December 17, 2009

It's a no-name (Jorg Gray) and it's pretty cheap ($325). But since Obama is wearing it, it's become a best seller. 'Cheap' watch worn by Barack Obama becomes best-seller:
The mystery surrounding the watch’s maker was solved by Jeff Stein, a civil lawyer from Atlanta, who contacted the firm to break the news.It's available, of course, on Amazon too.
Trevor Gnesin, the president of Jorg Gray, said: “I got a call from a contact in Germany and he said, ‘Do you know that the future president of the US is wearing your watch?’ I thought he was joking."
He told US News: "We have seen tremendous growth in 2009 with global interest in the 6500 and our other styles as the president continues to wear his Jorg Gray."
The model is now one of the best selling in the US, with hundreds of orders being received from overseas as well.
