Bombers, Hellboy, Bill Murray, Cars, Al Leong!

-An uninvited Russian bomber on its way to England was confronted by two very unhappy British fighter pilots on August 17. Putin has decided to revive the now retro/classic tactic of sending long range bombers on flights, presumably to show that he is able to squander every last resource Russia has on jet fuel and trying to pass off James Cameron movies as news footage.

-Hellboy, beware. The man with the World’s Largest Hand went in for surgery to have it, uh…fixed. I want to warn you…DON’T CLICK ON THAT LINK unless you are ready to deal with it. That’s all I’m saying.

-Bill Murray was arrested in Stockholm after driving drunk downtown…in a golf cart. When Swedish police asked him to take a breathalizer, he told them that under U.S. law, he didn’t have to. A problem with that, Bill…you’re in Sweden. He later submitted to a blood test, and more than likely a wicked hangover and a near-terminal case of embarrassment.

-They don’t make them like they used to…Clarence Cleveland Curtiss is still driving the first car he ever bought. The thing is, he bought the car in 1938. It’s a 1929 Ford Model A, which he bought for $10 from a guy during the Depression. If you think about it, he’s had the car for 69 years. He paid ten bucks for it, meaning that car has cost him about fifteen cents a year.

-Al Leong is apparently the Greatest Ever.
