Former Soviet Figure Skater Arrested for DUI in USA

It’s like a Hall of Fame of Olympic drinkers!

oksanaAdd 1 more to the growing list, as Sergei Ponomarenko joins fellow Olympic Gold Medalists Oksana Baiul, Viktor Petrenko and Alexei Yagudin on the drunk drivers rap sheet.

This coming on the heels of young Russian skater Andrei Lutai’s arrest earlier this season for stealing a car and joy riding drunk after competing poorly at Skate America.

Nothing takes the cake though, from former Soviet skater and World Champion Maxim Staviski who’s imbibing caused the death of one, and put another in a coma.

Does “Glasnost” actually mean “openness to public drunkenness”? What gives?

Women are Asking to Have Healthy Breasts Removed

breast_cancer-1This one floored me!

An increasing number of patients are not only asking for removal of the breast with cancer, but for the healthy breast as well.

I remember the 70s when radical mastectomy was the norm and women were fighting the medical establishment to halt the practice.

40 years later, and the roles are reversed, with a growing number of cancer patients pressuring their Doctors to, as one woman put it, “Just take them.”.

Many Physicians are worried that fear is leading women toward panic before knowing all the facts, but in the end conclude that they support a Woman’s right to choose what she does with her body.

Whites and Asians Sleep Sounder than Blacks and Hispanics

Say what?!

A National Sleep Foundation telephone poll of more than 1,000 people concludes that Black and Hispanic Americans are more likely than whites and Asians to lose sleep over job and money worries.

Huh. Well the hubby and I did sleep like babies last night, even if our little world is crashing in around us. I just thought we were too stupid to know better, but I guess it turns out we’re predisposed to sleep well due to our race.

Wait.. what?

Yeah, the survey was a little short on practical conclusions. I still don’t know what to do with this little nugget of info:

Black Americans are also more likely to pray and have sex before going to bed… while whites are more likely to sleep with their pet or partner.

Huh?

I need to think this over during my nap.
