At the movies.... a film from one of the primates who brought you ‘Shrek' it's Space Chimps – rated g - Ham, the real life original space chimp, was a hero from years gone by. He was launched into space in 1961 and died in 1983. “Space Chimps” begins by remembering this hero. However, since the space program no longer uses chimps, the 3 chimps left at the space agency (Luna—voice of Cheryl Hines, Titan—Patrick Warburton and Comet) are in perpetual training—for nothing. When an unmanned probe goes through a wormhole and lands on an uncharted planet, the space agency decides to send chimps to check it out. There is very little content that a parent would object to. This is a summer movie made to help you entertain the kids on a rainy afternoon. FFR – 2 out of 5.
The South tips the scales again as the nation's fattest region, according to a new government survey. More than 30 percent of adults in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee are considered obese. In part, experts blame Southern eating habits, poverty and demographic groups that have higher obesity rates. Colorado was the least obese, with about 19 percent fitting that category in a random telephone survey... wait.... random phone survey... called and asked how much you weigh? No one will every tell you the truth about that.
Some Chicago Cubs fans are already shelling out the dough for a chance at history. They want to be the first to reserve the right to buy tickets at face value for a possible World Series game at Wrigley Field. It's an event that hasn't happened at the Chicago baseball field since 1945. And it's the 99th straight year the star-crossed Cubs have failed to win a World Series title. But a Chicago-based company called FirstDibz is already selling the rights to purchase tickets from a seller should the World Series happen at Wrigley. /// What a waste of money - we already know from the movie “Back to the Future, Part II” that the Cubbies won’t make the World Series again until 2015!
GM researchers are working on a windshield that combines lasers, infrared sensors and a camera to take what’s happening on the road and enhance it, so older drivers with vision problems will be able to see more clearly.... think I'm kidding...
