Things Overheard...
While at the Baptism/Graduation party on Saturday, Rachel's aunt mentioned something I found very timely and ironic. She mentioned that she never shops at Target. 1) Because they are French owned and 2) Because they lay off reservist who leave to serve their country. I don't know if either of those statements are true, or if they are the result of some internet chain letter circulating around. But this is yet another place, I have been told not to shop at. Then someone else mentioned Tommy Hillfiger. How he was quoted as saying he was upset that so many black, asian and latino people wear his clothes. So we shouldn't buy from him either. Again, I don't know if there is a bit of truth to that story.
I heard Nicole Kidman recently finished a movie called "Birth". She is a pregnant woman who's husband dies then comes back as a 10 year old boy. Apparantly there is a steamy sex scene where a naked Nicole makes out with a 10 year old boy in a bathtub. 1) If this is true, how did that kid land that gig? 2) What is Nicole Kidman thinking? 3) Can the movie be any good if they have to resort to such cheap tactics?
Doctors report that over the past 25 years the average American womans breast size has done from 32 B to 36 C while the average American mans penis has shrunk by an average of about a 1/2 inch. They believe both events are caused by diets higher in fat. Go figure.
A recent study reports that those who are frequenty tardy (in excess of 10 minutes) are much more likely to be fired, divorced, overweight, have lower intillect and suffer from depression and/or chemical dependency. People showing up late is one of the things that really annoys me. So I guess it makes me feel a bit better knowing that those who can't show up in time tend to face more hardships as a result.
I think the position of center in the NBA is changing dramatically. I think in the future you'll see fewer gigundous centers like Yao Ming and the sweaty and overweight Shaq Oneal and more athletic smaller centers like Ben Wallace and Tim Duncan. Shaq really looked foolish this series against Detroit. Ben Wallace looks like a ballet dancer compaired to Shaq. And it doesn't hurt that Ben can actually shoot the ball too. I think the NBA is general is shrinking a bit. Allen Iverson, Jason Kid and Steve Nash are pretty small by NBA standards, and they seem to run circles around the big, lumbering NBA players.
