Jack the cat chases black bear up tree

Bear on a poleA black bear picked the wrong yard for a jaunt, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice.

Jack, a 15-pound orange and white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, often chasing small animals, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.

"We used to joke, 'Jack's on duty,' never knowing he'd go after a bear," owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's editions.

Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack's accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey property on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat.

After about 15 minutes, the bear descended and tried to run away, but Jack chased it up another tree.

Dickey, who feared for her cat, then called Jack home and the bear scurried back to the woods.

"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said.

Bear sightings are not unusual in West Milford, which experts consider one of the state's most bear-populated areas

Eating pizza 'cuts cancer risk'

Italian researchers say eating pizza could protect against cancer.

PizzaResearchers claim eating pizza regularly reduced the risk of developing oesophageal cancer by 59%.

The risk of developing colon cancer also fell by 26% and mouth cancer by 34%, they claimed.

The secret could be lycopene, an antioxidant chemical in tomatoes, which is thought to offer some protection against cancer, and which gives the fruit its traditional red colour.

 Delta.house.apPolice raid original 'Animal House' at Dartmouth

HANOVER, New Hampshire (AP) -- Authorities raided the Dartmouth College fraternity that helped inspire the movie "Animal House," carrying off 10 crates, a computer and other items.

BlutoInvestigators refused to say Friday what the search on the Ivy League campus was about.

Buy Mom

Grocery cartA guy shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son."

 He answered, "That's okay."

"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy."

She then went through the checkout .... and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mother."

The little old lady waved and smiled back at him.

Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries.

"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk.

"How come so much? I only bought 5 items.."

The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd pay for her things, too."

Thanks Mickie

Strange bedfellows

Snake hamsterTOKYO -- Hamster named Gohan, right, and snake Aochan live togther in a cardboard box at Mutsugoro Okoku zoo, outskirts of Tokyo. Gohan and Aochan make strange bedfellows: one's a 9 centimeter dwarf hamster; the other is a 120 centimeter-long (yard-long) ratsnake. Zookeepers at Tokyo's Mutsugoro Okoku zoo presented the hamster - whose name means "meal" in Japanese - to Aochan as a tasty morsel in October, after the snake refused to eat frozen mice. But instead of indulging, Aochan decided to make friends with the furry rodent, according to keeper Kazuya Yamamoto. The pair have shared a cage since. (01/18/06 AP photo)

Woman beaten with dead dog

Of course this had to happen in my area.

Chihuahua Cops: Breeder hit with dead Chihuahua
ST. PETERS, Missouri (AP) -- A woman angry that her new puppy had died pushed her way into a dog breeder's home and repeatedly hit her on the head with the dead Chihuahua, authorities said.

The 33-year-old woman told police she had taken the puppy to a veterinarian, who said it was only 4 weeks old and needed to be returned to its mother. But before she could return the puppy, it died.

Early Wednesday, the woman went to the breeder's home, pushed her way inside and began fighting with the breeder as she tried to make her way to the basement to get another puppy, police said.

The breeder wrestled the woman out of her house to the front porch, where the woman then hit the breeder over the head numerous times with the dead puppy, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported, citing police.

As the woman drove away, she waved the dead puppy out of the car's sunroof and yelled threats at the breeder, police said. She later called the breeder and threatened her and her family, according to court records.

Weird city names

Here are a few U.S. city names:

  • Pig, Kentucky
  • Louisiana has a Start, but there's no Finish
  • Poor Uranus is the only planet in the solar system without a city. I guess it sounds bad when you say "I'm from your anus..."
  • You can find a Climax in 17 states.
  • France, England, Spain, Russia, Brazil, India, China, Korea, Italy, Turkey, Lebanon, Sudan, and Egypt are all in the United States.
  • You can go to Blue, Green, Orange, Violet, Black, White, Brown, or Pink, but not Yellow or Red.
  • Illinois may have Melody, but it sure doesn't have any Rhythm.
  • There's Weather in PA, but KY has Rain, Hail, Snow, and Ice!
  • Arkansas has both Simpson and Goldman
  • Speaking of Simpson, 33 states have a Springfield
  • You think Kansas City, Missouri is confusing? Try this loop: New York, Kentucky. Kentucky, Michigan. Michigan, Vermont. Vermont, Indiana. Indiana, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, Alabama. Alabama, New York.
  • Alabama has Intercourse, but Utah has a Virgin

Women are smarter

Beautiful womanWhen Stephen found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. So one evening he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said as he walked up to her "but in just a week or two, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars."

Impressed, the woman went home with him that evening and, three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much smarter than men...

Monkey man

Man goes on diet of only Monkey Chow

Monkeychow1Imagine going to the grocery store only once every 6 months. Imagine paying less than a dollar per meal. Imagine never washing dishes, chopping vegetables or setting the table ever again. It sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

But can a human subsist on a constant diet of pelletized, nutritionally complete food like puppies and monkeys do? For the good of human kind, I'm about to find out. On June 3, 2006, I began my week of eating nothing but monkey chow: "a complete and balanced diet for the nutrition of primates, including the great apes."

Here’s his report for Day 4 (Yesterday)  He’s lost 4 pounds already.

Stats
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 165 lbs  
Mood: a touch manic
Poop: still regular, still smelly
Monkey-like Attributes: moderate desire to fling poop

The "5-Second Rule" Rules

5 second ruleResearchers at the University of Illinois say the so-called "5-Second Rule" isn't a myth.  They say when you drop food on the floor, it's still safe to eat if you pick it up within five seconds.

That's because it takes at least that long for germs to devour dropped food. Sticky food though, will pick up bacteria faster than dry food.

Researchers say the 5-Second Rule probably only applies to tile and hardwood floors.

Food Science Professor Peter Blaschek said, "I think all bets are off when you're talking about something like carpeting. That's an entirely different story and we haven't done that study yet."

By the way, if you try getting rid of germs on your food by blowing on it or dusting it off, you're wasting your time. It doesn't work.

The gender of nonliving things

Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

Copiers are Female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.

A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.

A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part.

Sponges are Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.

A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.

A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.

An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

A Hammer is Male, because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.

A Remote Control is Female. Ha! You thought it'd be male , didn't you? But consider this - it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying!

Thanks Ronnie & Sue

Husband and wife

Fried eggs A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.  "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter!  Oh my GOD!  You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY!  Turn them!  TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter.  Oh my GOD!  WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful ..  CAREFUL!  I said be CAREFUL!  You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never!  Turn them!  Hurry up!  Are you CRAZY?  Have you   LOST your mind?  Don't forget to salt them.  You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT!  THE SALT!" 

The wife stared at him.  "What in the world is wrong with you?  You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?" 

 The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving."
