Timberlake Revives SNL
Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg were able to recapture gold when they reunited with a sequel to the online hit, “Dick in A Box” video on Saturday Night. “Mother Lovers,” starts with the duo leaving a jail with their boxes in hand, when they come up with a solution to a problem.
This is Justin Timberlake’s 3rd time hosting SNL and some people are comparing him to Alec Baldwin, who continually appeared on the show and has had some of the best skits on Saturday Night Live. The new SNL digital short even included Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson playing the Mother’s that needed some loving.
Pipe Bomb Fail
A Bus Driver in Hempstead, New York, found two pipe bombs in her driveway on Friday and decided to place two pipe bombs in her empty school bus and attempt to deliver them to the police, rather than waiting for experts to arrive on site.
An unnamed source for the New York Times said that the woman wrapped the possible explosives in a blanket and tossed them into the bus and started driving to the nearest police station. While on the way she contact authorities to explain the situation, when she was told to pull over and wait for the Bomb Squad. Luckily the Bomb squad was able to take care of the bombs without incident, but her employer was upset with the woman’s actions.
“It’s unacceptable in every possible way,” an Atlantic Express spokeswoman said. “She will not be driving for this company again.”
Super Soldiers
Government troops were sodomizing local pygmies in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo back in March. The troops told regional rights groups that they believed they would gain supernatural powers for the acts.
The Human Rights League of the Great Lakes said, “Some soldiers from the 85th Brigade sodomized three male pygmies to gain supernatural powers and protection in Kisa village in Walikale territory. The village chief was stripped and (sodomized) in the presence of his wife, his children and daughter in-law. The children in turn were stripped and raped in front of their father.”
The Human Rights league also went on to say that armed groups in the region would also abuse the pygmies. Unfortunately, there are no documented effects of what Supernatural powers are given by pygmies. I think they can cure the swine flu.
Soldier Told He’d Never Walk, Finishes Marathon
Meet Phil Packer, 36, a British soldier that was told last year that he would never walk again. Packer proved everyone wrong by completing the London Marathon 13 days after it started, while doing it on crutches. Packer’s doctor would only allow the hero to walk 2 miles a day, but he competed to raise money for charity.
The finish line was surrounded by cheering soldiers and supporters, as an emotional Packer crossed the line. He defied the medical opinions after his lower spine was severely injured due to a rocket attack on his base in Basra, Iraq. He remained in the hospital for four months, when he decided to complete three challenges to attempt to raise $1.5 million for Help for Heroes.
The three challenges were to row the English Channel, complete the London Marathon, and climb El Captain. In February, he completed the first challenge. Next was the marathon, which he knocked out of the park. The 3rd is hoped to be completed next month in California. Packer remains just short of his goal of the $1.5 million by a mere $558,000 and still accepting donations.
Packer said, “It’s looking after our injured servicemen. There’s a lot of people that can’t do this, so this is for them.” Earlier in the week he said with an interview with CNN, “I wanted to be able to move on in life. I wanted to do something for other personnel who had been wounded. I don’t want to be helped. I want to help other people. Not that I’m not grateful, but… you know… I really want to be able to help people.”
British Prince Charles is a among people who have expressed support for Packer. On Packer’s website, Prince Charles wrote, “You are, if I may say so, a credit to the Royal Military Police and to the British Army as a whole.”
