You know, in case you were wondering.

Slim Goodbody is alive! Or was recently, at least.

At least he wasn't cited for speeding

A man in Brisbane, Australia, was found sleeping in his motorized wheelchair in the middle of the highway and got busted for drunk driving.

One of the cops also noted that one can be arrested for drunk-driving a horse. We're not sure which of you needs to be intoxicated to fall under the statute, however.

Coming Soon: "The Office: SeaWorld"

So I'm reading this story about how the Navy is doing hearing tests on whales. The type of whale? A Gervais' beaked whale. So was the actor/comedian Ricky Gervais named for the whale or the other way around?

I wonder about weird things.

Without it, we never would have gotten Elvis

It's the 50th anniversary of the debut of the hula hoop, the innocent toy that sent hips a-swivelin' the world around. To think, if there was no hula hoop, Elvis might have gone on "Ed Sullivan" and thrown a frisbee or watched a bad 3-D movie. His career, to be sure, would be over, but maybe he'd still be alive today.

Think about that. Video games might be cool, but plastic changed the world.

We don't want to know what they'll do with the inventor of the toothpaste tube

So the guy who invented the Pringles can died, and for his last wish, his ashes were placed in one of his cans.

No, he didn't die of the fever for flavor of a Pringles.

Is it wrong that this story really makes me hungry for some chips?

Coming to Fox:

The Hot New Reality Show "Moltin' the Most"

Isn't it enough we obsess with botox and buying our teenage daughters boob jobs for graduation presents. Do we really need to corrupt the animal kingdom with visions of artificial perfection:
