CBS News-The iCAST

Have you ever listened to the CBS Radio News at the top of the hour and thought to yourself--man why does this have to be so stuffy? The folks at CBS realize this and have put out an awesome new podcast to deliver news in a fresh new way that I honestly really enjoy.

Fish with human teeth! Freaky yet fascinating!

On Tuesday afternoon, Scott Curry was fishing in Lubbock, Texas, when he caught an 18-pound fish.

--What kind of fish is it??? No one has any clue.

--All we know is that it's STRAIGHT-UP FREAKY. . . because this fish has a set of HUMAN-LIKE TEETH in its mouth. (looks like that fish could use a good flossing too!)

(ABC 28 - Lubbock)

Tubal Pregnancy

July 25th 1978-a freaky thing happened: Louise Brown was born! Okay Louise herself isn't that freaky, but she was the very first test tube baby!

Just incase you're curious Louise and her hubby Wesley conceived the old fashioned way (look mom--no test tubes!) Here's what Louise looks like today!

Independence Day on Guam w/Starship!

Check it out-Mickey Thomas and Starship play at Polaris Point on Guam for the July 4th Celebration. Pretty good too...band was tight and Mickey Thomas still can sing all the Starship standards...plus as a special bonus he sang "Fooled around and Fell in Love" from his days with Elvin Bishop. Missed first couple of songs standing in long food lines...and there was no big announcement that they had taken the stage. Honestly, for their first couple of songs they sounded like a good cover band doing Starship tunes...but they finished strong with biggest hit "We built this City" cheesy yes-but the crowd loved 'em. Thanks fellas!
