Top Ten Most Gruesome/Bizarre Sports Injuries
1. Redskins QB Joe Theismann suffers broken right leg: This is the granddaddy of gruesome sports injuries. Lawrence Taylor’s reaction is unforgettable.
2. Alabama WR Tyrone Prothro suffers broken left leg: The interesting thing about this clip is that the cameraman actually shoots a close-up of Prothro’s leg. One thing you’ll notice in most of the following clips is that the announcers usually tell the cameramen to turn away.
3. Dodgers pitcher Kaz Ishii gets hit in face with line drive: This isn’t as nasty as when Red Sox pitcher Bryce Florie got hit with a liner, but it will still make you cringe. Make sure you stay with the clip and watch the “demonstration” that takes place afterward.
4. Villanova guard Allen Ray gets his right eye poked out: This is just nasty. While it’s on my list, I don’t recommend watching it.
5. Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk gets his neck cut by skate: This is probably the worst injury, but luckily you can’t see it. There’s a collision and then some blood. But that’s more than enough. The announcers’ reactions are a must-listen.
6. Mets outfielders Mike Cameron and Carlos Beltran viciously collide: The amazing thing about this play is that Beltran only missed a week of action. Cameron ended up with a broken jaw and broken nose.
7. Celtics guard Tony Allen suffers torn ACL: This get filed under the “bizarre” category. Allen attempted a dunk after play was whistled dead and then blew out his knee. He’s out for the season.
8. Tennis player Mary Pierce ruptures her ACL: You can’t really see how bad the damage is to Pierce’s knee, but just listen to her scream.
9. Wrestler Sid Vicious suffers broken left leg: Wrestling may be fake, but this injury is not.
10. Miami running back Willis McGahee suffers broken left leg: Helmet on knee. Nothing more needs to be said. If you’re not queasy after viewing these clips, let me know which one you think is the most gruesome. And let me know if I’ve left any out. One thing to remember, though: There has to be a YouTube clip of the injury.

Miracle baby comes back from the dead
After trying for 30 minutes to bring two-week-old Woody Lander back to life, doctors decided there was nothing more they could do and called in his parents to say their tearful farewells. A nurse passed Woody to his heartbroken father and gently pulled a tube from his mouth so they could kiss him goodbye.
It was then that the miracle happened. The lifeless baby suddenly coughed and moved. Nurses immediately grabbed Woody back, re-attached the tubes and lifesaving equipment and he came back to life in front of his astonished parents.

Large denominations of United States currency
- The $500 bill featured a portrait of William McKinley
- The $1,000 bill featured a portrait of Grover Cleveland
- The $5,000 bill featured a portrait of James Madison
- The $10,000 bill featured a portrait of Salmon P. Chase
- The $100,000 bill featured a portrait of Woodrow Wilson
Although they are still technically legal tender in the United States, high-denomination bills were last printed in 1945 and officially discontinued on July 14, 1969, by the Federal Reserve System. The $5,000 and $10,000 effectively disappeared well before then: there are only about 200 $5,000 and 300 $10,000 bills known, of all series since 1861.

List of U.S. presidential faux-pas, gaffes, and unfortunate incidents
You can even listen to a clip of LBJ and his pants:
Johnson was well known for his coarse language and occasionally unrefined behavior. While not a gaffe in office, an embarrassingly personal tape of LBJ ordering pants from Joe Haggar on August 9, 1964, was later released to the public. In it Johnson belches, complains about the pants riding up and cutting him “where your nuts hang” when he gains a little weight, like “riding a wire fence,” and asks for more material “around under my bunghole” that he can let out if need be.
And I would have thought there would be more entries for W, but then again, his term isn’t finished yet.Â

We all feel like this sometimes. Well, at least I do.
HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) – A woman who told authorities she was fed up with tailgaters pulled out a gun and shot at the tires of a pickup that got too close, police said. Officials believe the bullet missed the pickup, and no one was hurt. Bernadette Headd, 39, was in rush-hour traffic Wednesday in suburban Detroit when the pickup pulled behind her, police said. Headd changed lanes and fired one round from a 9 mm handgun, police said. The driver followed her and flagged down a deputy, who stopped her and found the weapon.
“She said she was tired of people tailgating her,” Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said.
Headd, who had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm from a vehicle and use of a firearm during a felony.
She was ordered held on $50,000 bond.

Quiz: The Spirituality of Britney Spears
From Baptist virginal teen to Kabbalah-inspired mom of two, Britney Spears has tried on a variety of religious roles. See how well you know the stops on her spiritual journey.
You would think a quiz like this would be found on an entertainment or gossip website, but it’s from Beliefnet.
If you do well on this quiz, I suggest you stop watching E!, Extra, ET, Access Hollywood and to stop your subscription with People and Us.

Bride and Groom’s First Dance Is From Dirty Dancing
UK News interviewed the couple, you can watch it here or here. Here’s a shocker…  it was the girl’s idea!
If I tried to pull this off at my wedding, I’m pretty sure WifeGeeding would have asked for an annulment within seconds because of my lack luster dance skills. It’s not my fault, I grew up Baptist. Don’t worry, Geeding feels comfortable being put in the corner.
