Bag of Randomness

  • Yesterday after the evening news I hit a wall (no Jimi, not literally).  All my favorite shows are in rerun status, and the Mavs have no more games left to play.  There’s no “next game to prepare for” anymore.  I’m sad.  Yeah, there’s the Rangers, but the intensity isn’t there.
  • Cuban says he wants to do something other than rings.  I have a feeling a bunch of very large men over six feet tall and 200lbs are going to change his mind.
  • If you think about it, the Fab Five and the Miami Heat have a lot in common . . . awesome talent, arrogance, Juan Howard.
  • It looks like Dallas was able to celebrate a championship without overturning cars, looting, or setting things on fire.  We’re acting like we’ve been there before.  But I bet if the Cowboys ever win a Super Bowl, you’ll see some ‘negative’ celebrating.
  • Bill Simmons is starting to grow on me again.  Maybe it’s because he’s writing about the NBA Finals and my hometeam is playing in it, or maybe because he’s writing for a new website somewhat loosely tied to ESPN called Grantland.com.
  • Dirk’s home got decorated while he was away winning a championship in Miami.  I like how someone left him a six pack of Shiner.
  • Don Carter got his house wrapped.
  • I bet Dirk plays better next year because he’ll be playing without a monkey on his back.
  • Per the Gov: Mavericks and their fans honorary Ohioans for a day – Hey, for a kid who always wanted to visit that state because that’s where his father grew up, that means a lot.
  • Did I go out and buy a bunch of championship gear yesterday?  Nope.  I guess that’s a sign of aging.  But I did buy a newspaper to keep and add to my Dallas championship collection.
  • An interesting post about how members of the local media got the Mavs all wrong and should be eating humble pie.  And who could blame them when the Mavs lost to the Lakes two weeks before the playoffs 110-82.
  • After legal dispute, two Miss San Antonio head to Texas pageant
  • The world’s first womb transplant is planned with a mother giving her womb to her daughter.  That’s right, the womb in which the daughter was carried will soon be inside her so she can possibly give birth to a child.
  • A gigantic topless Jennifer Aniston poster hangs on the side of a parking garage in Dallas.
  • Qaddafi wrote a thank you letter to the U.S. Congress recently.
  • Airbus Unveils Images And Plans For A Transparent Airplane In The Year 2050 – I always thought it was a bit odd that planes haven’t really changed shape or design over the decades.
  • Why you should always sleep with a teddy bar.
  • Today is actually a difficult day for me.  Only a few will know why.

Diver Bill Warren on a mission to find Osama bin Laden’s body

AN eccentric California salvage diver is preparing a mission to the north Arabian Sea to recover Osama bin Laden’s body as proof the al-Qaeda leader really is dead.

Bill Warren, 59, has vowed to scour the sea bed to find the corpse and deliver photographic evidence that the terror leader was killed, the New York Post reported.

Mr Warren, who has discovered more than 200 undersea wrecks, told the Post he was taking on the mission to expose the truth.

“I’m doing it because I am a patriotic American who wants to know the truth. I do it for the world,” he said.

Mr Warren said he expected to spend about $400,000 on a two-week jaunt next month. He planned to rent a ship in India for $10,000 a day, and spend another $1000 a day for a remote-operated submarine.
