Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Pro-Bush Speech Cost Him Sex. His wife wouldn't give him any either. Doh!!! "Well, there was no sex for 14 days." Whoa Arnold. Hold on there.

Where do you go when you want 2 X 4's, plywood, welding supplies, G I Joe action figures, DVD's, clothes, Televisions, and boxes? Check this out. Big retailers known more for giant stores in suburbs are resizing stores, reformatting layouts and remixing merchandise to make it big in the Big Apple. Home Depot (HD) recently joined Toys R Us (TOY), Kmart (KMRT), Best Buy (BBY) and The Container Store here in exploring ways to adapt their formulas to an urban environment.

What Are the Chances of This? The retrievable chamber of China's 20th recoverable satellite returned to Earth with a bang, crashing through the roof of a house.

Man shoots nail into chest and lives, tonight on Ripley's, Believe It Or Not. Could I get sued for that? Oh well. Speaking of Ripley's Believe It Or Not... Have any of you ever been to one of thier, I guess you would call it, museums? Since I used their name, I thought I'd pimp 'em a little.

Italy's "escape king" Max Leitner has broken out of prison for a fourth time, staging his latest mystery jail-break overnight along with a Mafia arms trafficker. Guards opened their cells on Friday morning to find only dummies, made of rags and cardboard, lying where the men should have been. I smell a movie deal. I could see Sean Connery playing in this. It has potential.

Diners at The Vineyard can distance themselves from the din of cell phone chatter. The restaurant has designated a "No-Cell-Phone" area, after customers who complained about listening to conversations from adjacent tables asked for the ban. Couldn't you see that coming? So, can I go to a restaurant where you can't speak while you eat? What's the difference in someone talking on a cell phone and someone talking to another person? I guess people want the whole conversation. Wait a minute, I'm confused. I'm having a blonde moment.



A lot of people love television but apparently some people have had enough of it, too. A new keychain gadget that lets people turn off most TVs — anywhere from airports to restaurants — is selling at a faster clip than it would take most people to surf the channels on their boob tubes. Hours and hours of fun. Amaze your friend. Oh, I'll be buying one of those.

For $995, Space ServicesInc., will place a gram of a person's ashes in an aluminum capsule — about the size of four dimes stacked together — attach it to a rocket and send it into space. For $4,300 more, seven grams of ashes are transported in a lipstick-size container.

Unable to pass meaningful legislation, deputies in Mexico's Congress have been offered a chance to kick back with a full-body chocolate massage. I'm there.

Kids Pick Kerry to Be the Next President. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why it's illegal for kids to vote. Because they are stupid. If I were a kid again and based my vote on anything other that logic, I'd vote for Kerry because he looks like Frankenstein. But, because I have a brain, I'm gonna VOTE FOR GEORGE BUSH.
