Last night, the Bucks revealed their “new logo.”

As you can tell, it’s not anything drastic. They got rid of the purple triangle in the background and added a red one instead. In fact, they got rid of the purple in the Bucks color scheme completely. So, we are now red, silver and green. Sounds kind of Christmas-tree-like to me. Not sure if I’m a fan. What do you guys think?

This just made me chuckle (thanks for the forward, Vito)

Even though it was a cooler day than in past years, Jen, Erica, Bonnie, Amber and I still braved the weather and headed out to the Jimmy Buffett Concert a few weeks ago. After a one year absence, we definately weren’t going to miss Buffett again.

So, enjoy the pictures (and thanks, Amber, for manning the camera this year). The rest of them can be viewed by clicking here.

Qiao Yubo, who is pregnant with at least five babies, walks with her husband, right, in Songyuan, in China’s northeast Jilin province, Sunday, June 11, 2006. Qiao, who is 1.67-meters tall, has a waistline measurement of 1.75 meters, five months into her pregnancy. Qiao’s excessive bulk is causing difficulties in getting around, with taxi drivers too afraid to take her in their cars. Her clothing is all custom-made and she eats up to seven meals a day.

Seriously? This is the kind of crap that makes it on the “oddly enough” news… but this is in our local newspaper!!!

A criminal complaint was filed this afternoon against a Milwaukee woman accused of entering a Waukesha home armed with a metal pooper scooper and scissors.

Leisa K. Reed, 47, was charged with two felonies, armed burglary and second degree recklessly endangering safety and four misdemeanors, battery, intentionally mistreat an animal, resisting an officer and bail jumping.

A Waukesha couple woke up about 4:40 a.m. Sunday when their small dog was barking in the kitchen. The female homeowner found the stranger in her kitchen, swinging the pooper scooper, threatening to kill them and kicking the dog, Capt. Mike Babe said.

The female homeowner screamed and her husband then came into the kitchen.

Reed is accused of striking the man in the head with the pooper scooper. He knocked it out of her hand and then noticed she had scissors.

The man struggled with the woman while his wife called police.

It took five police officers to subdue the 5-foot, 105-pound woman who was screaming threats that she was going to kill someone, Babe said.

Officers also repeatedly used a Taser on the woman, but it didn’t stop her. Officers finally had to put their weight on the woman to take her into custody.

The couple said they did not know the Milwaukee woman, police said.

Bail was set at $4,999.

She looks like a real winner too:

I am really out of touch with other countries’ cultures, I think.

Those barely look like chickens to me. More like little monkeys or something…

Sure, he looks cute with the white hair and the blue eyes… but this little dude pooped on Neill’s bed this morning and peed on mine. He’s not so cute after something like that.

I always see these “ASK YAHOO” things on top of my gmail account and there have some interesting things on it. Thought I’d share the one I saw today…

Dear Yahoo!:
Is there such a thing as a Second World country? Michelle
Washington, D.C.

Dear Michelle:
Third World countries (now known as “developing nations”) are countries with a low “Human Development Index.” First World countries (like the United States, Japan, and Germany) score much higher on the HDI. A nation’s HDI is determined by its literacy rate, poverty rate, life expectancy, etc.

There is indeed a Second World, though the expression isn’t exactly parallel to the other terms, and these days, few mention it. According to Nations Online, the phrase refers to “former communist-socialist, industrial states, the territory and sphere of influence of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic.” For example, Romania, Hungary, Latvia, and of course, the big bear — Mother Russia. China is also considered a Second World nation.

Thanks to the fall of the Soviet Union, the term “Second World” has become rather meaningless. Nowadays, a country’s economic strength (not its government) determines how it’s classified. Countries in Europe and North America as well as Australia are primarily First World, while Africa and South America are mostly made up of developing nations. Hopefully with economic aid and other support, the gap between the haves and the have-nots will grow smaller, and the need for words to distinguish them will disappear.
