I don't know if you're ready for transatlantic travel, but I see that Stonehenge is now open again. It took a couple of weeks to reset the stones to allow for the return to standard time, but they're good to go when you're ready!

Here is the latest in our series entitled "Why Women Live Longer." I mean, really.

Sadly ironic that the tornado in Mayfield, KY, tore the wall off an assembly room and left the stark outside view as if it were a movie...

Sometimes I wonder how far some guys get down the road before they decide to give in and turn around to go to DQ, after all that begging and hollering.

In The Netherlands, they saw no reason to bisect a woods with a highway, so they added a footbridge.

I don't think they have Lunch Lady Doris over there, but this is a school lunch in Beijing. I'll take two to go, please, plus egg rolls.

I'm just saying, some of the roads around here with the worst litter problems are roads with that sign saying the street has been "adopted" by So and So. Some roads are always clean, sure, and that only proves my guess that the "adoption" is a lot easier than the "going out and picking up trash" like this guy did.

Sure, we've all wanted to bang our heads against a wall, but when you realize that it only hurts you and dents the wall, so try a punching bag instead! And wear a helmet!

Marilyn Monroe was a beautiful woman, talented and appealing, and certainly nice to be around. Everyone loved her, except for the publicist who insisted that she pose for publicity photos reading "Ulysses" (note that they posed her as if she were at the very end of the book). It was a cruel stunt back then, that actresses were supposed to be everything to everyone, and so let's have her be thought of as both pretty and brainy. The same kind of people spread the rumor that Jayne Mansfield had an astronomically high IQ, and of course, we had to hear that college dropout M. Trump was a genius multilingual architect. People can stand on their merits as they are without this silly inflation. I'm reminded of the words of baseball immortal Mickey Rivers upon hearing Reggie Jackson claim to have an IQ of 160: "Out of what? A thousand?"

I said stop playing with your food! Eat that broccoli!
