Non-Chicago Trip (non BB)

I had to share this:  http://de.news.yahoo.com/afp/20070727/tts-japan-sex-spiele-erfindungen-leute-c1b2fc3.html  It's safe for work in spite of the URL.  It's almost better if you don't know the language, by the way.  Here is the title:

Japaner bringt klanggesteuerten Dildo auf den Markt

It's a new variant on the iPod.

Going with German based humour (not a rich vein of comedy, IMHO), here's a very clever and funny YouTube clip.  No seriously...

By way of background:  This relates to the insane goings on in the Premier League last season.  West Ham "signed" two Argentinians, one of whom they traded away and the other, Tevez, almost single handedly kept West Ham from being relegated by a mile.  Turns out that the Argies were not signed by the club and therefore playing illegally.  Typically, the league would fine the club and deduct points, but in a show of unbelievable spinelessness, the league simply fined the club Pnds 5.5mm.  Staying in the Premiership is now estimated to be worth Pdns 50mm.

If the points deduction had taken place, West Ham would've been sent down long before the last day of the season..  As it was, on that last day, West Ham needed to beat champions Man Utd to stay up and Sheffield United had to lose at home to fellow strugglers Wigan.  A highly unlikely scenario...
