1. A 21-year-old New Jersey man is filing a paternity lawsuit against popular rap artist Jay-Z, claiming that he was conceived in the early 1990s before he became famous. (MSN)
If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone claim to be the child of the celebrity, then I’d be able to personally finance the amount of carry-out that college students at North Central have ordered throughout the winter. It really becomes amazing what people try to do to claim three weeks of fame and how much money is foolishly lost if the lawsuit is not in their favor. In these terms, this would be the best time for Beyoncé to start singing “Single Ladies.”
2. Alex Falkenham, a Canadian PhD student, has developed a cream that is able to remove tattoos in a painless fashion. Not only does it quickly remove the permanent ink, but the average cost to cover a 4 by 4-inch area on the body would cost only $4.50 per treatment. (Medical Daily)
There is now a way to get rid of those not-so-sober college days of getting a tattoo. Whether it’s Marilyn Monroe, the Kraken or Scooby Doo, this may be the cheapest way to rid of something that may not be as attractive as it did years ago. After all, will anyone really understand the story behind a tattoo of a bloody knife or a narwhal?
3. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Guliani shared a blunt rant to the public about President Obama and affirmed that the apparent “love” that Obama has for America is as fake as it gets. He made several statements that the President criticizes the country more than he embraces it and that he simply “does not love you.” (CNN)
I thought we settled this after the President’s first term ended.
4. After already killing more than a dozen ISIS operatives, including their main chemical expert, the United States has made public that it has a list of more than two dozen top ISIS leaders as main targets. Their No. 1 man? Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. (MSN)
At least Former President George W. Bush was able to recognize that we were in trouble with the Middle East quickly, compared to Obama who doesn’t seem so concerned. Just because this isn’t happening to us directly doesn’t mean we should just curl up on the couch and embrace the comfort of knowing we’re thousands of miles away.
5. Alaska was just named the “happiest state” in the United States with the lowest levels of daily stress, drug use and high blood pressure and cholesterol. (Business Insider)
I wonder if they’re still saying the same thing with the wind burn and 50 feet of snow that is burying the north right now. However, I wonder if the trick to being the happiest state in the U.S. is to be as far away from the U.S. as possible. But from the never-ending miles of lakes, mountains and nature that covers Alaska, maybe we could all suffer yearly snow-pocalyses to take some of the stress away.
