Well folks, we might as well start with our “Asshole of the Day” right from the get-go!
Since we turn our clocks back an hour tonight your befuddled writer couldn’t believe his eyes when reading this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, they’re assholes alright!

The parents of a three-year-old boy are relieved after
they were reunited with their son early Saturday morning, a couple hours
after the boy managed to escape his home.
Gatineau police say a passerby spotted the boy, who was wearing only shorts and a t-shirt, around 1:30 a.m.at a bus stop. The passerby then called 911.
According to police, the kid said he couldn’t stand it no more, and was running away from home!
Police said the family was reunited and the boy did not suffer any injuries.
Quebec’s children’s services department is investigating.

It’s a drink that has been shared among Greek gods, Vikings, mythical dwarves and magical wizards.
Made using honey, water and yeast, the origins of mead have been
traced back nearly 10,000 years, predating wine and beer. Its popularity
has ebbed and flowed through time and throughout the world, popping up
in places like ancient Greece, northern China and Ethiopia.
Now, Canadians are buzzing about mead — one of the world’s
oldest alcoholic beverages. The so-called nectar of the gods has made a
resurgence in Canada over the past decade, with meaderies multiplying
across the country.
Vicky Rowe, owner of the U.S.-based Internet mead hub Gotmead.com, said she counted about four meaderies in Canada in the mid-2000s. That number has since grown to more than 30 meaderies from coast-to-coast.
“We started seeing more and more Canadian meaderies cropping up. I mean, just all over the place, like they were growing on trees,” said Rowe, who’s operated her website for about 20 years.

I DON’T KNOW WHY, BUT SOME PEOPLE SPEND A LOT OF TIME GETTING CONFUSED ABOUT STUPID STUFF!
We’re all going to die (hopefully not too soon). And
that means that someday, everyone currently on Facebook will be six feet
under (metaphorically speaking).
The blog What If? recently attempted to determine when (in ballpark figures) the number of dead people on Facebook will outnumber those who are alive.
It’s a morbidly fascinating question, and the unidentified blogger behind What If? is more than up to the challenge.
The conclusion: Depending on whether Facebook stays popular, the answer is either in the 2060s or the 2130s.
The blogger writes, “Based on the site’s growth rate, and the age breakdown of their users over time,there are probably 10 to 20 million people who created Facebook profiles who have since died.”
Looking down the road, the blogger writes, “About 290,000 US Facebook users will die (or have died) in 2013. The worldwide total for 2013 is likely several million. In just seven years, this death rate will double, and in seven more years it will double again.”
The question, the blogger argues, is whether or not Facebook will continue to add more young users “to outrun this tide of death for a while.”
If the social network can get young people to keep joining, the blogger estimates that the dead won’t outnumber the living on Facebook until around 2130.
OF COURSE, IF YOU DIE BEFORE THEN………………………, IT WON’T MAKE A WHOLE LOTTA DIFFERENCE ANYWAY, WILL IT?

Well kids, this certainly wasn’t Yogi bear looking for a picnic basket!
A Russian man ran into a bear in a raspberry field last week and quickly realized the animal was going to attack.
But the 80-year-old had no intention of giving in. When the bear got close, he brought the rain.
Yusuf Alchagirov kicked the bear, head-butted the confused animal and even tried to kill it with a knife.
He didn’t disable the furry fury but he was able to take it by surprise enough to survive the ordeal.
The bear fought with the shepherd for several minutes and then, apparently done with the old man, threw him off a cliff before meandering away.
“I got off easy,” Yusuf told The Guardian. “It would have killed me if I’d chickened out.”
Easy might be a stretch. Yousef was hospitalized with broken ribs, bruises and bite wounds – all of which sounds better than the alternative.
Officials in the Russian region of Kabardino-Balkaria say they are not going to hunt the bear because they think it was “just playing with” Yusuf.

This reminds me of an old story from the Middle East.
A man and his servant went from Damascus to a market
in Aleppo, when the servant turns around and sees ‘Death’ looking at him
and pointing.
The servant is afraid and says to his Master, “I saw ‘Death’ pointing
at me, so please give me your horse that I might flee back home and
escape him!”
The servant then rides away and a short time later the Master runs into ‘Death,’ and says to him, “My servant says you pointed to him not half an hour ago?”
‘Death’ says: “I was only surprised to see him here in Aleppo, when I have an appointment with him later today in Damascus!”
