Apple Now Pushing Organ Donor Registration in iOS 10
A satirical look at current events!
Apple Now Pushing Organ Donor Registration in iOS 10: Apple’s next software update for the the iPhone will make it easier for users to become organ donors through a new feature in the company’s Health app, which will let users sign up to become organ, eye, and tissue donors "with just a few taps.” Good grief, as if it isn’t enough they charge an arm and a leg for their iPhones, now they’re after our internal organs too?
Full-Sized Noah's Ark to Open in Kentucky: A 510-foot-long, $100 million Noah's ark attraction built by Christians who say the biblical story really happened is now set to open in Kentucky. OK, but with devastating floods right next door leaving 23 dead, scores homeless and billions in property damage, wouldn’t West Virginia have been a little bit better choice for an ark?

Georgia Supreme Court Rules KKK May Adopt-a-Highway: A local Georgia chapter of the Ku Klux Klan might soon get a highway stretch named after them after the state's Supreme Court denied an appeal to block them from the “Adopt-A-Highway” program. I suppose I’m OK with that, just as long as the highway they get is the “Highway to Hell.” You’d think if the KKK is so keen on getting rid of rotting trash, they’d start in their own trailer parks. Wonder if the great Georgia would give the same nod to the Crips or Bloods? Anyway, here’s another idea - instead of “adopting” a highway, how bout they just hit the road?
Some Trump Delegates Bringing Guns to Convention: As the Republican convention in Cleveland approaches, several Donald Trump delegates from Pennsylvania say they plan on bringing their guns with them to the GOP gathering and are urging their fellow delegates to do the same. Should make for an interesting convention, especially when some “patriot” happens to set off a few fireworks to celebrate Trump’s victory. It could make the OK Corral look like a child’s playpen. Kind of makes you wonder, though, did Cleveland end up with this convention because they lost a bet?

Author Claims Statue Of Liberty May Be A Man: Elizabeth Mitchell, the author of “Liberty’s Torch: The Great Adventure To Build the Statue of Liberty,” is causing quite a controversy by claiming that she feels that the model for the Statue of Liberty may not have been a woman after all, but actually the sculptor’s brother. Well, there’s one surefire way to determine if its male or female, see if its actually getting paid less than the male statues. Angry North Carolina officials say if it is a male, it can forget about using any public restrooms in the Tar Heel State.
Facebook Users Can Now Post Status Updates In Multiple Languages: Facebook has just announced the launch of a new feature that serves as a translation tool that allows users to compose status updates in a total of 45 different languages. I’m all over it! I’ve already begun posting in Russian, Italian, French, Thousand Island, Blue Cheese and Roquefort.
Trump Spent $12,000 in Charity Money to Buy Tebow Helmet: Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump - already under attack for using charity money for lavish galas and not to help those in need - may have run afoul of IRS rules by buying himself a Tim Tebow-autographed helmet at an auction by using $12,000 from his Trump Foundation to make the purchase. He paid $12,000 for a Tim Tebow helmet? Hell, he could've brought his jockstrap for half that price. Guess there's a reason Trump needs to keep reminding everyone just how smart he is.
People With Many Facebook Friends Have Larger Regions in the Brain: A new study found that people who have an inordinately large amount of Facebook friends often have certain regions of their brains which are significantly larger than the general population. No kidding - and that region is called the “ego.”
High-Levels Of Brain-Eating Amoeba Found At North Carolina Water Park: Testing showed unusually high levels of a “brain-eating amoeba” at a North Carolina water park where someone died after becoming infected earlier this week. On a positive note, because it is North Carolina, very few people should have cause for concern.
