Trump Awards Elvis Presley US Presidential Medal of Freedom
A satirical look at current events!

Trump Awards Elvis Presley US Presidential Medal of Freedom: President Trump has awarded Elvis Presley the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom in a White House ceremony. Now, at first I thought, what’s the point, he’s been dead for over 40 years - but then it occurred to me that his closest advisors like Alex Jones have probably totally convinced him that Elvis is actually still alive. Anyway, not to diminish the award, I’m sure any award from coming the likes of Donald Trump will mean an awful lot to Elvis - especially at this stage of his career.

Definition of How a Kilogram is Measured Has Just Changed: For the past 130 years, the kilogram, which is the basic unit of mass - has been defined as the exact weight of a cylinder of platinum-iridium held in a triple-locked vault in Paris, but that all changed by a vote of scientists from 60 countries at the General Conference on Weights and Measures in Paris - and now a kilogram will be defined in terms of fundamental constants that describe the natural world. Wait a minute, I’d like to weigh in on that! Personally, I think a kilogram should be defined by how much weight I would gain if I downed about a half a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed donuts with my cafe latte in the morning.
Study Right Finds Belly Button Positioning Important: US scientists say they have an explanation as to why African-Americans appear to dominate on the running track, while whites excel more in the swimming pool - claiming it’s all primarily due to the position of their belly-buttons. Ironically, a follow-up study concluded that researchers who spend their time studying belly-button positioning - most likely have their heads positioned well up their rectum.

Scientists Using Satellites to Measure Ocean Volume: A group of scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have been using satellite measurements to get new estimates to determine the volume of water that’s in the ocean. I can see how knowing the ocean’s volume could be valuable. After all, if everyone keeps dumping their crap in there, one day we may end up having to drain everything.
Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Linked to Hearing Loss: New data suggests that erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and other similar medications - may prompt long-term hearing loss among users. All I can say is “I heard that.”
