Fireworks in AZ. Are they legal or what??

I'm sure you've heard that certain fireworks have been legalized throughout the state.  However,
that doesn't mean they are legal to use per se!  There are county bands, and usage laws that
are still in effect, and could lead to fines or jail time if you're not careful!  So, let's put all this
confusion to rest.  Here is a great article explaining the do's, dont's, and "you better nots" of
fireworks in Arizona this 4th of July.  Click here to read!

This receipt was found hanging out of an ATM machine
in the East Hamptons.
You don't see that very often, well, really, have you ever?
I would say no, but more shocking is that whomever the
account belongs to keeps nearly a million dollars in a
regular savings account.... that's just dumb!

This is kind of strange.  NEWSWEEK Magazine
decided to photoshop Princess Diana's likeness
to show what she'd probably look like today at 50
years old.   Here "she" is, walking with Kate Middleton,
the most recent addition to her family.  Do you think
this was necessary?

What do you think of this clip?  This is footage of the end of a
recent Miley Cyrus concert in Melbourne, AU.  A young fan jumps
on stage to give Miley a hug when she is grabbed and thrown back
into the crowd, and Miley is rushed off the stage!

Yes, this is a real contest.  Every year, thousands of dogs are
entered into the "World's Ugliest Dog" contest, much to their
chagrin.  This year saw some of the ugliest mutts to have ever
humped a leg!   The winner of the contest (held in Pentaluma, CA)
is named "Yoda."  He is a 14 year old chihuaha mix.  It has a face
only a mother could love.  And it brought home the gold!
