Entourage & Arm-Swinging

1. A South Carolina man has been arrested for having sex with a horse, the second time in as many years he was caught having sex with this particular horse. The stable owner suspected something was wrong, waited for the culprit to return, then confronted him at shotgun point. However, the stable owner never planned on this incident awakening his long suppressed horse/stranger/shotgun fantasy.

2. Researchers believe they have discovered just why it is that humans swing their arms when they walk. The study conducted by specialists in the U.S. and the Netherlands says arm-swinging is chiefly an energy saver, though some scientists still contend it may be an evolutionary leftover. "Well," adds one researcher, "this is all aside from why Chris Brown swings his arms, of course, heh-heh."

3. A feud is reportedly heating up between the stars of the show Entourage and actor Seth Rogen. After Rogen said a few unkind words about Entourage, the writers of the show actually wrote digs at Rogen into an episode. The feud escalated even further today when the group's weekly money-pile fight was canceled due to 30,000 people dying of starvation globally every day.

4. Therapists are trying a new technique in treating people with video game addictions, specifically with the hugely popular World of Warcraft. The idea is that therapists would join the massive online game and treat players "on their own turf." Experts say in the beginning the process worked well, but that success waned when gamers began finding notes at their digital therapist's office saying, "Questing with guild come back l8er!"

5. Jon Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame spent Wednesday at the family's home in Pennsylvania setting up a scavenger hunt for the kids. The family broke into teams of two and went searching for a list of hidden items. However, an odd moment arose when Gosselin packed all eight kids in the family van and told them the next item on the list was "a hot date for this weekend."

High five.
