Testosterone & Powerball

1. On Sunday, Phillies' shortstop Eric Bruntlett ended a game against the Mets with an unassisted triple play, only the fifteenth in history, and the second ever to end a game. "I didn't know how to react," Bruntlett said. Upon hearing of the historic play, Paris Hilton shrugged. "I tag 3 guys at once all the time."

2. VH1 will reportedly not be airing original programming on the network that featured now deceased reality star and murder suspect Ryan Jenkins. Jenkins was found dead in a British Columbia motel of apparent suicide after police charged him with the brutal killing of his ex-wife. VH1 says Megan Wants A Millionaire and I Love Money 3 will both be cancelled. Today viewers everywhere wondered if Daisy de la Hoya from VH1's Daisy of Love was by chance found in a motel room, too.

3. A Florida man was arrested on Sunday night after leaving a 3 year old and 4 year old alone in a car to go to a strip club. He faces two felony counts of child neglect. He should be arrested for stupidity, because every kid in my family knows Thin Thong Thursdays are the best days for being left in the car while your dad visits a strip club!

4. A retired South Carolina state employee who won the most recent $260 million Powerball jackpot says he doesn't believe the money will change him. Solomon Jackson, Jr. retired in 2000 from the state's Revenue Department. "I know it's a lot of money, but there are more important things in life," said Jackson on a phone made of diamonds mined on Mars.

5. A new study shows that women with higher testosterone levels tend to take more risks. The study co-authored by professors from Northwestern and the University of Chicago shows that women with high testosterone levels were about 7 times more likely to take risks than women with normal levels. Well... at least that's what the intimidating testosterone-filled women with gorilla strength convinced the researchers to say.

High five.
