The case of the missing pregnant woman goes on. I thought it was weird that many people thought the father of the woman's other child was a suspect. I mean, wouldn't the toddler say, "Daddy put Mommy in the rug." or something like that.

It seems this is kinda like the case of that pregnant woman several years ago, where they cut the baby out of her womb. It's not a common crime, but that would make at least two cases for Ohio.

We've all heard about the FDA-approved, fat-blocking drug, called Alli. Oh, it sounds wonderful. Maintain your regular diet and lose weight! However, this is actually on their website: "You may feel an urgent need to go to the bathroom. Until you have a sense of any treatment effects, it's probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work."

Co-Worker: "Hey, new pants. What's up?"
Alli User: "Trouser chili."

And note how side effects are now "treatment effects".

Human bite injuries increase during holidays. McGruff is on the case.

Smashing Pumpkins appear on "Letterman". Twice. In the same week.

While lamenting the end of the Roberto Hernandez Era with the Tribe, Sammy Sosa hit his 600th homer. And I bet he learned English again, so he could speak about it after the game. Only four had hit 600 before him: Aaron, Bonds, Ruth and Mays.

Getting back to Hernandez, he's another free-agent signing who didn't last a full season. Off the top of my head, I recall Jason Johnson and Brady Anderson. I'm sure there were more.
