Zoom, dig, blend, repeat.
Looks like drug-maker Merck may qualify for On Deck, and be headed for the drug peddler graveyard. Texas Jury hit them with a Texas-sized $254.3 million award
to a woman who alleged that Vioxx
contributed to the death of her husband. Ironically, we ODDfellows who know some cardiologists that have their own private stash of Vioxx. Live life in pain and risk death, or have less pain and eventually die anyway. “Live’s a bitch, then you die.”
Two notable deaths today: one flew in the air, the other dug in the dirt. Roy Voris founded the Navy precision flying group, the Blue Angels
; Manfred Korfman excavated ancient Greek city of 4000 B.B.P.P. (“Before Brad Pitt’s Pecs”).
ODDfans will note that we actually recommended The Iliad
as a book to read and impress people by having on your coffee table or bedside table (depending on intensions with a visitor to living room or boudoir.)
Under the category of “Prospective ODDrecommends, ODDhousekeeping,” we are finding Stephen Walker’s new book about the atomic bomb, “Shockwave”
to be a good read, and Ian Tyson’s “Live at Longview”
is helping us find our inner cowboy. Certainly better than keeping up with the life-and-times of Courtney Love
.
Hope everyone enjoys the next-to-last weekend in August. We will be choosing up sides for
kickball and blending Pink Fluffy Clouds
for the team
.
Beware of plasticized Chinese
