Fox Sports reported over the weekend that the Denver
Nuggets didn’t really hang their mascot, Rocky, Friday
night. It just looked like they did, potentially traumatizing
every child in the crowd.
What actually happened was, the Nuggets’ mascot
apparently suffered a dizzy spell while he was being
lowered to the court during a pre-game stunt and passed
out, dangling lifelessly and then crumpling on the floor as
the crowd watched in horror.
The mascot tweeted that he’s OK, but after announcing in
April that he’s retiring after this season, Rocky may want to
speed it up.
“What’s up Doc” indeed
Carrots have long been said to be good for your vision.
Now, it has emerged, they can also improve the fertility of
men.
The DailyMail.com reports that Researchers investigating
the effect of fruit and vegetables on the health of sperm
discovered that carrots produced the best all-round results.
They had the greatest effect on ‘motility’ – a term used to
describe the ability of sperm to swim towards an egg.
Researchers at Harvard University in the US asked almost
200 young men to follow diets containing a variety of fruit
and veg before testing to see what effect it had on sperm.
Yellow and orange foods were found to help make the
sperm stronger. The boost was attributed to pigments called
carotenoids because the body converts some of these into
health-boosting antioxidants. These include beta-carotene,
which the body can make into the antioxidant vitamin A.

SFExaminer.com reports there’s a new medieval rage in
celebrity homes – moats.
For stars such as Rihanna - who have to move to super
secure buildings to avoid stalkers that end up on their back
porches - a dense swath of impenetrable water starts to look
appealing.
Gisele Bündchen and her hubby Tom Brady have a moat,
complete with the requisite koi. Their architect Richard
Landry is one of the hot designers credited with the trend.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the elite prefer the
term “wraparound water feature.” No doubt when drums of
hot oil are poured on invading hoards, that’s also called “an
immersive skin peel.”
That explains the “dead
quiet” atmosphere
Bob Moschetto and his wife Ellen share their home with a
Shih Tzu, two cats and about 70,000 dead neighbors.
That’s right. The married Queens couple lives in a
cemetery and has done so for the past 13 years. The couple
lives rent free in exchange for taking care of the property
and they love it.
“I like to say I live in a gated community,” Ellen
Moschetto, 61, told the New York Post.
Though their decision to live in a cemetery may raise
eyebrows, the couple insists they didn’t settle for just any
cemetery.
“There are many cemeteries in Queens. This is one of the
best,” said Bob Moschetto, 65.
Moschetto is the graveyard’s caretaker, whose job it is to
open and close the gates, patrol the grounds and keep out
trespassers. It’s a creepy job, but someone has to do it. His
wife Ellen fully supports him.
