What times we live in. Imagine being able to pop a pill, have a poop and find out that you are going to die a horrific death from bowel cancer just like your grandfather and uncles did. Isn't life grand? Maybe you won't have to die after all. The pill you pop is going to make your poop turn colors and tell you what illness you have and hopefully the doctors can get the leaches on you early enough to cure you. That's some serious science.

"Scientists have genetically engineered E. coli bacteria to work safely as a biosensor that can detect the presence of toxins and secret an indicator pigment. The synthetically engineered bacteria (which has had its bad bacteria parts removed) could be used to test water or air samples for pollutants such as arsenic or carbon dioxide. Arsenic in the water, the sample turn blue, for example. But that's not all.

By the year 2039, the scientists — who hail from Cambridge University –think that their so-called E. Chromi could be mixed in with a special probiotic yogurt, which when eaten, would colonize the bowels and release pigments in the presence of diseases such as cancer, stomach ulcers and salmonella. If your poo was green, for example, you might have an ulcer, or if it turned orange, you may want to get tested for colon cancer."

I got lost once at the zoo when I was a kid so I recall how awful that feeling can be so I won't pick on anybody in this one. It does remind of an episode of the Simpsons when they were throwing Lisa up above the corn to try and see where they were.

A Massachusetts couple with two young kids has trouble navigating through a corn maze, so they call 911 for help. It took a police officer and his K-9 about 10 minutes to find them in Danvers, Mass. spread. (Oct. 12)

This Halloween display in North Carolina prompted a call to 911. Thankfully somebody else called in and let them know that it was just a Halloween display. How many times in the south would you see a man with a beer in his hand trapped underneath a riding lawnmower? Scratch that.

As records go, this one is a nail-biter.

A Las Vegas singer stepped out in New York yesterday as the proud owner of the longest fingernails in the world.

Chris "The Dutchess" Walton made it into the 2012 Guinness Book of World Records for the first time for having nearly 20 feet of nails on both hands.

"It's kind of like a body part that I was born with, now I don't know what I would do without them," the 45-year-old said.

"I'm pretty sure one day I will cut them, but I can't see it in my head because I'm so used to having them.

"It's like a leg, I wouldn't just chop it off so it's gonna take some thinking."

"The Duchess," a mother of six girls and grandmother of three, says she started growing her nails 18 years ago by accident.

Now the nail on her ring finger is the length of the average human arm, her left pinky nail is almost the height of a New York City fire hydrant, and the middle fingernail on her left hand is as long as two Nathan's hot dogs.

I delivered pizza in university and was never so lucky. What you are watching is an advertisement from Hungary trying to get people involved with their upcoming census. Count me in.
