And just when you thought you had seen it all, there go four bears sailing down the river on massage tables. Or was it just a dream? Quick, check and make sure you still have your top and that it spins like it’s supposed to. Otherwise you might be stuck in someone else’s dream. And that wouldn’t be good at all.

If you haven’t seen this story yet, check this out:

SEOUL (AFP) — A triumphant North Korea on Tuesday broadcast footage of its controversial rocket launch as state press reported Kim Jong-Il wept tears of regret that the money it cost could not have been used to help his people.

I’m sure ol’ Kimmy was all broken up at the prospect of depriving his citizens of a potential quality of life increase. No doubt he was similarly distressed after building each of his 17 palaces.

Here are seven good reasons I’m a registered Independent (and you should be too!):

Anybody else counting down the days until the NFL season kicks off? I know I can’t wait… nothing better then Sunday afternoon watching the Vikings on our Samsung HDTV. Good old Brett Favre. It turns out his ankle injury is going to be clearing up just in time for him to join the team after they break camp. Pretty nice timing if you ask me.

New York Fashion Week is not too far off. I’ve been so excited, that I’ve been spending hours looking at galleries of the featured designer’s past lines. I was shocked by some of them, that looked more like horse tack than clothing. Some of them, however, were breath-taking. Vera Wang never stops amazing me. Her elegance is so unique, and yet she continues to come out with original stuff.

I was in Virginia last week, staying with my in-laws last. They have this beautiful cabin, with all rustic furniture, right on a huge lake. Our days consisted of waking up early and going fishing, tubing and skiing, and eating meals outside with the lake as our backdrop. I don’t think I could have planned a better vacation to just relax and spend time with family. It was one of the most peaceful weeks I’ve had.

Tired of hearing about multivitamins? Well, you are an idiot. Multivitamins are the best thing that has ever happened to humanity. Forget broccoli and zucchini and all that nasty slimy green stuff. Just pop a vitamin every day and you are good. Or so we choose to believe, but keep in mind that we have no medical training and a minimal amount of common sense.

You want a way to earn some money? Invent your own quick weightloss, and you’ll be banking. Seriously, how many cookies, shakes, pills, and diets do you need to try before you realize that if it’s really gonna work that well there’s no way that is won’t damage your body long term. And yet, people continue to pay big bucks for the crap. So if you want to earn some money, make some nasty tasting juice concoction, and say it burns fat instantly.

Don’t spend $1000 on the newest fitness equipment. I just bought some refurbished fitness equipment for $300. It’s as good as new, and it was a third of the cost of similar brand new equipment. Some of the cardio machines aren’t as “hi-tech” as the new ones, but they do the same job, and who needs a million buttons on a treadmill, anyway.

If you buy diet pills online, you are an idiot, just like me. I made the mistake of buying diet pills from this website, that went on to share my credit card number with at least four other companies, that continued to harass me for months. I somehow ended up with memberships to two different travel clubs, and had to go through a huge mess to cancel them.
