HUGE Cake, Amusing Articles, & Tennis Thoughts

From CNN.com's Offbeat Images, this is the biggest ice cream cake you could hope to find. About 16 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 3 feet tall. That's a hell of a lot of ice cream!! YUM!



In the News:

Some Chinese are so excited about going home for the Chinese New Year that they will endure wearing diapers for the trip.

An article about a nurse with an interesting way of relieving stress.

Here's an article about a guy who launched his prosthetic legs at a cop. THAT would've been hillarious to see!

First, a guy tries to drive in a carpool lane with a dummy (link in a previous post--good luck finding it!), then this woman tries to find another loophole involving her unborn child.

Hide-and-seek becomes hide-and-stuck (I am so cheesy) in a washing machine.


Tennis (Aussie Open):

Just to show you how devoted I am to my faves...I woke up at 2am, took a fun drive through downtown Ann Arbor (finding an alternate route from work to home too!!), went to Kroger, then came home to watch my fave tennis lady, Lindsay Davenport, fall to Belgian waffle Justine Henin-Hardenne (from 3:30 to 5:30). Even my dog thought I was crazy, but it was quite fun!! Well, watching Davenport lose wasn't... I feel satisfied in knowing that H-H will be given a strong heave-ho by Sharapova. But you know, I really don't know which lady will win this weekend. I predict Hingis vs. Sharapova in the Final.

As for the men, Federer gave me a scare with his 5-setter in the Round of 16 (since he statistically does bad with 5-setters). I'm still counting on him being in the Final against Nalbandian.

As for my favorites that were ousted...Roddick tried, Hewitt wasn't at his best at all, Ginepri also wasn't at his best, and don't get me started on the Williams sisters. I still want to root for them, but it's hard when it's becoming more and more obvious that tennis is no longer their passion.

And Nadal and Agassi have been missed, for sure...
