“News To Be Enjoyed Over Coffee”

Delivering Smiles Since 1988

Everybody’s Talking

┈┈┈┈┈☟┈┈┈┈┈

Redhead reunion: The city of Montreal in Quebec, Canada, was the site of a unique gathering. Hundreds of people with naturally red hair got together for a day. All age groups were represented at the event, from children to seniors. It was the first time an event of this type was held in the city and participants had a great time sharing stories about having “ginger” hair. Many remembered being teased when they were kids, but being altogether with so many red-haired folks made everyone feel like they belonged. Redheaded gatherings have been known to take place in other parts of the world, such as the Netherlands, the United States and Ireland.
Help! Katie Young and James Lowder got married at the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana (US). The photo shoot on the grounds went smoothly until an uninvited T-Rex arrived. At least that is how it appears in a photo taken by Quinn Miller, a friend of the couple who is a pro at altering pictures in a program called Photoshop. Quinn staged a photo in which he asked the couple, the wedding party and several guests to run away in mock terror from an imagined T-Rex. He then digitally placed an image of the dinosaur into the shot. The result? It looks like the well-dressed group is fleeing in horror from a huge, hungry predator.
Crazy hair: There are many of types of advertising, but a man from Pompano Beach in Florida (US) has come up with something truly unique. Gasmy Joseph spray-paints images on his mohawk hairdo to advertise anything from a catering company’s services to a friend’s birthday party. Once, he painted a basketball backboard on his mohawk, attached a miniature basketball net, and then attended a professional game. Sometimes, Joseph simply spray-paints an image onto his hair for fun, such as the Mona Lisa. Whether it’s advertising or art, he gets lots of attention whenever he goes.
Chopstick thief: Thieves can come up with some ingenious ways to do their dirty business, but here’s a bizarre one. A pickpocket in China used a pair of chopsticks to nimbly nab a cell phone from a woman’s pocket on a busy street in the city of Zhengzhou in Henan Province. Even more surprising was that they were both riding their bicycles at the time. Luckily, a passerby caught the crime on camera and also got a shot of the robber selling the phone at a secondhand shop. The thief’s photo was circulated on the Internet and Wang Hongbo eventually turned himself in.

Record maker: Renowned record producer Phil Ramone, who passed away in 2013, worked with many famous artists during his 50+ year career. These include B.B. King, Tony Bennett, Bob Dylan and Madonna.
Dinosaur times: Dinosaurs dominated during the Jurassic period which took place many years ago. The period was given this name because many fossils found during that time were discovered in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland.
Pat the baby: Babies burp because their feeding techniques are not yet perfected. When drinking milk, air makes its way into a baby’s stomach, creating an air bubble that needs to be released.
Big eaters: Baby blue whales have huge appetites. For example, these baby marine mammals can drink about 190 litres of milk a day. Compare that to a baby tiger, which only slurps back about one litre of the white stuff in 24 hours.
Victorian reality: Charles Dickens is known as one of the greatest writers of the 1800s. His novels and short stories provided social commentary about Victorian times. He is famous for many works, including “Oliver Twist” and “A Christmas Carol.”

Daddy: “No, why do you ask?”
Susie: “Cause the top of your head is poking up through your hair!”

When you’re young you want to set the world on fire. Then you get older and just want to live a bit closer to the fire department.

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

Big Sister: “What are triplets, Gracie?”
Little Sister: “Twins and a spare.”

Why couldn’t the pony talk? Because he was a little horse.
