WHO’S THE HIGHEST-PAID ATHLETE EVER…JORDAN?  TIGER?  OR A SECOND CENTURY ROMAN CHARIOT RACER?

–Peter Struck is an associate professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania, and he says he’s figured out the richest athlete ever.  And it’s not TIGER WOODS, MICHAEL JORDAN…or anyone you’ve ever heard of.

–No, the richest athlete ever is…a Roman chariot racer named Gaius Appuleius Diocles.  (–That would be “GUY-us  Ah-POO-lee-us  DIE-ah-klees”.)

–Between 122 and 164 A.D., Gaius was the best charioteer in the world.  Ancient records have shown that his career winnings…measured in ancient Roman coins…comes to 35,863,120 sesterces (–SESS-turr-seez.)

–Struck says, quote, “By today’s standards that…would cash out to about $15 BILLION.”

–It would’ve been enough money to provide grain to the entire population of Rome for a full year, or fund the gigantic Roman Army for more than two months.

THE AVERAGE MAN WASTES $3,000 IN GAS IN HIS LIFETIME BY NOT ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS:

I thought that old stereotype that men never ask for directions was obsolete…with GPS?  Apparently guys, you’re not QUITE there yet.

–A survey by a British insurance company found that the average man drives around lost for 276 miles every YEAR.  And, over the course of his lifetime, he wastes $3,000 in gas by refusing to ask for directions.

–The survey found that 74% of women will happily ask for directions when they’re lost, versus just 30% of men.

–40% of men say that if they do give in and ask a stranger for directions, sometimes they ignore those directions and just keep on driving anyway.

FOLLOW-UP:  THE WOMAN WHOSE CAR BROKE A MAN’S 39-STORY FALL AND SAVED HIS LIFE…IS DEVASTATED THAT HER CAR IS RUINED:

Yesterday, we told you about 22-year-old Thomas McGill of Manhattan.  He’s the guy who allegedly tried to commit suicide by jumping off a 39-STORY high rise…but ended up crashing through a car on the street and SURVIVING.

–Well…that car was a 2008 Dodge Charger that belonged to 42-year-old Maria McCormack from Old Bridge, New Jersey, and she let her husband drive it into New York City for his job.

–And she’s MAD.  Because, sure, she saved a guy’s life…but she LOVED that car.

–Quote, “I miss it.  It’s my baby.  I want to meet [Thomas] and say, ‘Why?  Why my car out of all the cars in the city?’”

–The car was basically destroyed by Thomas’s fall…at one point he was falling at more than 126 miles-per-hour…and Maria’s insurance company is going to rule it a total loss.

–Thomas is still in the hospital.

INFINITE WISDOM

An angel appeared at a faculty meeting and told the dean of a college that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord would reward him….his choice of…infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty.

Without hesitating, the dean selected infinite wisdom.

Done!” said the angel and disappeared in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning.

Then all heads turned toward the dean who sat surrounded by a faint halo of light. He seemed stunned and shocked as a cloud of silence encompassed the room.

One of his colleagues leaned over and whispered to him, “Say something.”

The dean, now filled with infinite wisdom said, “I should have taken the money.”

TIGER WOODS IS SPENDING MONEY LIKE IT’S GOING OUT OF STYLE

When cocaine fell out of PARIS HILTON’S purse and into the hands of a Las Vegas Police officer, Paris told the cop that the coke…and the purse…weren’t hers.

–But back in July, Paris Tweeted about an awesome new Chanel purse she’d just bought.  She also posted a picture of it.

–And wouldn’t you know…it happens to look EXACTLY LIKE the one she was carrying in Vegas last Friday.  (–Here’s a picture Paris Tweeted of her Chanel purse a month and a half ago…along with a picture from Paris’ arrest, in which it looks like she MIGHT be holding the same purse . . .)

JENNIFER LOPEZ’S “AMERICAN IDOL” DEAL IS, QUOTE, “IMMINENT”:

On July 30th, it sounded like a DONE DEAL that JENNIFER LOPEZ would replace ELLEN DEGENERES on “American Idol”.

–Since then, we’ve run the gamut:

–She’s in…maybe she’s not in…she’s in again…no one is in…she’s out because she’s SUCH A DIVA…and on and on and on.

–TMZ is now in Week Five of covering…whatever this is…and they’re reporting that Jennifer’s “Idol” deal is, quote, “imminent.”

–Supposedly, she’s in the “final stages” of negotiations…and it’s “all but a done deal”…and that unless there’s a “last-minute snag,” the deal could be closed by early next week.

(–”American Idol” will likely officially announce all their judges sometime next week.)

STUPID ALASKAN TRICKS

In the Alaskan tundra, sled dogs aren’t just for sledding anymore.

–A nine-year-old girl was spotted water-skiing while being pulled by a dog-team. The girl was in the water, while the dogs pulled her from the nearby shoreline.

–The spectacle took place as part of a local event known as Stupid Alaskan Tricks.  Other tricks included Alaskan muktuk speed-eating and a guy who sliced a wooden bust of SARAH PALIN in half with a chainsaw.

–But, probably the stupidest Alaskan trick of all was performed by a film crew.  They caught the entire event on camera and now they hope to sell the show to a major network.

A MAN IN NEW YORK JUMPS OFF A 39-STORY BUILDING…LANDS ON A CAR…AND SURVIVES:

Apparently, God has big plans for 22-year-old Thomas Magill of Manhattan, New York.

–On Monday, Thomas jumped off a 39-story high rise in Manhattan.  By the time he was close to the ground he was falling at 126 miles-per-hour.  And…HE SURVIVED.

–A 40-year-old named Guy McCormack had just parked his wife’s Dodge Charger right in front of the building.  So Thomas didn’t hit the pavement…he crashed through the back windshield of the Charger and landed in the backseat instead.

–And thanks to the Charger, he didn’t die.  In fact, all things considered, he got out of there cheap…with only a broken leg, a shattered ankle and a collapsed lung.  He’s in critical condition, but it looks like he’s going to pull through.

–Apparently, he had posted something on Facebook beforehand saying, quote, “I hate my life”…so it looks like it was a suicide attempt.

(–Here are some photos of the Dodge Charger from the scene . . .)

MORE AND MORE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THROWING SEX PARTIES!  DOESN’T SOUND VERY “FAMILY FRIENDLY” DOES IT?  BUT IT IS!  FIND OUT IN 15 MINUTES!

When we saw a story today that says more and more young couples around the U.S. are throwing SEX PARTIES, we got excited.  Then disappointed, when we found out the truth.

JERRY LEWIS WANTS TO PUNCH LINDSAY LOHAN IN THE MOUTH:

JERRY LEWIS is a bona fide Hollywood legend.  So perhaps it’s time to turn to him for advice on how to handle LINDSAY LOHAN, PARIS HILTON and the rest of their kind.

–Jerry…who’s 84 years old…has the solution.

–He says, quote, “I would smack [Lindsay] in the mouth if I saw her…I would say, ‘You deserve this and nothing else;  whack!’  And then if she’s not satisfied, I’d put her over my knee and spank her.

–”The same thing with Paris Hilton.  Those children are begging for help.  What they’re doing is saying…’Can you please help me?’  When people who have celebrity give nothing in return, they need a spanking and a reprimand.”

PARIS HILTON IS BANNED FROM THE WYNN PROPERTIES:

PARIS HILTON has been BANNED from the Wynn properties in Las Vegas.  Wynn has two resorts…The Wynn Las Vegas and Encore.

WOMEN TALK MORE THAN MEN

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day – thirty thousand compared with a man’s fifteen thousand.

The wife replied, “The reason has to be because a woman has to say everything twice.”

The husband turned to her and asked, “What?”

Every Wednesday at 8:40, Guardian Angel Pet Rescue joins the Mike and Mandy show to showcase a special animal that needs a good home.

This week’s featured pets are Jessie and Jennie.

Jessie and Jennie are two 5-6 year old Chiweenies. They were put in a dropbox at a Shelter in Louisiana and they contacted us and asked if we could help them. They are adorable! They are both a chocolate brown color with Jennie being the lighter one. We are assuming they have always been together – siblings or a breeding pair or both. So, we will be adopting them together. They MUST go as a pair and would prefer they be the only dogs and go to a home with no small children. They are not bad with children, but we just prefer children to be at least over 12. They both have wonderful temperaments, little boy can be a little territorial with other small male dogs. They are heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations, and both have been altered. They are crate-trained and housebroken.

If you would like to adopt this week’s dog…please click here to fill out an electronic adoption form.

A TEENAGER’S BIKE IS STOLEN…WHILE *HE* TRIES TO SELL A STOLEN VIOLIN:

No matter how bad your golf game is at least your lack of skills has never led to THIS.

–Between 150 and 200 firefighters were called in, and helicopters and fire crews on the ground used thousands of gallons of water to put out the fire in about seven hours.

–There was no property damage or injuries reported and it doesn’t appear that the golfer will be held responsible for the fire.

Baptizing A Drunk

A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. The drunk walks into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher.

The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of booze. Whereupon he asks the drunk, “Are you ready to find Jesus?”

“Yes I am” replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, “Brother have you found Jesus?”

The drunk replies, “No, I haven’t.” The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again, but for a bit longer this time. He pulls him out of the water and asks again, “Have you found Jesus, my brother?”

The drunk again answers, “No, I have not found Jesus.”

By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks the drunk in the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30 seconds.

When the drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up. The preacher asks the drunk again, “For the love of God, have you found Jesus?”

The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher, “Are you sure this is where he fell in?”

EVER WONDER WHY OVERHEARING A STRANGER’S CELL PHONE CONVERSATION IS SO ANNOYING???

Now, researchers at Cornell University think they know WHY it’s so annoying.

–They say it’s because only hearing half a conversation requires more attention and concentration than when two people are talking, which is draining.  And it’s also harder to divert our attention away from conversations where we only hear one side.

–Put another way, hearing only half a conversation feels like WORK that’s been thrust upon you by a random stranger.

–According to the researchers, overhearing cell phone conversations can make it more difficult to do lots of stuff in our daily lives, including driving.

–That means if a passenger in your car is chatting on their cell phone, it actually makes it more difficult for you to concentrate on the road.

DRUNK DRIVER

A policeman pulls over a driver for swerving in and out of lanes on the highway. He tells the guy to blow a breath into a breathalyzer.

“I can’t do that, officer.”

“Because I’m a diabetic. I could get low blood sugar if I pee in a cup.”

“Alright, we could get a blood sample.”

“Can’t do that either, officer.”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m a hemophiliac. If I give blood I could die.”

“Fine then, just walk this white line.”
