KATE, LINDSAY BUMP-&-GRIND
Lohan, Moss and a couple of female friends swanned into the Upper East Side mammary mecca at about 2:45 a.m. and headed straight for the legendary Champagne Room, where the giggly group ordered round after round of vodka shots, raspberry Kamikazes and beer.
Their table was immediately swarmed by strippers and Lohan and Moss enjoyed numerous lap dances. But the fun really started when Moss jumped on the stage nearest the main bar and began grinding against a pole, much to the delight of hundreds of red-blooded banker types.

Published January 9, 2006
FT. SUMNER, NEW MEXICO -- A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Ft. Sumner said he caught the mouse in his house..
"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire," Mares said from a motel room Saturday.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there.
No one was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.

3 Sisters Give Birth on 3 Consecutive Days
Why not on the same day?
seems like they could have put a little more effort into it is all I'm saying."
The sisters, who appeared on several morning news shows, had no answer for why they didn't try harder.
One sister offered a half-hearted apology to the nation saying, "I know we can do better. We're going to take a few months, but we're all planning on fucking like crazy on March 10, and if all goes well, we'll finally get this right nine months after that." The other two sisters were obviously too embarrassed to say anything and the poor babies just pretended to be asleep the entire time to avoid having to answer for their mother's shame.
