DEEP THOUGHT:

than an enemy, An
enemy you can see and
avoid, but to detect an
insincere friend is hard.

HAPPY PEOPLE ARE MORE AUTHENTIC ON FACEBOOK:
According to researchers at Australia’s University of Tasmania
people with gaps between their Facebook selves and their real
selves are more likely to feel isolated and stressed than people who
keep it real. Previous studies have found that having our true selves
acknowledged and validated in person is linked to happiness and
better self-esteem. Now it seems the same is true for online
interactions. People who stay true online are significantly more likely
to feel socially connected and less likely to be stressed. Important to
note: the study found an association, not a causation: it could be
that being yourself on Facebook makes you happier; it could also be
that people who are happier feel more comfortable sharing their
lives. (And it also could be that the happiest of all are no longer on
Facebook.)
CHICKEN-SCENTED SUNSCREEN:
It looks like Colonel Sanders has another secret recipe … for SPF-30.
KFC has created a limited-edition ‘Extra Crispy Sunscreen’ that
leaves users smelling like fried chicken. It works just like regular
sunscreen, but gives off the scent of fried chicken. The ‘Extra Crispy
Sunscreen’ was available for free via KFC’s website, but it appears
that supplies have now run out. Hopefully the lucky few read the
disclaimer indicating the product is not “finger-lickin’ good”. Smells
like chicken, tastes like sunscreen. (Some of us have chicken legs
without ever using this stuff.)
BUZZWORDS:

SHOW BIZ BUZZ:
★ Netflix is set to stream the upcoming new CBC-TV miniseries
adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 1908 novel “Anne of Green
Gables”. The 8-episode series, titled simply “Anne”, streams globally
on Netflix and airs on CBC in 2017. The script comes from Emmy
Award-winning “Breaking Bad” writer Moira Walley-Beckett. The 2hour series premiere is being directed by Niki Caro (“Whale Rider”).
CBC-TV previously produced a 1985 miniseries, “Anne of Green
Gables”, starring Megan Follows.
★ North Korea has its own version of Netflix, apparently. The state
broadcaster KCTV has unveiled a set-top box called ‘Manbang’ that
connects to state-controlled intranet and allows viewers to watch ondemand 5 TV channels, a number of documentaries about the
leadership, and English or Russian language-learning material.
However, experts say most North Koreans don’t actually have
connectivity to the service as yet. Even so, in North Korea you can
now ask your girl: “Manbang and chill?”
★ “Celebrity Apprentice” is getting another celebrity-turnedpolitician to sit in Donald Trump’s former chair. Arnold
Schwarzenegger is set to debut as host of what is now to be called
“The New Celebrity Apprentice” when it returns for the new season.
After longtime host Trump announced his US presidential campaign,
NBC-TV confirmed he would not be returning to the series. Movie
star Schwarzenegger has been active in politics for years, serving as
California governor 2003-11.
★ Call her Professor Banks. Next Summer one of the most famous
models in the world is teaching a course at Stanford University’s
Graduate School of Business. Tyra Banks (“America’s Next Top
Model”) has announced she’s co-teaching a course called “Project
You: Building and Extending Your Personal Brand” beginning in May.
She’ll lead the class alongside Allison Kluger, a management
professor with a background in television, including producing gigs
with “The View” and “Good Morning America”.

list’).

a bathing suit.
• 65% of same-sex siblings have fought over borrowing clothing
without asking.

BUM LANDING:
The world’s longest aircraft is likely going to have a similarly lengthy
repair bill after a bit of a bumpy landing on Wednesday during its
2nd test flight in the UK. The $33.1 million, 302-foot-long ‘Airlander
10′, nicknamed ‘The Flying Bum’ for its pert, round back-end, was
returning to the Cardington airfield in Bedfordshire when a line
hanging from the plane reportedly got tangled on a telephone pole
and caused the plane to slow-mo its way into a nosedive. A rep for
manufacturer Hybrid Air Vehicles refutes the pole claim, but says the
company is assessing what happened. The crew is safe, with no
injuries reported. The Airlander 10 had its maiden voyage just a
week ago. (We’re guessing passenger ticket sales are off a bit
today.)

strangers hurry to avoid eye contact with you.

manager, walking hurriedly down the hallway, nods faintly in your
general direction this week.
• Gemini – A tragic boating accident will soon claim the lives of the
lead singer, guitarist, and drummer of your one-man band.
• Cancer – You’ll be brought face-to-face with your own mortality
during a series of harrowing stabs to the jaw and forehead.
• Leo – This week a shattered tea set will serve as a fitting metaphor
for your clumsy coming-of-age as a woman.

minutes before going ahead and defecating in the pool.

then that’s what the serene-looking men in lab coats are here for.

of concessions on your part, the carpenter ants will still refuse to
recognize your truce.

regarded heart surgeon.
• Pisces – A backyard barbecue this week will smell a lot more fun
than it actually is.
FOR THE RECORD:
This week Tesla has unveiled a new car battery that’s being hailed
for two reasons: its ability to power an electric vehicle for 315 miles
on a single charge, and the fact that it makes a 4-door sedan the
fastest accelerating production car. The 100 kilowatt-hour battery
gives the carmaker a range unmatched by major car companies; it’s
the first to push past the 300-mile mark. The battery will be
available in the Model S sedan and Model X SUV. (Ever been
embarrassed at a stoplight by a Model S? It blows your doors off
without making any noise.)

I'm white, and used for cutting and grinding. When I'm damaged,
humans usually remove me or fill me. For most animals I am a useful
tool. What am I?
