Who will save us? A top Japanese official, in response to reports about UFOs, says the government has no confirmed sightings, but he himself believes in them, and Tokyo is prepared to scramble jets to intercept any “suspicious airborne objects.”
Also, Japanese homeland security secretary Mothra said she was prepared to fire energy beams from her antennae at any alien craft.
Speaking of airborne objects: A California man is regretting his purchase of a house next to a golf course. He wears a padded leather jacket to mow the lawn to protect himself from the daily barrage of golf balls.
Golf course officials advised the man to put in a putting green, which should cut down on the number of balls that reach his yard.
Scrubbed out: Should the Hollywood writers strike continue much longer, fans of the hospital sitcom “Scrubs” may never learn the name of the janitor. The show’s creator said he intends to reveal his name in the series finale this season but can’t until the strike is resolved.
And if Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” stays off the air, Americans under 30 may never learn the name of the next president.
