An eyeful: Playboy’s June edition will include a pair of 3-D glasses for viewing the centerfold in all her glory.

The glasses come with a warning, however, that repeated use can cause headaches, blurred vision and hairy palms.

Slumbering giant: Ken Griffey Jr. bristled Tuesday at reports that he was unavailable to pinch hit the other night because he was napping. He was dropped to seventh in the batting order despite a players-only meeting and a double-tall mochaccino.

You can’t really blame Junior if he did nod off during the team’s disastrous homestand. A lot of fans did the same thing.

DIY happiness: A writer says you can improve your quality of life by making things yourself instead of outsourcing everything and paying for convenience.

He said he learned the importance of doing it yourself while living on a remote island in the South Pacific, where presumably he spent a lot of quality time making a radio out of coconuts.
