April 20 – 24 – It’s a pair of tickets to Huntsville Symphony Orchestra’s presentation of “Bolero” on May 2.
In the future, you may no longer need to say, “I told you to go to the bathroom before we left!,” because a Chinese car company has patented a voice-activated,”in-vehicle toilet.” It’s a toilet BUILT INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT of a car or SUV. No vehicles are being built with it yet . . . but in the drawings, it looks like it slides out from under your seat like a drawer. Apparently you take care of business and then slide it back, to be emptied later. It has a heating element to evaporate pee, and dry up, well #2. It also comes with an “exhaust fan”…thank
goodness. Oh, and this toilet is “voice-activated.” Not sure what that’s all about or what you would even say?
Remember hearing about the Principal at an Oklahoma High School that took down a former student…stopping a potential mass shooting?
School students honored Mr. Moore by naming him their Prom King.Instead of proposing with one rock….this boyfriend proposed to his sweetheart on top of 100 pounds of sapphire gravel. Family and friends helped sift through the gravel and the lucky lady ended up with 43 Gem quality stones. She is now narrowing it down to 4 or 5 to make the most original engagement ring ever.
A dog that survived a house fire and rescued by the humane society…. was recently adopted by a Firefighter who helped on the scene. Turning a frightening moment into the happiest ever after.
And the Lyrid Meteor Shower is about to put on a show! April 22 & 23 is said to be the nights for prime stargazing….offering up to 15 shooting stars an hour. All you have to do is look for the constellation Lyra near the bright star Vega to spot the action.

Posh meets Pre-historic on today’s CBT. The world’s first Purse,
made Of T. Rex Leather, was recently unveiled at the Art Zoo
Museum in Amsterdam.
Scientists used protein fragments from T. Rex fossils to grow
collagen and leather…so it’s lab grown leather, but it has created
giant sized excitement. The dark teal purse is about the size of a
letter bag. It is currently on display right next to a life size T-Rex
replica. Following its 6 week exhibit, the Prehistoric purse will be
auctioned off. The starting bid right now, is $663,000,
