The late comedian George Carlin — famous for those “Seven Words You Can Never Say on TV” — was honored Monday with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the only award he saw as a legitimate comedy prize.

Jon Stewart, Lily Tomlin, Joan Rivers and others saluted Carlin at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for inspiring their own comedy, and they took up his cause of pushing the boundaries of free speech.

Actor and comedian Dennis Leary said he grew up in a church that listed banned books and records in the bulletin each Sunday, including Carlin’s “Class Clown” and “Seven Words.” Leary said he and his fellow altar boys immediately pooled their money to listen to Carlin’s “Seven Words.”

“That was when I realized you could make money for saying things my dad used to say when he was fixing the car,” Leary said.

Mother fights off a robber by locking him in a storage room and hitting him with a baseball bat.

Nichola Burke said she had a “horrible day” working at the Betfred shop in Leeds and “just snapped” when a raider then tried to steal the days takings as she was closing the store.

The manager said: “I was fuming, it had been a horrible day at work, with people moaning at me all day. There was no way I was letting an idiot robber get me down, as I saw him coming towards me, I said: ‘Not on my shift’.”

The man, who was dressed in dark clothes and a black ski mask, took a handful of money and ran to the door but it was already locked.

This is the only campaign slogan ive seen that actually makes sense. It’s sad that because of conservative assholeism we who reside on the east coast can not treat ourselves with herbal medication. People on the east coast especially adults don’t even realize whats going on, on the opposite side of the country they live in.

Students in Texas are trying to create beer that includes red wine’s antiaging compound.

Since headlines began trumpeting the antiaging effects of red wine a couple of years ago, the traditional toast to good health has become more meaningful. But students at Rice University, in Texas, think that beer drinkers shouldn’t be left out. They’re trying to engineer a yeast that produces the antiaging chemical found in red wine–resveratrol–and use it to brew “BioBeer” with a health boost.

“It’s not going to prevent you from getting a beer gut from drinking too much beer, or from getting cirrhosis of the liver,” says Taylor Stevenson, one of six undergraduates working on the project. “But people are already drinking beer, so why not make the activity a little healthier?”
