Some nuns in Baltimore will auction off a rare Honus Wagner baseball card that‘s a hundred years old.  The highest price ever paid for a baseball card was $2.6 million -- for a rare Kate Hudson taken last year in a Manhattan hotel room.  

...  It had to happen sooner or later.  Nuns were bound to stumble on  easier ways to make money than bingo.

A recent study shows that the sensation of falling in love releases the same chemicals into the system as cocaine.   And it‘s so much easier.  You ever tried stuffing a loved one up your nose?

Since the engaged Maria Sharapova and Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic are high earners, they’ve agreed to draft a pre-nup.  Very smart so far.  The bad news is, they’re getting advice from Frank and Jamie McCourt.

...  Interesting story here.  Maria claims she knew she’d marry Vujacic when she drew his name one night while playing Scrabble with Kobe Bryant.

A movie about the Chilean miners could get expensive so CBS had a better idea.  On their new reality series “Survivor: Chile,” 33 guys will spend two months underground just for a chance to get on Letterman.

McDonalds has announced that due to current economic conditions, they’ll raise their prices.  Well, not really.  They’ll reduce the cost of their ingredients so to them it will seem like they raised the prices.

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
