The problem with Comfest, an annual community festival in Columbus, is that there are just not enough beer tents and port-o-lets to accommodate the crowd that attends.
After a 20-minute wait to fill your 32-ounce plastic Comfest cup, you can sit on your blanket in the grass for about a half-hour before you get the urge to tinkle. So you get in line to use the restroom, which takes another 20 minutes. By the time you use the restroom, your beer is empty because you drank it faster than normally while you were bored stiff waiting in the bathroom line. So now, you have to get back in the beer line.
And so on. And so on.

The weekend was a bit slow with news I would normally touch on in this blog.
I refuse to bore you with my thoughts on my Cincinnati Bengals draft results or how Brady Quinn died a little inside when he was drafted by the Browns (just kidding Gerrit). And after the Virginia Tech incident, I really shouldn’t touch on the irony surrounding the Kansas City shootings which occurred directly in front of a Target store.
Actually, does a shooting incident in front of a Target store even qualify as irony? Let’s consult that Alanis Morissette song: “It’s like rain on your wedding day. It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid.” Now I remember my English teacher in high school lecturing us students about how nothing described within that song was in fact irony. I’m confused.

Scientists now believe that interspecies sex influences evolution more than previously thought, according to an article published yesterday on NationalGeographic.com.
An increasing number of studies have proven that two separate species can mate to produce a third sexually-viable species. The process is called “hybrid speciation” and the recent studies have been proven with insects and fish.
Biologist James Mallet of University College London in the United Kingdom said that 10 percent of animals and 25 percent of plants are currently known to hybridize.
“In the past people have often viewed hybridization as a mistake,” Mallet said in the National Geographic article. “But this is probably not an unnatural phenomenon.”
And, he said, “sex with another species may be very occasionally quite a good idea.”
Last April, A grizzly-polar bear hybrid was discovered in the Canadian Arctic — after it had been fatally shot.
And on this season’s American Idol, the world’s first panther-human hybrid was identified.
But scientists all agree that the most amazing discovery to date is this pussy cat-human hybrid discovered in Columbus, Ohio. It goes by the name of Gerrit.
Human and feline DNA appears to mix very well.
So far, tests are inconclusive on which of Gerrit’s parents banged a house cat.
