It’s one thing to be superstitious, but this is just seems a bit over the top to me:

Cub Fans Are Eating Up the Latest Pitch to End Team’s Curse

Thu Feb 24, 7:55 AM ET

CHICAGO — The foul ball that unraveled the Cubs’ chance for a World Series (news – web sites) appearance and left fans steaming is now simmering in a red spaghetti sauce.

Harry Caray’s Restaurant Group last year bought and destroyed the infamous “Bartman” ball, an object that to superstitious Cub fans became the ultimate symbol of bad luck.

Now a restaurant is using the ball’s shredded remains as an ingredient in its “Foul Ball” spaghetti.

Is eating a bad luck ball really the way to break a curse? Maybe they ought to consult with witchdoctors over in Boston.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:

“…some airline passengers watching the Oscar-nominated film “Sideways” on foreign flights are, in fact, hearing “Ashcroft” as a substitute for a certain seven-letter epithet commonly used to denote a human orifice.

The Post’s Monte Reel, based in Buenos Aires, tells us he heard the former attorney general’s name substituted at least twice in “Sideways” dialogue when he watched the film earlier this week on an Aerolineas Argentinas flight to Lima, Peru. The movie was shown in English and the dubbing was done “in the actual voices of the actors,” Reel reports. Star Thomas Haden Church utters the A-word.”
