Prince Charles Final Conversation With Prince Philip

Some of the last words Prince Charles exchanged with his late father, Prince Philip, have been revealed.  In an upcoming documentary by BBC One about the legacy left by Queen Elizabeth’s husband of 73 years, Prince Charles reportedly reveals he spoke on the phone with the Prince of Edinburgh one day before his death.  Philip died at the age of 99 on April 9^th just shy of his 100th birthday. The DailyMail reports that Charles and Philip were discussing how to celebrate the big milestone in what is believed to be their final conversation.  “We’re talking about your birthday,” Charles said to his father in a phone call on April 8, according to the outlet.  Charles allegedly repeated again, “We’re talking about your birthday! And whether there’s going to be reception!”  Philip, who was at his home in Windsor following a hospitalization, cracked, “Well, I’ve got to be alive for it, haven’t I?”  “I knew you’d say that!” Charles replied, via the outlet.  BBC announced earlier this month that the upcoming documentary “Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers” will feature all four of Prince Philip and the queen’s children: Charles, 72, Princess Anne, 71, Prince Andrew, 61, and Prince Edward, 57.  The project was originally produced to mark Philip’s 100th birthday on June 10.
*****Then Charles said, “Will you tell Mummy I want to be king NOW???”
*****At the end of the call, Phillip rang off affectionately: “Goodbye, you idiot!!!”
*******Phillip said, “If I live to be 100, I still won’t understand why you should be king!!”
******The show will also feature Meghan with a glass to her ear, listening in through a door!!

Tom Cruise Spoke With SpaceX Tourists

Tom Cruise got a sneak peek at what it’s like to circle Earth in a SpaceX capsule.  He took part in a call with the four space tourists orbiting more than 360 miles up. Thursday’s conversation, like the entire three-day flight, was private and so no details were released.  “Maverick, you can be our wingman anytime,” came the announcement from the flight’s Twitter feed.  Last year, NASA confirmed it was in talks with Cruise about visiting the International Space Station for filming. SpaceX would provide the lift, as it does for NASA astronauts.  Besides talking space with Cruise, the four capsule passengers chatted Thursday with young cancer patients. Hayley Arceneaux, a childhood cancer survivor, led the conversation from orbit with patients from the hospital that saved her life almost 20 years ago: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. A 6-year-old-boy wanted to know if there are cows on the moon — like in the nursery rhyme.  “I hope there will be one day. Right now, no, there aren’t,” replied another passenger, Sian Proctor. “We’re going to go back to the moon soon and we’re going to investigate all kinds of things about it.”
*********Wait… if there are no cows on the moon, how is it made of CHEESE??
*******Dr. Fauci rushed out with a statement: “There IS Covid on the moon, so you can’t go without being vaccinated!!”
*******If Tom was on his game, he would have said, “Look out the window,” as he floated by in a fighter jet!!!!

Queen Doesn’t Want The Palace To Be A Museum

Prince Charles is planning some major shakeups should he ever inherit the throne, including whittling down the monarchy to seven major figures and turning Buckingham Palace into a museum — something his mother, the Queen, is said to be firmly against.  A royal source told The Mirror the museum plan will “not be happening any time soon” while Her Majesty rules.  The palace is where the Queen raised her four children and has presided during her decades on the throne. She opened it up to the public in 1993, allowing visitors to tour select parts of the 775-room palace, but not the family apartments.  “She’s not very keen on that particular idea and believes of course, that it should remain a family home of sorts,” the source added.  One of the reasons Charles may be looking to offload the mega-home is the cost, which is millions to just maintain. It was last restored in WWII, and while a $500 million dollar renovation was approved in 2016, it won’t be ready until 2027.
********She found out that Charles wants her stuffed and mounted on the throne!! That’s what pissed her off!!
****He’s gonna suck at this king thing!!
******Can the British people recall a king?? We couldn’t do it in California!!
*****He also wants Camilla to have her own stall in the Royal stables!!

Justin Bieber Accused Of Being Bad Husband

Hailey Bieber is very happy with husband Justin Bieber, contrary to popular belief.  She lashed out at ongoing rumors that he has been mistreating her during a podcast interview with Demi Lovato.  “There’s so many narratives that float around about me, about him, about us together,” the model said on “4D with Demi Lovato” on Friday. “Like, ‘Justin is not nice to her and mistreats her’ and I’m just like… it’s so far from the truth and it’s the complete and utter opposite.”  She said that Bieber is not only her “best friend,” but that she feels “lucky” to be with someone who makes her “feel special every single day.”  “The truth is that we’ve literally never been so obsessed with each other and we have so much fun together,” she added.  This isn’t the first time Hailey has spoken out about rumors that her marriage to Justin isn’t a happy one.  After a video of Justin appearing to aggressively yell at Hailey in Las Vegas went viral, the Mrs. used Instagram to let fans know that wasn’t the case.
*******Hey, sometimes he gets his love and hate mixed up!! It happens!!!
******Isn’t her dad Alec Baldwin?? That means her ability to tolerate abuse is way, way higher than most people’s!”

Is Kim Kardashian Building A Vault?

Kim Kardashian is not planning to build an underground vault on her property, according to a report by TMZ.  One of her neighbors believes otherwise and has filed a lawsuit to stop her from renovating her land, as reported by People.  The lawsuit claims that Kardashian is not only planning to build an “underground vault, subterranean parking, an attached subterranean ‘wellness center’ and a detached guardhouse,” but that she’s also planning to have two hills on the property flattened.  The neighbor also claims that Kardashian is trying to build on “two high-pressure gas transmission lines” and fears it will result in “catastrophic bodily injury” as well as “irreparable real personal property damage.”  Kardashian is reportedly planning to build something on the land and has been following the appropriate guidelines to get approval from her homeowner’s association, according to the TMZ report, but it’s unclear what exactly she wants built.
********She doesn’t have to worry about building underground!! Elon Musk is tunneling up under house right now!!
*****She just need somewhere to store her ass when she’s not using it!!
*******It’s actually a secret lab where she’s growing future husbands!!!

STUPID NEWS

Skinny House Sold For Fat Price

Boston’s “Skinny House,” which, according to legend, was built during a family feud during the Civil War, has sold for $1.25 million.  A soldier found out after returning home from the Civil War his brother had built a property on their inherited land from their deceased father, leaving him with only a tiny section of property. Local legend has it he built the “Skinny House,” also nicknamed a “Spite House,” to block sunlight from his brother’s home, according to CBS Boston and The Washington Post.  “For $1.25 million you can live like a spiteful brother,” Travis Sachs, CL Properties executive vice president, told the Post. “That’s really something.”  The Skinny House at 44 Hull St. was listed for sale at $1.2 million, and the sale of the home closed Thursday for $1.25 million, according to Zillow.  The sage green house is 1,165 square feet and has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a private garden and roof deck. Its widest point is 10 feet and its narrowest point is 6.2 feet.

Whitest Paint

Researchers at Purdue University earned a Guinness World Record with an unusual development: the world’s whitest paint.  Xiulin Ruan, a professor of mechanical engineering at the West Lafayette, Ind., school, said the original aim of the project was to create a paint that would reflect sunlight from a building and thereby lower energy usage as a means of fighting climate change.  The paint, which incorporates barium sulphate particles, reflects 98.1% of solar radiation, making the painted surface noticeably cooler than surrounding surfaces, Ruan and his team found.  The process of making the paint reflective had a side-effect of making the paint extremely white, Ruan found. The barium sulphate was partially responsible for the color, and the usage of differing particle sizes in the paint caused it to reflect a greater spectrum of sunlight.
*******It’s kind of like Ben Affleck’s skin!!!
*****J Lo has bragged to her friends that she’s dating a “man of no color!!!”
*******Here we go!!! Now all the BUILDINGS will be supremely white!!!

Snake Knocks Out Power

Utility officials in North Carolina said a snake was responsible for a substation fire that left an entire town and the surrounding area without power.  Duke Energy said more than 1,400 customers in Denton and the surrounding area were without electricity Wednesday morning after a snake came into contact with equipment at a substation, sparking a fire.  “This is one of the reasons we are making electric grid improvements in the region,” Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks told WGHP-TV. “We often think of storms and trees which are the leading cause of outages, but other items like cars hitting utility poles and snakes and squirrels getting into equipment also cause a number of outages for electric utilities.”  The Denton Fire Department said the fire did major damage to the substation.  See the pic HERE.
**********The snake’s not doing too good, either!!!
*******Makes you wonder: why haven’t all the terrorists just thrown snakes into our power substations??
******Don’t worry… everyone just switched to their wind power turbines. NOT!!!!

Huge Tomato Vine!

A British gardener harvested 839 tomatoes from a single stem — nearly double the Guinness World Record. Douglas Smith of Stanstead Abbotts, England, said he planted his seeds in March, and this month he harvested 839 tomatoes from a single stem, or truss.  Smith’s harvest almost doubles the 448 grown on a single truss by Guinness World Record holder Graham Tranter in 2010.  Smith said he was careful to follow Guinness’ rules when growing and harvesting his tomatoes, and evidence from the attempt is being submitted to the record-keeping organization for official recognition.
*********Those are obviously tomatoes from another planet!!!
