Ranting rapper Kanye West secretly escorted reality TV vixen Kim Kardashian to the Oklahoma City home of his 97-year-old grandfather — and the old man was bowled over by her curvaceous beauty, but skeptical on the subject of marriage.

“She is beautiful — and she’s just as sweet as she is beautiful — and that’s what I liked about her!” said Portwood Williams Sr., the wizened-but-wise grandad who has long been a tower of strength for West.

“She was just down to earth, she’s rich, and those kinds of people, they’ve got everything,” added Williams, a veteran of Oklahoma’s civil rights sit-ins of the 1950s who helped desegregate lunch counters.

But the retired furniture refinisher also said in an exclusive interview he “couldn’t care less” if West weds the visibly pregnant Kim, expecting her first child this July.

Fauja Singh finished the Hong Kong Marathon's 10-kilometer (6.25-mile) race in 1 hour, 32 minutes, 28 seconds.

Rebranding Nigeria - The Congressman/Leader As an Albatross

Click banner for more info

 Honourable Minister of Information and Communications, the erstwhile NAFDAC strongwoman, Prof. Dora Akunyili launched a project called the rebranding of Nigeria which in a nutshell, despite all the big grammar, basically had to do with changing the way we perceive ourselves and the way foreigners see us. Rebuilding our national image was a thing of pride and urgency in other to emphasize and highlight our good points instead of the bad ones. Good talk, if you ignore the fact that the Honourable Minister lost her phone at the occasion. Welcome to the real Nigeria.

At 52 years, Nigeria has really come to stay. Necessity condemns us to co-existence. The truth is that the geographical entity called Nigeria, never mind that we are yet to attain nationhood and never may, at this rate, has coalesced into one solid structure around and within which several very diverse tribes and world outlooks have tried to carve a niche and compete with each other for the resources available mainly in one geopolitical zone of the country. There has come to be some, well, if not understanding, then mere acknowledgment that we will all carry one international passport and use one currency.

Read How Tattoos could Help Save Your Life

So they’re not exactly cute, but if you came of age during the 90s, chances are you have at least regrettable tattoo anyway. (Raise your hand if that same tattoo is in the shape of a butterfly!)   But the latest temporary smart tattoos do much more than serve as a symbol of misspent youth; they can read a body’s internal processes and alert the user of potential dangers like a dip in blood sugar or a drop in kidney function− all without having to draw any blood.

A recent collaboration between researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Toronto created a lightweight and stick-on “smart tattoo.” Embedded in its fibers are a set of “ion-selective electrodes” which is a cooler way of saying “sensors that detect the pH or salt levels of the skin, as well minerals like potassium, and even blood oxidation."

A hopeless romantic wants to buy his girlfriend the engagement ring of her dreams, but alas, he doesnt have the means to make it happen.

The kicker: She dumped him. No word as to whether he kept the receipt to get the kidney back.
