Fridays with Spencer: My Chicken Legs are Crispy

A California man was stabbed by a chicken at a cockfight. He was stabbed in the leg by a bird with a blade attached to its beak. The blade apparently severed a major artery in his right calf. Even chickens know the leg is the best piece of meat.

One of the most famous political prisoners in Egypt’s crisis, Google executive Wael Ghonim, was freed Monday, according to his family. In a related story, Bing is sending it's executives to Egypt.

Bristol Palin just announced that she is working on her memoir, which will be published by HarperCollins. Palin, who had a baby out of wedlock at 18, daughter of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and Dancing with the Stars loser, will probably write about those three things. There, I just saved you 26 bucks.

Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark seems to be dead. With barely $10 million on hand and weekly operating costs of $1.2 million. And a source close to the show thinks this is the end of the show’s director, Julie Taymor, as well. “She’s finished,” he writes. “[N]o one will hire her to direct another Broadway musical.” But then again, Broadway types are always dramatic about their predictions.

Former New York Rep. Christopher Lee’s resigned this week after he sent a shirtless photo to a woman he met on Craigslist. A special election will be held to pick his replacement. Requirements to run for the seat: You must be at least 22 years old, live in the voting district, and be a hunky fireman.

Ashlee Simpson, the pop singer, sister of Jessica, and former MTV reality star, has filed for divorce from her husband, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, according to TMZ. The songstress cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. Simpson is asking for joint legal custody and primary physical custody of their 2-year-old son, as well as spousal and child support. To which Wentz replied, "Spousal AND child support?!? I'm a BASSIST in Fall Out Boy for Christ's sake! We haven't done anything in years!"

Take a look around. Do you have less space than you used to? Probably: The average American worker has just 75 square feet of personal space, down from 90 square feet in 1994. Offices have shrunk for most people as well, down to 96 square feet from 115 square feet in 1994. In a related story, stabbings are WAY up.

A Belgian senator is calling for a “sex strike” to thaw partisan differences that have kept the country’s Dutch-speaking north and French-speaking south from forming a government for eight months. Marleen Temmerman, also a gynecologist, said she got the idea from New York Congressman Christopher Lee's wife. CALLBACK!

That's all. Tell your friends.
