Our Very Own Lindsay Lohan
Nice to see that Canada has finally seen some action in the police photo sweepstakes.
NHL players Jordan Staal (Pittsburgh Penguins), Eric Staal (Carolina Hurricans), and participants in Eric's bachelor party festivities managed to fill the local jail in Lutsen, Minnesota after being arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. There wasn't enough room in the jail for everyone, so Jordan and two others were released.
Perhaps Lindsay Lohan could call Eric Staal and offer him some of her vast wisdom on getting arrested and having your mugshot splashed across newspapers all over the country.
Will Ferrell In The Interrogation Room
Looks like Will Ferrell is making a whole series of vids detailing his problems in life.
Check out this new clip where Will is subjected to the most brutal interrogation ever caught on tape. Nobody should be subject to this kind of abuse. This makes Guantanamo Bay look like the Four Seasons.

Brian May Is A Rocket Scientist, Almost.
Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, is going back to school to complete his Doctorate in Astrophysics.
Is there anything that Queen cannot do?
Simpsons - Phish
Glide Magazine has written it best:
Page McConnell has been tapped to make a special appearance tomorrow in Springfield, Vermont for the premiere of the Simpsons Movie. The sleepy town in Vermont recently beat out 13 other Springfields to win the honors of hosting the “hometown” premiere.
The Chairman of the Boards will be performing as part of the yellow carpet/VIP gathering before the movie begins. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought it just wouldn’t be a true Vermont affair without a member of the popular rock band Phish. What symbolizes the headiness of that state more than The Phish from Vermont? Perhaps Page can convince some of his former bandmates to join him. Groening and the movie’s director David Silverman will be among those flying in from the Simpsons’ main office in California for the event.

Harry Potter - Update
An update for all of the loyal Daily Dyson readers: not one single member of the editorial board has purchased the new Harry Potter book.
Our policy here is not to purchase books that do not appear on the New York Times bestseller list.
Elitist? Perhaps.
The Times and the Daily have a reciprocity agreement. Our lawyers have advised us to follow that agreement and all of its details.

Soccer Hooligans Appear!
After weeks of waiting for the violence that usually accompanies international soccer matches, the Chilean U-20 team finally satisfied the bloodthirst last night.
After their 3-0 loss to Argentina the boys from Chile were pretty angry. Angry enough to demolish their bus, fight with the cops and security, and in the end be placed under strict supervision of their national delegation.
Well done Chile.

Rugby - Like You've Never Seen It Before
Some recent ads for the Rugby World Cup, coming up in September in October in France.

Miscellany For Today
A most unusual day for the editorial board at the Daily Dyson. With so many fascinating news stories out there today we have decided to not decide.
Today, the Daily Dyson presents you with a list of very important topics. Enjoy!
Why you should never smash a can of WD40.
A yummy, but unhealthy pizza.
Century old outhouses may sometimes yield some very valuable crap.

Congratulations Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies are now the most losing-est team in professional sports.
Loss number 10,000 is unmatched anywhere else.
And the most satisfying loss? Game 6, 1993 World Series. Joe Carter belts a home run to win the World Series for the second year in a row for the Toronto Blue Jays. Definitely one of the greatest moments in baseball history.
And The People Shall Speak...
TimTutsch.ca has decided that the new taxes being proposed in the city of Toronto are wrong, and he has done something about it.

I'm Too Sexy For My Bus
A German woman was thrown off a bus because the driver felt that she was showing too much cleavage on his bus.
I get thrown off the bus all the time for being Ridiculously Good Looking. I feel her pain.

You're Fired
Apparently 15 percent of men said that they would fire someone via Messenger.
...
Probably one of the most useless stories to ever get posted to the Daily Dyson.
Keep on rocking.

Metallica Lead Singer A Terrorist?
Now this is going too far.
James Hetfield of Metallica was detained at a UK airport because his beard resembled that of the Taliban.
Come on.
Arresting him for corrupting our youth with wickedly awesome heavy metal guitar solos I can understand, but for having a long beard?
