2. Well, after a long illness, Generalissimo Francisco Franco died

Wednesday. Reactions from world leaders were varied. Held in contempt as the last of the fascist dictators in the West by some, he was also eulogized by others, among them Richard Nixon, who said, quote "General Franco was a loyal friend and ally of the United States. He earned worldwide respect for Spain through firmness and fairness." Despite Franco's death and an expected burial tomorrow, doctors say the dictator's health has taken a turn for the worse.

3. Apparently someone has been watching CNN ...

... not only is he dead, he apparently died (according to Paula Zahn) of toenail fungus -- or bed-bug bites (according to Dr. Sangay Gupta) -- or foul play (according to Nancy Grace).

But Larry King will be interviewing him next Wednesday anyway, so maybe we'll get the EXCLUSIVE story then ...

4. Jane Curtin: [ fidgeting with birth control pills

Jane Curtin: < fidgeting with birth control pills, swallows one, then notices camera on her > Good evening! Our top story tonight..

A long-term study of contraception has resulted in a highly favorable evaluation of the diaphragm.. as opposed to the oral contraceptive.. pill.. which has had controversies over its side effects. The major complaint about the diaphragm, compared to the pill, is that the diaphragm is much harder to swallow.

5. "What's all this I hear about birth control diagrams?

Edited on Mon May-01-06 12:46 PM by NanceGreggs

Drawing diagrams isn't going to keep you from having babies -- and if you need a diagram to figure out what's going on, maybe you shouldn't be having sex in the first place ..."

JANE: "No, Emily, that's DIAPHRAMS, not DIAGRAMS!"

EMILY LITELLA: "Oh. Well, that's different. Nevermind."

DAN: "Well, you should know ALL about that kind of thing, Jane, you ignorant slut!"
