A new survey had women rank their biggest fears for January . . . and 19% said their biggest worry is having a coworker see them naked.  One in five women worry about this?  More than anything else?  I'm confused.  Anyway, here's the full list . . .

 

 

#1.)  Going to the dentist.

 

#2.)  Getting on the scale after all their holiday eating and drinking.

 

#3.)  Having a coworker see them naked.

 

#4.)  Checking their bank balance in the wake of the holidays.

 

#5.)  Getting dumped.

 

#6.)  Taking a driving test.

 

 

The survey also found 17% of women and 20% of men say that if they break their New Year's resolutions in January, they'll lie to friends and family and say they've kept them perfectly. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Report of a Baby Lion Loose in Virginia Turns Out to Be a Dog Groomed to Look Like One:

 

 

On Tuesday, FOUR people in Norfolk, Virginia called 911 to report a BABY LION running loose in the streets.  The calls came from people near the ZOO, so the first thought was that a baby lion had broken out.

 

 

Fortunately, the truth was WAY more adorable and WAY less deadly.

 

 

It turned out it wasn't a baby lion . . . it was a DOG that was groomed to LOOK LIKE ONE.

 

 

The dog is a Labrador-poodle mix . . . also known as a labradoodle.  The owner went to Old Dominion University in Norfolk, and their mascot is the lion, so he had his dog groomed with a dyed MANE and puffy lion tail.

 

 

The guy owns a lawn and garden store in the area.  On Tuesday, the dog was at the store but had wandered off into the street.  He's been reunited with his owner.
