Today is Tuesday, October 27, 2015.   Did you know that you can pair wine with Halloween candy?  Jupiter, Venus, and Mars are in the sky.  Kiera Johnson says she met the ghost of Michael Jackson in an intimate way.

Pair Wine With Halloween Candy

Did you know that you can pair wine with Halloween candy?  Why wouldn’t you?

The fine folks at Vivino created an awesome info-graphic.  Before you get your favorite Halloween candy, check the graph and buy the right wine to go with the candy.  For example, if you like your Skittles, consider pairing them with a lovely white wine.

 

Jupiter, Venus, and Mars

Throughout the week you will be able to see Jupiter, Venus, and Mars in the same sky.  Your best opportunity will be just before sunrise.  Look eastward and you should easily spot Venus, which will be the brightest spot in the sky.

Though the planets should be easy to spot with the naked eye because they’re so bright, if you grab some binoculars or a telescope, you could also spot Jupiter’s four major moons. The last time these three were so close together was May 2013, and it won’t happen again until 2021. An added bonus for planetary enthusiasts: Mercury, which does not appear often, can be seen along the horizon.

Maybe pair wine with Halloween candy and catch the view.

The Ghost of Michael Jackson

A 32-year-old woman named Kiera Johnson is claiming that the ghost of Michael Jackson impregnated her.  The married mother-of-two says that the ghost took advantage of her after she watched the 2 hour Michael Jackson 30 Year Anniversary Special on DVD.

Johnson and her husband are both white.  She says that she has never cheated.  On September 25, 2015 she gave birth to her third child. “Everything was going well with the birth,” said her husband Ken. “But then when I saw my son, and he was black, I said ‘What the h-e-double hockey sticks is this!’ I was in absolute shock. That’s when Kiera told me about her terrifying dream. I think it’s wrong what happened and that’s why we are suing Michael Jackson’s estate. We just want a decent amount of child support to help raise his son.”
