1.5 million Armenian saints-biggest saint-making service in history!

Talk about a package deal! 

Believed to be the biggest canonisation service in history, the Armenian Church on Thursday conferred sainthood on some 1.5 million Armenians massacred by Ottoman forces a century ago, as tensions raged over Turkey's refusal to recognise the killings as genocide.

Mayweather’s dollar bill-lined mouthguard!

Check out Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s dollar bill-lined mouth guard below (from TMZ Sports) as one of his usual promo hype in the lead up to the fight of the century between  Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas .

Dr. Ed Dela Vega, the dentist who has been making mouth guards for Pacquiao since he was a scrawny featherweight, explained there may be structural integrities in Mayweather’s mouthpiece, especially with $100 dollar bills reportedly inserted into them.

“The mouthguards are laminated with several layers, there are three layers of lamination. If you put an insert that’s not made of plastic, what will happen is the lamination won’t work. The layers may separate and that will cause more problems,” he added.
