Here are a few things in news, sports and pop culture that we've been talking about.

n The R-J's Norm Clarke reports that mobster Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal's former Las Vegas Country Club residence is on the market for $725,000. Bad vibes included at no extra charge.

n While delivering a story about Tiger Woods' u25B6 "bulging disk," a Golf Channel reporter accidentally substitutes another, surprisingly apropos, word. Thank you, Dr. Freud, wherever you are.

n Scientists say 1 percent to 4 percent of the DNA of most people today can be traced back to Neanderthals. The percentage is higher in morons who run onto the field during Major League Baseball games.

n The June issue of Playboy will include a 3-D Playmate. Oh, but they've always been three-dimensional to us.
