\u27a2 Original James Bond actor\u00a0SEAN CONNERY<\/strong>\u00a0died in his sleep on Saturday, at the age of 90.\u00a0 There’s no cause of death, but his wife said he’d been suffering from dementia, and his son said that he’d been “unwell for some time.”<\/p>\n

Connery is most famous for being the first to play James Bond on the big screen.\u00a0 That was\u00a0“Dr. No”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0back in 1962.<\/p>\n

He later played Bond in the 1983 movie\u00a0“Never Say Never Again”<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 It was based on the novel\u00a0“Thunderball”<\/strong><\/em>, but was NOT produced by Eon Productions, which has done all 25 movies in the main Bond movie series.<\/p>\n

Interesting Fact:\u00a0 Connery’s wife suggested the title\u00a0“Never Say Never Again”<\/em>, because after making\u00a0“Diamonds Are Forever”<\/em>, Sean vowed to never make another Bond movie.\u00a0 But, 12 years later, he agreed to do this one.<\/p>\n

Here’s Sean Connery\u00a0talking<\/a>\u00a0about starring as James Bond, along with three-time Bond movie director, Terence Young, who explains Connery wasn’t the first, or even second, choice to play Bond.\u00a0 (Connery’s first was “Dr. No” in 1962.\u00a0 He was 007 in these others, “From Russia With Love”, “Goldfinger”, “Thunderball”, “You Only Live Twice”, “Diamonds Are Forever”, and “Never Say Never Again”.)<\/p>\n

\u27a2 A 32-year-old woman in Florida is facing\u00a0charges<\/a>\u00a0for a shipping label scheme where she scammed Amazon out of $165,000.\u00a0 She used 31 different accounts, and reused prepaid shipping labels for cancelled orders that they then reimbursed her for.\u00a0 Over five years, she returned around 42,000 items, and got $3.99 each time she did it.\u00a0 Here’s law enforcement, and a TV reporter at her door.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 There’s a 50-year-old guy named Dwight Turner in Davie, Florida.\u00a0 And he recently went to a small private animal sanctuary owned by a guy named Michael Poggi to pay $150 for a, quote, “full contact experience” with a black leopard.<\/p>\n

And as soon as Dwight got into the cage . . . the leopard MAULED the hell out of him.<\/p>\n

He spent a week in the emergency room and needed multiple surgeries after the leopard did a number on his head and right ear.<\/p>\n

Michael WAS licensed to have the leopard, but not to offer the contact experience . . . so now, he’s been cited for maintaining captive wildlife in an unsafe condition.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 It shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that men do NOT like to go to the doctor. But a survey by the Cleveland Clinic shows just HOW MUCH they don\u2019t like it. The study of almost 1,200 men in the US found that 65% of men avoid going to the doctor for as long as possible. 37% have withheld information from their doctor to avoid a potentially negative diagnosis, and a full 72% of men said they\u2019d rather do household chores (even including cleaning the toilet!) than visit the doctor.<\/p>\n
