I have nothing to do today so I found you some useless stuff and a few quotes.
“I’m tweeting to let you know I just posted on Facebook that I blogged about posting tweets on Facebook.” – John Coffey
“Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.” – Mel Brooks
“As you get older, the pickings get slimmer, but the people don’t” – Carrie Fisher
“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” – Katharine Hepburn
“No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.” – Dave Barry
Now, some useless information:
The Chicago Public School System requires blind students to take driver education classes.
In March of 2008, a man called Howard Stern’s satellite radio show to report that he thought he’d almost met him a few days earlier. It seems that while on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, the man spotted a tall person with long, dark, frizzy hair getting out of a limo. Believing it to be Stern, the man rushed over yelling “Yo, Howard, I am such a huge fan!”
When the person turned around, the man saw that it was Cher.
“You though I was Howard Stern?” Cher yelled back. “What did you have for breakfast this morning, a bowl of stupid?”
Only 2% of Americans are Natural Redheads.
Disneyland has a regulation-size basketball court for employees…inside the Matterhorn.
Groundhog Day comes from an early European celebration called CANDLEMAS – the day when clergymen blessed all the church candles – held every February 2nd, right between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Over the years the practice took on a superstitious component: If the sun shone on Candlemas, winter would supposedly continue. But if it was cloudy or rainy, winter was over.
Sometime before the 1800’s th Germans added a hedgehog to the mix (I don’t know – the're Germans for Christ sake) and if the hedgehog cast a shadow, winter would continue. If he didn’t cast a shadow, spring was on the say.
In the 19th century, the German immigrants brought the tradition with them to Pennsylvania. But there were no hedgehogs to be found so they improvised and used the groundhog instead.
Army Slang: American troops in Iraq call every day of their tour “Groundhog Day.” Same-o, Same-o – like the movie.
