-Cold Day in Hell - marking this day in 1979 when snow fell for the first time in recorded history in the Sahara Desert
QUESTION: What did you used to say "it'll be a cold day in hell" about...but were wrong! Saints winning the Super Bowl? African American president? Before she'd ever marry you? Before you take ballroom dancing lessons?

What folks are Googlin' today"tesla plane crash" - Three employees of Tesla, the electric car-maker (not the band), died when their plane crashed shortly after takeoff in California's Silicon Valley. The plane, a twin-engine Cessna, clipped a power tower just after taking off. The tower sliced the planes wing off which crashed into an empty day-care center. The rest of the plane slammed into a street. Nobody on the ground was injured. Amazing.
"tiger woods" - Tiger Woods will address the public for the first time since the ugliness of his personal life became public. See below for more details.
"vonn wins gold"-Womens-downhill-champ-Lindsey-Vonn-One-Gold-four-to-go-VIDEO - She lived up to the hype! Lindsey Vonn won gold in the Ladies downhill yesterday. "I dreamed about what this would feel like but it is much better in real life,” the 25-year-old Vonn said in a media conference. USA teammate Julia Mancuso took silver. Watch the details here
"garbage island" - It's a large, swirling and drifting island... of garbage. Garbage island, which starts 500 nautical miles from the western U.S., across the northern Pacific to an area near Japan, is the world's largest heap of trash. It's made up of everything we throw into the ocean that floats - Frisbees, plastic swimming pools, footballs, etc. All of those items end up at a vortex - a place of high pressure where water circulates slowly. It's huge. Experts say it's about twice the size of the continental United States, and one expert said Tuesday that it will likely double in size in the next ten years. Picture here

Light 'em up!What should Tiger say?
Tiger Woods will break his silence on Friday morning in will probably one of the most watched events of the year. Tiger will speak to a "small group of friends, colleagues and close associates," his agent said. Mark Steinberg told the AP that this appearance is "all about the next step." He will talk about his past and apologize for his behavior. The event will be carried live, Friday morning at 11. What would you like to hear come out of his mouth? Should he get back in the game? Should he step aside for another year? Will his wife be by his side? Will he talk about his time in rehab?

Give us your best, "I can't help it, I'm pregnant," story.
A pregnant woman started a brawl at a Memphis Chuck E. Cheese after a women told her to hurry up while in a photo booth. Juaneka Key, 18 and pregnant, was at Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate her 2-year olds birthday. While she was helping two younger relatives work the photo booth, another woman in line yelled, "Dang, how long you gonna be?" That's when Juaneka lost it, and with help from her father-in-law jumped the woman and the people she was with. Juaneka lost it - she even continued kicking the woman as she hid under a table. The pregnant mother of two, along with her family, all got a police escort to the Memphis jail.

CELEBRITY TWEETS
American Idol takes the gold (sorry) Tuesday night. Idol beat the Olympics head-to-head between 8 and 10pm. Lost, on the other hand, is REALLY lost. The show keeps losing viewers. It went from 12.1 million viewers three weeks ago to 9.8 on Tuesday night. Looks like this would've been the last season whether they chose it or not!
