All the way back to the mid 90's for today's one-hit wonder...can you name her?

Answer:  Dionne Farris


joke of the day



A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."




F-Bomb



New words were added to the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary yesterday, and they include

  • F-Bomb
  • Sexting
  • Flexitarian
  • Obesogenic
  • Energy drink
  • Life coach


F-bomb dates back to 1988 from a Newsday story about Mets catcher Gary Carter talking about how he had given up profanity.  F-bomb was brought back in the late 90's after Bobby Knight went F-bomb crazy during a locker room tirade.

The company picks about 100 new words a year.





Teddy.  


Teddy, the really rude cat.  Watch the video -- you can guess what's about to happen, but the cat's reaction after he did it is priceless.





Makes my Dentist Smile



This will make your teeth hurt -- Krispy Kreme are launching a new line of summer treats, including cotton candy donuts, caramel apple cake donuts, and a cotton candy chiller.

The cotton candy donut features the orginal Krispy Kreme dipped in cotton candy sugar.  Picture here 



Chocaholic News



Chocolate with fruit juice?  A university scientist has spent months developing a chocolate bar that looks, feels and tastes like chocolate, but contains fruit juice to replace 50% of chocolate's fat content.  Cocoa butter and milk fats that go into chocolate bars are swapped for tiny droplets of juice, which yes, will give it a fruity taste.  The team hopes the food industry will use the new technique to create healthy bars.




Gaga.  Lady Gaga.  Fame.


Here's the black goo trailer for Lady Gaga's new perfume.  You're as strange as ever, Gaga.  Love ya.
