pop quiz:  on this day in music



Where were you when Bananarama hit #1 with "Venus"???  Think back, because it happened on this day -- you tell me the year.  1983, 1986, or 1988?

Answer:  1986!  The song had also been a number one hit for Dutch group Shocking Blue in 1970.



joke of the day


A man who had come out of a complicated abdominal surgery was complaining of having a bump on his head and a terrible headache. The nurse, fearing that the man might be suffering from some post operative shock, spoke to the surgeon about it.

The doctor assured the nurse, “don’t worry about a thing. He really does have a bump on his head. About halfway into the operation we ran out of anesthetic.”


Greatest parents ever?


The only thing more stressful than flying with kids, is watching some people get all indignant as you bring your kids aboard an airplane.  There is a segment of the population that believes kids should never, ever fly.  They, of course, never gave their parents a hard time.  They were perfect.

This might even change the most hardcore flying-with-children haters.  Parents that, as they boarded a flight, passed out goody bags to fellow passengers full of candy apologizing in advance for any disturbance made by their twins.  Here's what the goody bag said:

Hello!  We’re twin baby boys on our first flight and  we’re only 14 weeks old!  We’ll try to be on our best behavior, but we’d  like to apologize in advance just in case we lose our cool, get scared or our  ears hurt. Our mom and dad (AKA our portable milk machine and our diaper  changer) have ear plugs available if you need them.  We are all sitting in 20E and 20F if you want to come by to get a pair.  We hope you have a great flight!

Love it -- they even brought ear plugs.

Gotta See This


Speakin' of twins -- see this?  Twins meet Night at the Roxbury





Too much thinkin'!


A quarter of men can't make a decision about (this) even after 20 minutes... what?  One in 20 take more than an hour to decide!!!  What could baffle so many men?

WHAT TO WEAR!

And if it weren't for the women in their lives, most men would look like a train wreck.  A British survey discovered that more than half of men confess that they rely on the woman in their life to pick out their outfits for them for the next day.  Kind of like their mom did when they were kids.

Of course, some guys still rely on mommy -- One in 20 still ask their moms to shop for their latest attire.

A third of men say they get dressed in less than two minutes, and one-in-six don't care about how they look.

Facbook/Phones:  What's the one thing you wish he would STOP wearing, but won't?
