Today is Laugh and Get Rich Day which recognizes how the power of laughter can help workers be more effective. There's is nothing like a good laugh at the office. Unless, of course, everyone is laughing until you walk in, and then nothing but uncomfortable silence. That's never good. Today is also Science Fiction Day.

Break-Up With Your Ex-Day
A love-advice website called YourTango.com found 71% of us think about our ex TOO MUCH. Why? Because it's impossible to totally cut things off with Twitter and Facebook at our fingertip! 48% of us (including 42% of married people) say we look at our ex's Facebook profile TOO OFTEN.

That's why the website has declared February 13th as "Break Up With Your Ex Day," which sets the stage perfectly for Valentines Day on the 14th. Here are their instructions on how to get him/her completely out of your life:

• Unfollow your ex on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and any other social networking sites;
• Untag and/or delete photos of yourself and that person online, on your computer and phone;
• Delete songs and playlists that remind you of the person;
• Block or erase the person on Google chat, AIM and other instant messaging services;
• Delete their numbers from your phone and their email addresses from your address book;
• Enlist the support of friends and community to detach and stay detached from your ex;
• Get back into the dating scene to complete the moving-on process.

They've even created a website that reward you with "I broke up with my ex" badgets. Check out http://www.breakupwithyourex.com/.

Lindsay's at #10? 10 child stars who became broken adults -- find out who's ahead of Lohan! (insert blog address here)

Child Stars That Hollywood Destroyed
There's no doubt that becoming a young star in Hollywood has *DANGER* written all over it. There have been too many cases where the temptations of fame overwhelm a young star while their parents fight each other over the riches. PopCrunch came up with a list of the worst-of-the-worst, and, believe it or not, Lindsay Lohan scratches the surface at #10. Who could be worse than Lindsay, or even former child star Charlie Sheen (who didn't even make the list)? Here are their top three:

3. Mackenzie Phillips - At one point she was bringing in $50-grand a week on "One Day At A Time," and most of it went directly back into cocaine. She was fired from the show after refusing to enter rehab, she almost died twice from overdoses, and she recently claimed to having an incestuous relationship with her father.


2. Gary Coleman - Gary went from starring in his own sitcom in the 80's, to working as a security guard in a shopping mall. He lost his job after punching a woman who made fun of his poor fortune. He was also arrested for running over some guy at a bowling alley, and for countless 'domestic disputes.' Oh, and he also wanted to be the governor of California.

1. Dana Plato - Gary's former co-star is what PopCrunch calls "possibly one of the darkest falls from celebrity grace." After "Diff'rent Strokes," her life went the way of drug addiction, alcohoism, and numerous pornographic movies. She even robbed a convenience store at one point. Her life ended in 1999 after a fatal overdose while living in a trailer park.

Those are three, get the rest of the PopCrunch list here.

Gotta See This

Now that he's invented the helmet shaver, he needs to invent the shaving shirt (for the back and chest), and shaving jeans (for your legs, of course). I'd stay far, far away from the shaving underwear.

Did You Know...

How much does love cost? $15.7 billion. That's how much the National Retail Foundation says we are going to spend on roses, greeting cards and dinners this Valentines Day. Men, as usual, spend twice as much as women - $158 vs. $75.79 - which obviously means we love you twice as much as you love us. So now we know...Source.

Surf This!

Y.O.M. stands for You Owe Me! Which then pretty explains what YOMTicket.com is all about. It's about reminding those that owe you something that you didn't forget. You create a ticket, schedule reminders, and send it off. Who could use this? Not many, only EVERY PERSON THAT HAS RELATIVES! The folks that created this site also created IOUTicket.com. Same thing, just reversed.
