Statistics show that the rate of premature births in the U.S. was lower in 2008 than at the end of 2006. Do you want to know why? I've figured it out. The babies that were due in 2008 were born prematurely in 2007!
Boxer Manny Pacquiao won the WBC Super Welterweight title last Saturday night. Pacquiao has fought in eight different classes. Eight different classes! A great boxer, but come on!...the guy has a serious weight problem.
Studies show that cell phone use limits your driving ability as much as having 0.08% alcohol in your blood. So that's why text messages look like gibberish and make no sense at all.
In Major League Baseball news, Seattle pitcher Felix Hernandez has won the Cy Young Award. Isn't it interesting that today's highly paid ball players win these prestigious awards but they're apparently never good enough to actually have an award named after them?
It was 147 years ago today that Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. He wrote the speech on the back of an envelope. Today that envelope is worth nearly as much as it would cost to mail it.
When Lincoln practiced his Gettysburg Address, one of his advisers told him, "I wouldn't change a word of it....except 'refudiate'....you might want to come up with something else."
Happy Birthday today to Larry King. He's 77. Yes, it was 77 years ago today that Larry King came into this world...or as his mother put it, "butted in".
The doctor who delivered Larry King ran into a problem. He didn't know if he was cutting the umbilical cord or a suspender.
The publisher of the National Enquirer has filed for bankruptcy. At least, that's what I read in The Globe.
This just in...Fox News chief Roger Ailes has apologized for calling National Public Radio executives Nazis. Ailes said he was sorry and certainly regrets offending any members of the Nazi Party.
......Happy Friday and thanks for reading!
