And just when my head was starting to swell from factoid greatness. That's a stumper.

Keith Richards? I thought that was the name of the animated skeleton they had on stage during performances. wait, wait, you mean that's a guy?

Great movie...Blazing Saddles.

Close, his father was an active 14 year old. LOL

After months of uncertainty, Mick Jagger has managed to fit Queen Elizabeth II into his busy schedule. The Rolling Stones star said Tuesday that he will go to Buckingham Palace on Dec. 12 to accept his knighthood. After difficulties caused by his touring schedule, Jagger was initially slated to be knighted on Dec. 10, the same date as rugby star Jonny Wilkinson will be made a Member of the Order of the British Empire, or MBE. But Jagger did not want to distract attention away from the man who led England to the rugby World Cup title last month. "Mick is delighted that a date has been agreed for the investiture after spending over a year touring the world with the Rolling Stones," a Jagger spokesman said. "He would also like to express his gratitude to Buckingham Palace for their understanding of his other commitments over the last 18 months." The spokesman said the singer's 90-year-old father Joe will be joining him for the big day. The Stones have played 114 shows worldwide over the past 15 months. Source : Canoe

Marilyn Manson is the target of a criminal inquiry in Zurich, after a religious group made a formal complaint about his stage act. Zurich District Prosecutor Michael Scherrer said today (Dec. 2) that the artist was under investigation for allegedly breaching Swiss law protecting religion as well as making incitements to violence during a concert in the city in February 2001. Manson (real name: Brian Warner) and his band members take their first names from pop culture icons and their surnames from famous serial killers. He also uses the sobriquet "Antichrist Superstar," and is known for his ghastly, cadaverous look and macabre lyrics. His act has made him the target of religious and conservative groups around the world, including the Swiss-based Christians For Truth, which lodged the complaint. Scherrer said he interviewed Manson ahead of another sellout concert Sunday at a Zurich stadium, part of the artist's ongoing European tour. Christian groups and lawmakers in Zurich had tried unsuccessfully to have the latest concert banned on grounds that Manson's views were offensive to a majority of the population. The rocker rejected the accusations, Scherrer said. Manson cited artistic freedom and said his act was meant to provoke a debate about violence and religion. Scherrer said he had yet to decide whether to charge Manson. As previously reported, Manson and company will join Jane's Addiction for five upcoming North American shows, including a New Year's Eve gig in New York. Source - Billboard

Ah. ;) My Prof was dying to tell us this story this morning, but didn't want to take the time from the mid-term.

Guess who's going to be forced to sit through Highlander again. ;)

What she's not saying is that I took that after she called me and said that she had hit a sign. LMAO

:D That was great!

hopeless (As to not wreck the continiuty of the game, I'll edit in here. I have to give a HUGE lol to the association Method is about to make.)

Yeah, you can merge threads from two different forums.

You can't do anything here!

Interested in learning a far more practical and useful version of sign language? Check this out.

Similar to urban dictionary's method of determining meanings, this site has contributors offer translations of various hits of the 70's, 80's & 90's. It has some entertainment value, even if they aren't necessarily right on with the meanings. Some songs feature mild arguments among reviewers, as they poo poo each other's interpretations. link

My point was just the idea that the health board didn't really plan to spend money on it, and so weren't actively seeking a translator. (Which in a way is too bad, one of my geek friends of old had the dictionary and used it whenever possible)

Pretty close, Naked Gun.

Open Office!

Welcome Pebbles100!! Hope you like the site and the people.
