Just wanna send out a quick happy b-day to Melissa (middle of photo), who played at Black Sheep last night, and to Saddam Hussein, former totalitarian leader of Iraq! In honor of their b-days, why don’t we relive all the fun we had with Paper Rock Saddam!

Johnny Sample passed away on Tuesday at a hospital in Philadelphia. He was a hard hitting defensive back on several NFL teams in the 50′s and 60′s, and played in two of the most famous games ever: the 1958 sudden death game between the Giants and the Colts and Super Bowl III. He decided to make his home in Philadelphia after he retired from football. He also happened to be born just a few miles away from me on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Man, I wanna go to the Prince and see this thing about whether or not Abe Lincoln was gay. Seriously, it looks pretty interesting. Here’s some more info on Honest Abe’s swinging bachelorhood.

The Inky has a new column that certainly has me excited. It’s a recap of American Idol! There’s a niche that certainly hasn’t been oversaturated! Man, way to get creative, guys! It’s so hard to find info on this cult hit. Thanks for your help! Hey, how about a weekly column chronicling the latest in the Pitt-Aniston relationship? That would be awesome!

Don’t know if you saw this, but a Canadian woman forgot the lines to the “Star Spangled banner”, then slipped on the ice (might take a few seconds to load). Before you laugh, let’s find out if you know the words to her national anthem. What is the final line of O Canada (in English)? By the way, here’s another flubbed SSB, the one that Mo Cheeks stepped in on. Mo Cheeks rules.

MJ from the Real World was punched in the face at a bar in West Chester over the weekend. Police said it was unprovoked, which proves that the police never saw Real World Philadelphia. I would be a lot happier if they had punched Landon. Keep in mind that a few weeks ago, MJ said “F*** Philly. I hate Philly.” Damnit, now he’s going to hate West Chester, too.

Just check out the magic that is possible with a simple web cam…and a dream. While we’re at that website, why don’t we take a look at a list of children’s books that never really took off.

Does ANYONE give a s***? Are you kidding me? A THREE PART SERIES By the Inky about deer in the suburbs!!! I mean, did somebody at a staff meeting go, “Hey, I saw a short piece in the Bumf*** Times about deer in people’s yards. Whattya say we go a step further and do a three part series on it?” Elephants rampaging through a restaurant in South Korea? Great news story. Deer loitering in people’s yards in Lower Merion? Not so great.

There is a new scourge destroying the minds of America’s youth: e-mail. According to a new study, it is much worse for your IQ than smoking the reefer. i would write more, but I just sent out a bunch of e-mails, and now I’m just dying for some Cheetos and ice cream.

I’m sure there is a simple mathematical explanation for how this works, but I sure haven’t figured it out. Mind reading online.

On this day in 1918, the Red Baron was finally shot down. But the identity of his killer has been the subject of much debate. Here is a page that explores the controversy. Pretty interesting.
