Actually, the anniversary was this morning. The ship hit the iceberg at 11:40 p.m. the night before, but didn’t get swallowed by the waves until almost two hours later. One of the biggest “What ifs” in world history has always been what would have happened had the cargo ship Californian, which was only a few miles away, come to the Titanic’s aid. Here’s a good article on that. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “I wanna see the movie Titanic, but I only have 30 seconds, not three hours. Also, wouldn’t it be kool if the characters were bunnies?” Well, you’ve come to the right website. Finally, do you think Titanic was the worst movie ever? Let me know by responding to my answer on the message board or by voting below.

It was on this very day, 140 years ago, that Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth, who in my mind is one of the most fascinating, albeit undoubtedly evil, people in American history. For example, did you know that he was an extremely famous actor, and that his brother Edward is considered the greatest American Shakespearean actor of the 19th century? In fact, Lincoln had actually seen JW Booth perform a few years before the assassination. There’s some interesting info in this article. And here’s another one that will tell you more about the conspiracy (Lincoln was not the only mnember of the government attacked that day). Hmmmmm, I wonder if Lincoln might show up in a wild card round soon.

Dunno if you saw this in the paper today, but it’s pretty great. The cops busted down a door when they heard someone crying “Help me! Help me!” Turns out it was a parrot.

After months of pathetic slacking by Goodtimes, he has finally posted teams in the 100 point club. Since his record keeping is, ahem, questionable, there are probably a couple of teams missing. If your team scored 100 and won or went to overtime, please contact Johnny and let him know, so he can add you to the list. Thanks for your patience.

Mike Tyson is going to fight in Washington, DC in a couple of months. And to honor this exciting moment, I have decided to include my all time favorite Mike Tyson quotes. Click below.

Here’s a collection of some of the stupidest things ever said that I’m fairly sure you’re going to enjoy.

Happy Birthday to Nicole (front, center) of As Dumb As We Look! If you got a birthday coming up, just let Johnny know so he can take a pic for the site.

The Johnny Goodtimes Ethics Committee, alarmed by what it saw at Rittenhouse Square over the weekend, reached a controversial decision on Tuesday, outlawing upturned collars at all Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Events. “We just can’t have a hallowed event such as quizzo compromised by a bunch of toolbags who, for whatever reason, want to look like 16 year old Main Liners,” said Committee member Sparky Beefcake. “Therefore we felt a need to implement this policy.” Offending players will be given one warning. If the collar remains in an upright position after the warning, the team will lose one point for each round the player carries on with this hoser fashion. They will lose an additional point if the shirt is pastel. Finally, if a player wears two shirts with the collars up, as was seen at the Park on Sunday, said player will be beaten with a metal chair.

One of the recent questions was about disco demolition night, perhaps the most ill-fated promotion in the history of sport. Here’s a really good article on the event.
