  • One really cool thing the city of Lewisville does every time this time of year is have Santa ride on top of a firetruck through the neighborhood with lights and horns going on throwing candy to kids as they run outside.  That happened last night, and the 28 degree weather made it quit festive.
  • I really enjoy The Ticket’s white elephant day, but this year wasn’t as good as the last couple.  I did think Donovan’s “Out of Socket” (mocking Dale Hansen’s Unplugged) was quite funny.
  • Only one more girl needs to come forward about having a relationship with Tiger and a calender can be made.
  • Here’s an interesting map of every nuclear explosion since 1945.  What’s amazing is the number of nuclear explosions, I had no idea there have been more than a thousand.
  • The House GOP is pro-Christmas
  • Butterflies don’t fly very well in space
  • Not a bad idea: Microwave that plays YouTube videos while you cook
  • While watching Leno last night (it’s on in the background as I blog for you kind folks) I learned that Quentin Tarantino was in an episode of The Golden Girls.
  • I can’t tell if this video is fake or not, but some guy in NY can’t figure out what is happening to food, so he sets up a camera only to find out that a woman has been entering through a crawl space.  As a matter of act, as he sets up the camera, you can see her in the upper right hand corner.  Watch the video here and check out the answers to his most common questions on the right hand side.

Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave – although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet.

The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate.

The decade according to 9-year-olds

So much has defined this past decade, but imagine what it would be like if the past 9 years were the only years you had lived through. Yahoo! News editor Allison Louie-Garcia spoke to fourth graders in Orange County, Calif. to get some perspective on the ’00s from those who have only experienced it.  From naming the biggest celebrities, to discussing computer habits, to explaining 9/11, these 9-year-olds’ answers–often funny, sometimes sobering, always candid–offered a clear snapshot of life in the 21st Century.

A Wedding Registry for Wishes, Not Stuff

A Wish Registry is a wedding gift registry that allows you to register for meaningful wishes, rather than for “stuff”. Whether you wish for your dream home, your honeymoon, or your future child’s education fund… your wedding wish registry will be unique to you, because you create each item in your registry. The best part? Your guests will love giving gifts that make a difference in your life. And your gift registry funds will be paid to you in cash (money), making it easy to invest in your dreams, instead of more cutlery.
