Take the Star Trek Quiz Seven of Nine You are an outcast learning to cope and understand the ways of those around you. Your blunt honesty and intellectual capacity cause others to mistake you for egotistical...when really, you ARE just smarter than everyone else.
The outspoken leader of The Pretenders is 55 today. I love The Pretenders. "Packed" sucked, but each album since then has been great. I didn't think they could top "Get Close", but they did. I didn't think they could recover from the loss of Robbie McIntosh and Blair Cunningham, but they did, and original drummer Martin Chambers rejoined in 1993.
I know this sounds funny, but I'm serious. I think it might just work. That's why I didn't put it in the humor category. Some Hollywood actors (might have to be lesser known ones), make-up artists and special effects people could stage a phony ghostly appearance of some dead suicide bombers to tell their live bretheren that there are no virgins in the afterlife. Maybe they couldn't or shouldn't do it live. Maybe it should be a hologram projected on a cloud or something.
One of the best loved actors, he died of a heart attack at the age of 89. Starred in "Flight of the Phoenix", "It's a Wonderful Life", "Vertigo", the remake of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" among many others. What's your favorite Jimmy Stewart film? Mine is "Harvey".
The excellent actress and singer who portrayed Dorothy in the remake of "The Wizard of Oz" and starred in the 1954 version of "A Star is Born" died of a drug overdose at the age of 47.

Comedian, philosopher, actor, Mr. Conductor. Had the first HBO Special which contained a warning about offensive language. Had the list of the seven words you can't say on television. Keep stickin' it to 'em, George.
"Let's Stay Together" and "I'm So in Love With You" are among his hits. May he have many more (birthdays and hits). I saw him on the Apollo Theatre Hall of Fame broadcast several years ago. In the same segment were also Teddy Pendergrass, Chuck Jackson, Ben E. King and Brian McKnight. It was Al who brought down the house. Green started singing professionally at age 9, when he and his brothers formed a gospel quartet, the Greene Brothers, in their hometown of Forest City, Arkansas. (Gre...
Cheetah, the chimpanzee which co-starred in many Tarzan movies of the thirties and forties celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday with sugar-free cake. Because he has diabetes.

A line from the body of terpfan's new article here Link "consumers seem determined to move less" started me thinking: (I hate that. lol) Ever since the fifties, we've been hearing how "labor saving devices" would make our lives easier. "You won't have to work so hard. Machines will do it for you." The dream of fully automated/computerized homes (which are starting to become a reality), cars that drive themselves, etc have had a lot of people thinking, "Won't that be great?" Now a lot of...
Born Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien in London in 1939, The White Lady of Soul was immersed in the arts from a young age. Her father loved classical music and jazz, beating out rhythms on the back of her hand, encouraging the young Dusty to guess the musical piece. She was surrounded with jazz and blues and Dusty was bought up listening to a wide range of music. Gershwin, Rogers and Hart, Rogers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller, among others...
Who doesn't love Peanuts ? "You blockhead!" "Good grief." "Stupid beagle." I remember Sherman, Violet and Patty. (Not Peppermint Patty). I don't include Pig Pen because he appeared a lot more recently than the other three. I remember when they were drawn differently. They looked younger. Snoopy's imitation of a vulture. Of course the World War I flying ace vs. the Red Baron. Woodstock. Snoopy stealing Linus' blanket and Linus going cold turkey. Lucy pulling the ...
Here are three examples: This is what really gets me about the first one. Millsap also stated that not all the dogs died instantly, one of the dogs ran a short distance after being shot and another dog's head was stomped on, by Millsap, when it didn't die. Link The second one is the worst. Link In the third one, which happened not far from where I live, the cops pulled over a car in a case of mistaken identity. The dog was wagging its tail. The PIG claimed it was act...
