And Get Me a Beer While You're Up
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first mass-produced color TV set. It was from RCA, had a 12" screen, and sold for about $1000.

One can only hope that man's greatest invention, the recliner, had already been developed.

Pride in One's Work
Explosives were found yesterday along a rail line in France. It is the second such discovery in just over a month. A previously unknown group calling itself AZF has claimed responsibility for the foiled incidents.

Today, however, the group released another letter saying it will suspend it's threats until it improves the quality of its explosives.

Hey, they may be terrorists, but at least they're polite terrorists.

What is this world coming to when Richard Simmons starts beating up people?

Yes, it's true. The fitness guru has been charged with assault after reportedly slapping a man at the Phoenix Airport last night. The victim's name was not immediately available.

That's certainly understandable. If I had gotten my ass kicked by Simmons, I'd want to remain anonymous, too.
