WORD OF THE DAY -Galactophagist - A milk drinker!
ON THIS DAY -
1946 The United States detonated an atomic bomb at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific in the first underwater test of the device. Since then bikini's have been at least partially responsible for many things going off underwater! HA!
1978 The first baby conceived by in-vitro fertilization was born in Oldham, England. Musta been tough going through high-shcool with the nickname "Baster Boy"...
1984 Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to walk in space, which was of course a spinn-off of the great Muppet classic bit, "Commies In Space!"
BIRTHDAYS -
Basketball hall of famer Nate Thurmond is 67, Actress Bobbie Eakes is 47 and Jem Finer of The Pogues is 53!! (He's the "Pogue" that still has teeth)
NEWS!!
We start off with something straight out of nightmare 101. Terrified workers at a mining compound in one of Russia's most isolated regions are refusing to go to work after a pack of giant polar bears attacked and ate two of their friends. Can you blame them? Imagine showing up at your office and finding a giant polar bear just finishing up the guy who sits next to you. I don't know about you, but I'd be on my way to the OMBUDS office. Yep.
From the "good, quality parents" department, A Rhode Island parent has been arrested for allegedly showing teenagers porn, then offering one of them alcohol and cigarettes at a Boy Scout camp. Here's the best part...his name is Randolph Johnson! HA!! So just to clarify, a bunch of boy scouts were sitting around watching Johnson's porn. Okay. He also gave them booze and cigarettes.
Finally this morning, a report on how the mundane cubicle life can sometimes lead to unconventional forms of "at office" entertainment. The latest "cubitainment" to hit the fluorescent lit desk farms of America is called the "Vending Machine Challenge". It's essentially what it sounds like, eat one of everything in the vending machine where you work...in one day. Initially it sounds easy, but when you drill down you realize that the typical vending machine has as many as 10,000 or more calories and possibly an entire pound of fat from just a 1 each sampling. The first person I know of to take the challenge was defeated quickly... However, down the street at another office, word of the challenge spread quickly and was attempted by a more "professional" junk food consumer. Some of his colleagues however didn't buy it. His name is Britt Wells, and in this first installment of "The Vending Machine Challenge Wars", he tells us the how's and why's. (Listen to the show!!)
