WORD OF THE DAY -
Lachrymatory - It' a small glass bottle usually with a teardrop body and a tall narrow neck, of a kind found in quantity in Roman tombs. So if you're the kind of guy who hangs out in Roman tombs....you should know that.
ON THIS DAY -
1977 The United States launched Voyager 2, an unmanned spacecraft carrying a 12-inch copper phonograph record containing greetings in dozens of languages, samples of music and sounds of nature. What very few people know is that a NASA scientist who was passed up for a promotion secretly switched that copper record with "Bat Out of Hell" from Meatloaf. We are surely doomed as a race.
BIRTHDAYS -
Robert Plant is 60, Al Roker is 54 and Fred Durst of "Limp Bizkit" is 38 today.
NEWS!
Tropical Storm Fay bears down on Florida's Atlantic Coast, where it looks to intensify and curve back toward the state — possibly as a hurricane. Florida Governor Charlie Christ has declared a state of emergency and is seeking federal aid which he'll get. He also said that the wildfires his state had been dealing with recently have all but gone out, and thanked the tropical storm adding, "California should get one".
The two yahoos from Georgia who found the "Bigfoot" corpse have vanished, along with $50,000 that searchingforbigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi gave them. Turns out...drum roll please...the beast was a fake! It was a rubber suit and dear entrails in the freezer that captivated America for a couple of days. Tom Biscardi, when asked how he feels about being bonked out of 50 grand replied, [SOUND]. He's pissed....can't blame him.
Finally this morning, here's the headline : "Man Kills Girlfriend While Showing Her Gun". A 23-year-old man's attempt to show his girlfriend a pistol ended when the gun went off, killing her. Curtis C. Murray is the brainiac's name and apparently had a few things to show his girlfriend that night. Among them were, "check out my new way to test for bad chicken", "take a look at my latest invention....I can fly!", and "you want to try one of these?...I found them out by the storm drain...". Imagine how much better the world would be if he had just done one of those first....sigh.
