TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE QUOTE: "When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness." HINT: (1903-2003), English-born American comedian and actor who appeared on Broadway, in vaudeville, movies, television, and on the radio. RANDOM TIDBITS Many European countries believed that spirits, both good and evil, were active during the Twelve Days of Christmas. These spirits eventually evolved into Santa's elves, especially under the influence of Clement C. Moore's The Night Before Christmas (1779-1863) illustrated by Thomas Nast (1840-1902). Each year there are approximately 20,000 "rent-a-Santas" across the United States. "Rent-a-Santas" usually undergo seasonal training on how to maintain a jolly attitude under pressure from the public. They also receive practical advice, such as not accepting money from parents while children are looking and avoiding garlic, o

Subject: Resurrection

A pastor was presenting a children's sermon. During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was. Now, asking questions during children's sermons is crucial, but at the same time, asking children questions in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous. Having asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised his hand. The pastor called on him and the little boy said, "I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor." It took over ten minutes for the congregation to settle down enough from their laughter for the worship service to be continued.

Random Facts: 12/13/12

December 12, 2012, is the century's last sequential date (unless we go to a 13 month calendar really soon). But is there more to this unique arrangement of numbers than just oddity? A much-cited survey conducted by US-based David's Bridal estimated that around 7,500 brides would be getting married in America today — a 1,446 percent increase from 12/12/11. The New York Times wrote that many couples considered it lucky to get married on repetitive dates, with 07-07-07, 10-10-10 and 11-11-11 each breaking Las Vegas records. According to Chinese numerology, the number one is a yang number which is ruled by the sun and represents independence and individualism. Two is a yin number which is ruled by the moon and represents symmetry and balance. When placed together, the number 12 brings harmony to the yin and yang, balancing the feminine energy of the moon with the masculine energy of the sun. December is the 12th and last month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, but

Random Facts: 10/26/12t

While gold is currently around $1,700 an ounce, it reached an all-time high in 2011 of nearly $1,800 an ounce. Of course, gold has always been valuable not only as a material resource but also as a commodity. Gold is the sixteenth most rare of the chemical elements. Though it is one of the rarest metals, gold was the first to be discovered by man. It took half a year for word to reach the Atlantic coast that gold has been discovered in California. The discovery was made in 1848, but John Augustus Sutter and James Marshall tried to keep it a secret. It wasn't until President Polk, in December 1848, announced the discovery that the gold rush of 1949 began. We have lots of laws, not all of them good. But whether they intend to or not, many laws have very beneficial side effects. Town laws in the U.S. Midwest in the 1880s were passed prohibiting the sale of ice cream sodas on Sunday.

Trivia: 10/26/12: Standing on a solid rock.

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE QUOTE: "If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old." HINT: (1853-1937), American novelist and newspaper and magazine editor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. RANDOM TIDBITS The back of the New Hampshire state quarter depicts The Old Man of the Mountain, a natural rock formation that resembled the face of an elderly male and served as the state's emblem. We say "resembled" and "served" because, sadly, the formation collapsed off the side of Cannon Mountain on May 3, 2003. The Prudential Insurance Company began using the slogan "We have the strength of Gibraltar" back in 1896 and has employed an image of the Rock of Gibraltar as its logo ever since.

She is the 1968 Olympic Champion in Ladies' singles and a three-time World Champion (1966-1968).

In addition to that record, London also has the honor of being the first city to host the Paralympics, which took place in 1948 for wounded war veterans. The 1936 Berlin Olympics (also known as the 'Nazi' Olympics) were the first Olympic Games to ever be televised. Before the advent of television, sports fans had to make due with radio commentary, and before radios were ubiquitous, you could only read about the results of the events in the newspaper. In the past, the modern games were only canceled three times, always on account of war. The 1916 Summer Olympics in Berlin were

Daniel's Gloves I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of a quaint restaurant just offl the corner of the town-square. The food and the company were both especially good that day. As we talked, my attention was drawn outside, across the street. There, walking into town, was a man who appeared to be carrying all his worldly goods on his back. He was carrying, a well-worn sign that read, 'I will work for food.' My heart sank. I brought him to the attention of my friends and noticed that others around us had stopped eating to focus on him. Heads moved in a mixture of sadness and disbelief. We continued with our meal, but his image lingered in my mind. We finished our meal and went our separate ways. I had errands to do and quickly set out to accomplish them. I glanced toward the town square, looking somewhat halfheartedly for the strange visitor. I was fearful, knowing that seeing him again would call some response. I drove through town and saw nothing of him. I ma

Dr. Bob's joke

A motorcycle mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, take a look at this" The cardiologist, a bit surprised walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and said, "So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new. So how is that I make $30,000 a year and you make a million when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic, "Try doing it with the engine running."

God's Accuracy......... The Facts

This is awesome! How Great is our God!!! Our Creator and Redeemer . . . and do we THINK about it??? God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs. . . . .For example: -the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days; -those of the canary in 14 days; -those of the barnyard hen in 21 days; -The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days; -those of the mallard in 35 days; -The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!) God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily. The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His wor

"Neither," says the women. "I just want to know if I can sue Budweiser for all the ugly men I've slept with."

Trivia: Does mini-golf count?

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE QUOTE: "Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad." HINT: (1882-1956), English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems. RANDOM TIDBITS Golf club names rarely used in the game today include baffy (a four wood), brassie (a two wood), cleek (a two iron), mashie (a five iron), niblick (an eight iron), and spoon (a three wood). Jack Nicklaus's nickname, "The Golden Bear," has nothing to do with his blonde hair and stocky build. He earned it while playing golf in high school for the Upper Arlington (Ohio) Golden Bears. Before good-quality synthetic materials were developed, the "carpet" at miniature golf courses was typically made from green-dyed felt made from goat hair. In most of the world, scoring a two on a par-five hole is called an albatross; in the United States, it's known as a double eagle. Althea Gibs

Trivia: The Grand Ole Opry

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE QUOTE: "Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body." HINT: (1809-1894), American physician, poet, professor, lecturer, and author. RANDOM TIDBITS Ryman Auditorium was long the home of the Grande Ole Opry, but the structure wasn't originally built for that purpose. When it opened in 1892, it was called the Union Gospel Tabernacle. In 1950, a young man took the stage at the Grand Ole Opry and exhibited the banjo prowess that allowed him to win a national competition on the instrument. That 17-year-old was future Hee-Haw star Roy Clark. The radio show known as The Grand Ole Opry began life in 1925 as the WSM Barn Dance. A couple years later, when announcer George "Judge" Hay described the show's music as "grand ole opry" in contrast to "grand opera," the name stuck. Many of the most popular women ever to perform at the

2012: A Personal Observation from Yours Truly

Last night i was parked in my trailer watching the movie 2012 (mainly cause i was bored) and a horrifying thought crept into my mind. Assuming of course that the mayans weren't so phenomonally full of shit that they could fretalize all of wine country and still have leftovers, let's say that December 21st is in fact the end of the world as we know it. Holy disenfrachised voters Batman. No matter whether Romny wins or Obama squeeks by for a second term, he's still going to be the last president of this great country.

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE QUOTE: "Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do." HINT: (1899-1973), Irish novelist and short story writer. RANDOM TIDBITS A single drawing or inscription on a wall, door, or other surface is technically a graffito. Graffiti is the plural form of this word and the one most commonly used today in both the singular and plural contexts. The cover of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album depicts two buildings at 96/98 St. Mark's Place in Manhattan. Those visiting the location may be surprised to see five-story buildings because those on the cover only had four stories. The photo was specially cropped to "remove" one of the floors so that the image would fit squarely on the album cover. Statistics reveal that more than half the graffiti that crops up in major cities is put there by teenage boys. Since Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991, "fans" have scrawled

A Girl With Big Breasts

When I was 13, I hoped one day I would have a girlfriend with big breasts.
