This license also declares it self to be a centenial license plate 1909-2009, but I am not sure what centenial it is celebrating, maybe of the DMV.
Speculations from the crowd?

This fascinating diagram of Major League Baseball team names groups them together by type and origin.
There are more links with the origins of the team names at FlipFlopFlyBall.com. The name origin of "Phillies" is obvious, but did you know the Detroit Tigers are names after the Detroit Light Guard military unit, known as "The Tigers." So they are only named after an animal because what they were named for was named after an animal.

Every so often my computer screen suddenly goes blank and shows one color like this, one time it was bright green. The hard drive light blinks still so I suspect that the computer us still working but the video output is broken. Turning the monitor off and on doesn't fix it, and I have been to lazy to unplus the monitor from the computer to see if haty fixes it. Any ideas?

The ambulance was there when we got there and we wondered if someone had had a heart attack from eating the delicious burgers inside. To a certain segment of the population, an ambulance taking out a heart attack victim of the burgers would serve as a great advertisement for the burgers, others might take it as a warning.
Turns out there was no drama; they were just getting lunch themselves.

Lynn and I are remodeling one of our bathrooms. We have already picked tile, but I like to throw a wrench in the works and jokingly sent an e-mail today asking to use these Tetris tiles in blue instead:
Her clever answer was:
Her clever answer was:"But I'm too good at playing Tetris so the tiles will never build up enough to cover the bathroom."Game, set and match to Lynn. She really is good at tetris.

Mental Floss has a presidential lunchtime quiz today, "Who was president when? Part 2." So I went back and found quiz 1. These are hard since they give you the event and you need to guess who was president. I did alright on quiz one, but the questions grew more obscure on quiz two. I will probably tank quiz three when it comes out.
Alright history buffs, tell me how you do.
