American Loose Ends - Fun Facts

QUICK TO SWOOP

June 26th 2009 11:19
Michael Jackson
With the announcement of Michael Jackson's death, I thought everyone was quick with the new jokes, (in fact some sites have gone down with the amount of traffic online today) but not as quick it turns out, as people are to begin selling off their Michael Jackson memorabilia on Ebay.

In fact I counted up to 15 pages newly listed from today before I stopped - the list is seemingly endless. (What colour will his ghost be by the way???)

Tickets for the concert that will never happen are also still up for sale and to ridiculous extremes such as number 330339900705 which is now well into the millions. Legitimate or not? You be the judge, but who's to say what will or won't be collectible in the future.

The Ultimate PMS WARNING System

January 29th 2009 08:51
PMS woman with gun
Hey guys, ever wanted a simpler and easier way to track when you beloved girlfriend or wife is about to have the Cranky bus in town? Yes, I'm talking about a PMS Early warning System - not to be confused with the Tsunami Early Warning System although some of the symptoms can be commonly held by both.

Well now you can with the help of PMSBuddy which, with the motto of "saving relationships one month at a time," tracks those errant cycles and giving men a heads up when to maybe tread a little more lightly. Found at www.PMSBuddy.com, the service has signed up many thousands of men, as well as women who are also signing up to send their partners early alerts.

SOCK and AWE - Fancy a Go???

December 16th 2008 21:06
George W. Bush U.S. President
Following in the footsteps of the Iraqi journalist who recently hurled his shoe at George W. Bush, the online game Sock and Awe, has been drawing high numbers of people willing to throw their shoes and socks at the outgoing U.S. president's image.

The soles of shoes are considered to be the ultimate insult in Arab culture - at the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad in April 2003, many people used the soles of their shoes to beat it.

Having been asked the other day whether we, as Australians, live in actual houses? (As opposed to what I don't know - tents perhaps???) I've decided to list some of the most common questions asked by visitors to Australia as were pointed out recently by one of our tourism websites.

Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I've never seen it rain on TV. How do your plants grow? (UK)

Levi's are NOT Really Jeans!

February 13th 2008 10:15
denim jeans
When Levi Strauss invented jeans during the late 1800's, he did not call his 'strange' pants denim jeans or even jeans at all.

Supposedly these strange trousers were originally made out of sailcloth and canvas for miners and prospectors to wear as they had been complaining about how their ordinary pants would stretch and split while on the job.
