Viagra dissolved in water can make cut flowers stand up straight for up to a week beyond their natural lifespan. And millions of men everywhere are grateful.
One particularly monstrous black hole has probably been humming B flat for billions of years, but at a pitch no human could hear, astronomers say. It's probably a better musician than I am.
In John Carpenter's horror classic Halloween (1978), the mask Micheal Myers wears as he kills everyone was bought off the shelf, a William Shatner Captain Kirk mask. He has always given me the creeps.
Willie Nelson, 81, recently qualified as a fifth degree black belt. Wow.
Alleged racist NBA team owner Donald Sterling was about to receive an award from the NAACP when the controversy started. He received its Humanitarian Award in 2009. He has written the organization several checks. Money makes strange bedfellows.
Former pro wrestling star The Iron Sheik is the subject of a new film, The Sheik. He was profiled in an article in today's NY Post. Two circumstances were eye-opening. Here's a link to the doc: http://sheikmovie.com/
And here's a pic of him with the manager who guided him to WWF title, Ayatollah Fred Blassie. "Bali, bali!"
My favorite Met of all-time, Mookie Wilson, has written a book, co-authored by Erik Sherman: Life, Baseball, and the '86 Mets. It is available in hardcover, Kindle and audio at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Mookie-Life-Baseball-%C2%9286-Mets/dp/0425271323/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1398862290&sr=1-1 Here is the text of Bob Murphy's great call of the bizarre ending of Game Six of the World Series: "Mookie Wilson still hopes to win it for New York ... 3-2 the count ... And the pitch by Stanley ... And a ground ball trickling ... It's a fair ball. It gets by Buckner! Rounding third is Knight ... The Mets will win the ballgame ... They Mets win! They win!" Hard to believe it was 28 years ago.
It may be time to build an ark. I went out three times today, hours apart, and conditions were equally miserable. At least I'd planned chores to fill the hours. The first thing I did was take my car to the shop to address the worn front brakes my mechanic spotted during inspection last month. At mid day I cashed recyclables and did a little shopping, then picked up the car. A half hour ago I hit Waj's gyro stand. The chicken wasn't ready, so I had the lamb. It was fresh and delicious. Hopefully the forecast is correct and the rain will cease in the AM. It's supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow. That's hard to believe given how raw it is today.
For the fourth straight month the floating book shop's take increased. Still small potatoes, though.
