Lesser known facts about Prince
1. His real name was Prince. http://assets.rollingstone.com/asset...sts/prince.jpg 2. His symbol actually had a name: 'Love symbol #2' https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...667af0f9aa.jpg 3. He took a promotional tip from Willy Wonka In 2006, Universal hid 14 purple tickets—seven in the U.S. and seven internationally—inside Prince's latest album, 3121. Fans who found a purple ticket were invited to attend a private performance at Prince's Los Angeles home. http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/469780...=1461010191871 4. He screwed up on SNL During Prince's first appearance on Saturday Night Live, he performed the song "Partyup"¯ and sang the lyric, "Fightin' war is a such a f*ing bore."¯ It went unnoticed at the time, but in the closing segment, Charles Rocket clearly said, "I'd like to know who the f* did it."¯ This was the only episode of SNL where the f-bomb was dropped twice. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...20121013065625 5. He was a hell of a basketball player. Being so diminutive, quite impressive. https://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2...ince.gif?w=650 *Cut my teeth on Prince's music in the 80's, his androgynous look, his rated x lyrics. His take-no-prisoner in-your-face overt sexuality was captivating to observe. I was working in a Federal building in downtown Chicago when 'Purple Rain' was released. The building was 79 stories tall, hundreds of cubicles and offices. If there was 1 poster of Prince and his motorcycle from the film, there were dozens hung up on wall boards. Had a smile on my face every time I saw them. |

Rescued Circus Elephant Is Finally Reunited With Her 'Family.'
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/51852999.cms For almost 53 years of her life, Rhea had known nothing but a life of exploitation. But now, thanks to her rescuers, her abusive past is behind her and she will live out her days in freedom with the only family she’s ever known. According to Wildlife SOS, the organization responsible for securing her freedom, Rhea spent nearly her entire life as a circus elephant. She was likely taken from her family in the wild as a baby, before she was forced to endure a brutal training regime that would turn her into a performer. She would spend her life confined by ropes and heavy chains, and it would take a toll on her. The organization wrote in an update about her past: Her time in the circus has left Rhea riddled with ailments. Her feet are in atrocious conditions, with deep painful cracks running through her swollen soles. Her nails are cracked and her cuticles overgrown, testament to the neglect she has been subjected to all these years. She walks awkwardly, with a slight limp, and we are suspicious of more serious wounds or problems that can only be diagnosed once she is in our care at the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre, Mathura. Her rescuers hope she took comfort in the company of two other female elephants, Mia and Sita, who were the only family she had. http://dingo.care2.com/pictures/caus...5260.large.jpg http://cdn.grindtv.com/wp-content/up...first-meal.jpg http://www.care2.com/causes/rescued-...er-family.html *Geeez, I wish circuses would disappear :( |

Pot etiquette: How to behave when marijuana is legalized in Canada.
http://storage.brantfordexpositor.ca...=1355502446880 CBC News asked Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of renowned etiquette expert Emily Post and co-president of The Emily Post Institute, to weigh in on marijuana etiquette. "I think where it goes wrong is when people just assume that because it's legal they can do it anywhere, anytime and it doesn't matter," she said. "All the rules of good etiquette still apply." Marijuana at work? Probably not. Companies should develop policies around marijuana use as soon as legalization looks like it will move forward, Post said. Most businesses don't allow drinking on the job — and employees should treat legalized pot the same way, she said. More at the article. Ms. Post covers pot party etiquette, as well as would you suggest bringing pot on a first date? So many questions that just beg for answers. Just admit you inhaled though..... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/mariju...nada-1.3543219 http://25.media.tumblr.com/c29d8a29a...c00uo1_500.gif |
