* all radio/TV call names were required to be four letters in length

* stations east of the Mississippi River were required to start their call names with ‘W’

* stations west of the Mississippi River were required to start their call names with ‘K’

For those of you who are old enough to know the movie The Graduate
 

Mike Nichols’s first choice for the role of Benjamin Braddock was Robert Redford.

Dustin Hoffman got the role, a relatively unknown actor at that time!

August 16th is Kathie Lee Gifford's birthday! Her husband, the late great Jet's halfback Frank Gifford had the same birthdate as well :bday2:

The movie Titanic...........
 

Gloria Stuart was the only person who worked on the film who was actually living in 1912 when the Titanic sunk.

Angela Bassett turned down the role that ultimately led to Halle Berry being the first African-American woman to win a Best Actress Oscar.

Silver Lining Playbook..........
 

Anne Hathaway was originally cast as Tiffany but due to scheduling conflicts she had to drop out, resulting in Jennifer Lawrence to get the role and nabbing the Best Actress Oscar in 2012.

"Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky in morning, sailor's take warning." This quote is actually true.

The bright, red, pure colors at night mean that the air is clear to the west and will be good weather in the morning. A red sky in the morning means that good, high pressure weather has already passed meaning low pressure weather (storms) will be coming to the east.

This is mY all time favorite saying..... ❤❤❤

Woodstock................
 

August 17th, 1969 was to be officially the final day of the Woodstock Music Festival billed as 3 days of peace and music near Bethel, N.Y. but ultimately it ran four days! On August 18th 11 additional acts performed!


Many believe it was the greatest gathering of 60's musicians and is still thought to be the greatest live concert ever staged.

James A. Garfield,Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman,Gerald Ford, Ronald Regan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama we also all lefties!

At least three presidents have been "ambidextrous," meaning they could use both hands to write.



James Garfield, Harry S. Truman, and Ronald Reagan. Reagan, in fact, was reported to be totally left handed; however, he was forced at an early age to switch, quite possibly because of the old beliefs that left handedness was a disability!

The last act was Jimi Hendrix, here's a video of him playing to the aftermath of Woodstock. Check out the people trying to find shoes!

I am rededicated..
 

Why is the nickname for Kansas the Sunflower State?
Inspired by this, George Morehouse filed legislation to make the Sunflower the state's official floral emblem. In 1903, the wild Sunflower became the official state flower of Kansas. (Interestingly, less than a decade earlier, lawmakers had unsuccessfully called for the eradication of the “noxious weed.”)Dec 10, 2015

And just for my useless information, the organizers of Woodstock tried to get Roy Rogers to sing "Happy Trails" after Jimi's set. He declined.

Oh, well-The reason natural gas has a rotten egg smell is that the smell (hydrogen sulfide) is added. In 1937 a school in oil-booming New London, Texas developed a gas leak. Gas filled the walls of the school but it had no scent. A shop teacher threw a switch, the school blew up, and 300+ students and teachers died. Now that smell alerts us to leaks.

Hoping if there really is such a thing as reincarnation, that I come back as a pig.:praying:

Why not come back as a Hyena? except for that childbirth thing...:|.



Female hyenas wear the pants in the family. They're bigger and stronger than the males. And definitely much more aggressive. Heck, they even got balls. Really.

A female hyena has a pseudopenis, basically an enlarged clitoris, that they can erect at will. To mate, the meeker male has to insert his penis into her pseudopenis. That's difficult for the males, but still nothing compared to the female having to give birth through a penis!

HIDDEN MICKEY: (at around 46 mins) One of the bugs that Timon pulls out of a knothole during Hakuna Matata is wearing Mickey Mouse ears. When Mufasa tells Simba about the Great Kings of the Past if you look at the stars in the wide shot you can see Mickey Mouse.
