The National Enquirer thinks so.  And they claim Chris Brown knew it when he beat her up before the Grammys. 

Think this is legit?  Or just tabloid crap?

If you listened to the End this morning, you probably heard the Wake Up Call trying to set a record for smashing watermelons with their head. After the show, they asked me to take the challenge myself.  Click below to see if I succeeded.

History is one of my favorite subjects to learn about, so here’s a fun historical quirk about George Washington, who’s birthday we just celebrated as part of President’s Day.  Hopefully you know that we traditionally celebrate our first president’s birthday on February 22nd.  But he was wasn’t actually born on February 22.  Huh?  Here’s the story…

It sounds very strange to us now in our modern 21st century world, but back in the 1700’s the entire planet didn’t use the same calendar!  This would be unthinkable for us today, but back then when communication (and everything else for that matter) moved very slowly, the fact that Great Britian and the American colonies were 11 days off from the rest of Europe evidently wasn’t that big of a deal.  In 1750 though, British Parliament finally decided to change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, so now all of Europe would synch up and agree on what the date was.  The Brits decided to implement the change in September 1752, but here’s the funny part: since on the old calendar they were 11 days behind the rest of the continent, to even things out they had to skip directly from September 2nd to September 14th that year!  Like those 11 days didn’t even exist!  And if that wasn’t odd enough, now to keep things correct historically, the dates of everything that happened before September 14, 1752 suddenly had to get pushed forward 11 days.  So if your birthday used to be February 11th, it suddenly was now February 22nd!  Such was the case with George Washington, who celebrated Feb. 11th as his birthday up until he was 20, and then had to get used to his new birthday of Feb. 22nd.  How strange would that be, having your birthday change in the middle of your life?  Well, I hope you enjoyed this random historical moment, now back to your current fast-paced life!

Friday the 13th

Posted in: Horror

Friday the 13th (Rated R)
Gavin Grade: F

I like horror movies! I truly do!  Not only am I fan of horror movies, but I’m even a fan of re-making horror movies.  I think that the classic horrors can always use a touch-up and a sprucing in the story department.  However, the re-make of “Friday the 13th” was simply a reminder of why this franchise was always my least favorite.  Jason, in comparison with the other big ones (ie: Leatherface, Freddy Kruger and Michael Myers) always seemed so stilted in his folklore.  I never even really understood it.  Is he alive, dead, a demon…what?  And considering that they marketed this as a re-make, they didn’t do anything to help explain that.  In fact it’s not much of a re-make at all.  If anything it just felt like another terrible sequel; almost like one last attempt to kick-start a dead franchise.  But in the movie’s defense, that’s all any of these re-makes are.  ”Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Hills Have Eyes,” “Halloween” were all trying to squeeze more cash from them, but they all brought something new to the table.  ”Friday the 13th” not only doesn’t bring anything new, they don’t even bring anything old.  Sure there’s still the violence, sex and startles, but it’s executed in such a piss-poor manner that it screams “zero effort.”  It’s like they knew this was gonna make them some money, so all they did was hire gorgeous (subpar) actors, whip up a mindless script and then throw lots of money at it to see if it works.  Well, it didn’t.  It didn’t scare.  It didn’t make me laugh.  It didn’t make me jump.  The only thing it did was make me wish that the forthcoming re-makes of “Nightmare on Elm Street,” “Hellraiser” and “Last House on the Left” don’t follow suit.
