What is your all time favorite "greasy food" ? Pizza - with tons of cheese and pepperoni.

When was the last time you had any ? Several months ago.




Today in History:

1492 - Christopher Columbus and ship Santa Maria land in Dominican Republic It's odd to me that so many people think he is undeserving of his place in history.
1955 - The microwave oven was introduced in Mansfield, Ohio at the corporate headquarters of the Tappan Company. The manufacturer put a $1,200 price tag the new stove that could cook eggs in 22 seconds, bacon in 90 seconds. And it only cooked on "high", didn't rotate so things cooked unevenly, and didn't start to "catch on" until the 1970's when manufacturers had learned how to correct the flaws in it.
1964 - Viking Jim Marshall runs 66 yards in wrong direction for a safety
1988 - ABC News reports on potbellied pygmy porkers' popularity as pets - lol try saying that 5 times fast I once knew someone who had a pig for a pet.


Word of the Day:
juju \ JOO-joo \ , noun;
1. An object superstitiously believed to embody magical powers.
2. The power associated with a juju.



Today is:
