What to blog, what to blog . . .

Well to start today is a good day for celebrity history; firstly today in 1936 Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan the Barbarian (I used to love reading the Conan magazines, especially the Savage Sword of Conan, I wonder if they still print them? Haven't read any of the novels though), commits suicide with a gunshot to the head, in 1962 Frank Morris and brothers John & Clarence Anglin escape from Alcatraz Prison (if you haven't seen it he the Clint Eastwood movie Escape from Alcatraz about this break-out is well worth watching), in 1979 the one the only John Wayne (the archetype for nearly every movie hard ass ever since, and honestly who isn't a a fan of the Duke? I still like watching John Wayne movies, even if TBS doesn't re-run the shit out of them anymore) died of lung cancer and in 1999 DeForest Kelly ("Bones" on Star Trek the Original Series or OST as it's known) died of a "lingering illness".

In other sad news, Edwin Traisman, the food scientist responsible for such great break throughs as the ubiquitous McDonald's french fry and Kraft's Cheez Whiz (here's Kraft's own Cheez Whiz site) died of a heart attack (what else? after all the man did create Cheez Whiz & Mickey D's fries . . . hmmmm now I'm thinking about putting melted Cheez Whiz on McDonalds' fries....mmmmm heart-attack-a-licsious) last week at the age of 91. You can read more about it in this article here if you like.

And finally I will leave you with the Weird Convertor, which is just as it sounds; it converts from one unusual or different unit to another, both lengths and weights, so if you were ever wondering how many pounds the average bowel movement is (0.4409 pounds) or how many Jennifer Annistons you'd need to make up one Right Whale testicle (10.02101181818 Jen Annistons BTW) this is the website for you. Which leaves me with the question, why were you wondering this stuff in the first place.

Man you people are weird.

Until next time.
