WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE WITH YOUR LATTE
I could go with the obvious joke here, but I'll just report the story... Donald Crabtree wants to open a topless coffee shop in Vassalboro, VT. As you can imagine that's created quite a stir so the city council will review the request for the erotic java place. I'm betting you won't be able to get a double mocha there anytime soon..
Mexicans celebrated the 3 Wise Men visiting the baby JKesus yesterday with a family celebration that included the devouring of a huge loaf of bread. 11 tons worth! 2000,000 shared in the bread made by 2300 bakers. What's it take to make a loaf that large? In all, the sweet bread used seven tons of flour, 3.3 tons of butter and 396 gallons of milk.
I HIGHLY recommend these SONY headphones. Great quality and affordable!!

IS THAT A HELMET ON YOUR HEAD
In Nigeria they just passed a law requiring helmets for motorcyclists. There have been the inevitable protests, with some taking to wearing pumpkin shells on their heads. Some to protest, others because it's all they can afford. Police say they'll ticket any pumpkinheads.
I'M GOING TO SCHOOL
A 6 year old RIchmond, VA. boy missed his school bus, but was determined to make it to school, so he did what any kid would do. Took the family car and started driving his way for an education. He ran into an embankment and telephone car but wasn't deterred. "He was very intent on getting to school," said Sheriff Chuck Wilkins. "When he got out of the car, he started walking to school. He did not want to miss breakfast and PE." The boy took the keys to the car while Mom was asleep. His parents have been charged with child endangerment.

USELESS TRIVIA
As is their custom, the natives of the Turkish village of Kuskoy communicate through whistling. This unique language allows the Kuskovians to communicate over distances of up to one mile.
By the end of the Civil War, between one-third and one-half of all U.S. paper currency in circulation was counterfeit. This served as the catalyst behind the creation of the U.S. Secret Service. On July 5, 1865, the Secret Service was created under the U.S. Treasury Department. In less than a decade, counterfeiting was sharply reduced.
At the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, pumps push more than 2,000 gallons of sea water a minute through jets placed to generate natural currents in the aquarium's kelp forest exhibit.
The average house is five times less likely to burn down than become infested with termites.

COUNTDOWN TO OBAMA
As we head toward a new President we can't help but look back and enjoy many of Geroge Bushs' mis-speaks from his presidency. I'll feature some of these each day through the next days. enjoy.
___
• "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." — September 2000, explaining his energy policies at an event in Michigan.
• "Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" — January 2000, during a campaign event in South Carolina.
• "They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the commander in chief, too." — Sept. 26, 2001, in Langley, Va. Bush was referring to the terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.
• "There's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail." — Oct. 4, 2001, in Washington. Bush was remarking on a back-to-work plan after the terrorist attacks.
• "It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that chamber." — April 10, 2002, at the White House, as Bush urged Senate passage of a broad ban on cloning.
• "I want to thank the dozens of welfare-to-work stories, the actual examples of people who made the firm and solemn commitment to work hard to embetter themselves." — April 18, 2002, at the White House.
