I've been saving a few links thinking that I might post something about them. Well here they are in one post - they are all safe and a safe subject to talk about....

Don Majkowski Demands to be Reinstated as Packers Quarterbackvia SportsPickle.com

"Former Green Bay Packers starting quarterback Don Majkowski has entered in a bitter dispute with his former organization, admitting he is "guilty of retiring too early" 12 years ago, while demanding he be reinstated as the team's starter or given the opportunity to play elsewhere."

The iPod name history (it does not stand for international pod and it's not funny unless you call an ipod an international pod just for fun):

"The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open the pod bay door, Hal!", which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship.[5] Apple researched the trademark and found that it was already in use. Joseph N. Grasso of New Jersey had originally listed an "iPod" trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in July 2000 for Internet kiosks. The first iPod kiosks had been demonstrated to the public in New Jersey in March 1998, and commercial use began in January 2000, but had apparently been discontinued by 2001. The trademark was registered by the USPTO in November 2003, and Grasso assigned it to Apple Computer, Inc. in 2005.[7]

Finally - the reason for the internet - my hero Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis - My favorite part is when they almost hit a parked car, then run a stop sign.
