How Bionic Are You?

NBC has launched a site to determine how bionic you are. I only got 40% and, therefore, failed miserably. Oh, well.

How did you do?

HSM 2

High School Musical 2 premiered Friday night. How many of you watched it? What did you think?

More Goofy Fun

This just makes me giggle.

Enjoy!

30th Anniversary

Today is the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, or not. The King of Rock 'n' Roll died in 1977 at Graceland, his home in Memphis. Fans are gathered in over 100-degree heat to mourn the singer.

Elvis is an icon, and so is Graceland. His mansion is now a National Historic Site.

Don't Try This At Home

I mentioned in a previous post that you could find some weird stuff online. Well, here's another site that is both weird and wonderful. I love this site. I love the music, the artsy camera angle (inside the microwave!). And I love what they decided to try. I think my favorite is the marshmallows - take that Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man!

Enjoy! But please don't try this at home.

Duran Duran

Today, amazingly enough, is National Duran Duran Appreciation Day. For more information on one of the top groups of the 1980s, check out their entry in Wikipedia or visit the official fan site. You can listen to their music and see the video for "Hungry Like the Wolf."

Enjoy!

Hiroshima & Nagasaki

Today is the 62nd anniversary of the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. On August 9, 1945, another bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

Both cities have been involved in peace movements since their bombings.

You can see old newsreel footage of the bombing of Hiroshima. The Library of Congress has a letter from FDR to Robert Oppenheimer thanking him for his secret atomic research that led to the creation of the atomic bomb.

Tonight, HBO will air the documentary White Light, Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at 6:30 p.m.
