Happy Birthday 5/4


Today is Baseball League Day!
There are 232 Shopping Days Left Until Xmas.
There are 47 days until summer begins.

ESPN's Erin Andrews - 33
Kimora Lee Simmons - 36
Mike Dirnt of Green Day - 39
Will Arnett - 41
Lynne Spears - 56 (The woman who spawned Britney Spears)

1626 - Peter Minuit, a Dutch colonist, landed on the island of MANHATTAN. He eventually bought the island from the Indians for beads and trinkets that were worth about $24.
(That translates to about $1,000 in modern U.S. dollars. Which is still nothing, especially considering that a studio apartment on that island rents for at least twice that per month.)

1959 - The FIRST ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS were held. There were two simultaneous, untelevised ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York . . . because they didn't think recording artists would want to travel just to get an award.

1968 - One small step for man, one giant, out-of-breath waddle for chubbykind: The BIG MAC debuted at McDonald's.

ZOMBIES!!!


People who've played "Call of Duty: Black Ops" know it includes a zombie mode where four players fight an army of the undead. You play as John F. Kennedy, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon and JFK's Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara. That's pretty cool in and of itself. But you're really going to love what they're putting into the latest downloadable map pack. This time, the four people fighting the zombies are "Machete" star Danny Trejo, "Nightmare on Elm Street" legend Robert Englund (a.k.a. Freddy Krueger), "Buffy the Vampire Slayer's" Sarah Michelle Gellar, and one of the guys from AMC's zombie show "The Walking Dead". The actor's name is Michael Rooker, but you'd know him as Merle, the racist redneck they handcuffed to the roof. He's pretty bad-ass on the show too. By the time they went back to rescue him, he'd cut off his own hand and cauterized the stump. But wanna know the best part? The whole thing is inspired by "Night of the Living Dead" genius George A. Romero and George Romero himself has been added to the list of enemies as sort of the zombie king.
