Unfortunately, we got rained out this past Saturday night at Old Dominion Speedway, so I was not able to experience the "ride-along". If you won tickets last week, I understand Old Dominion will honor those tickets on any night, and as far as the ride-along is concerned, we are going to try to re-schedule, although that might be easier said than done. We'll keep you posted.Thanks to all of you who came out to enjoy our King of Wings Festival on Saturday. The weather held out for most of it, and congratulations to the Undisputed King of Wings: Famous Dave's.
Wow! What a tough More's Mystery this morning!! If you missed the answer, it was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Tomorrow morning, we'll be looking for a famous person with an equally famous spouse.
Happy Birthday to Roseanne Cash. She is 55 today. Priscilla Presley is 65 today, and Tommy Chong is 72 today. Yes, 72!! How did that happen!?
Ironically, Tommy now qualifies to get free medical marijuana from the government.On More In The Morning, we have often talked about people wasting incredible amounts of time and money studying stupid things. This one might be one of the all-time classics. Dr. Julie Desjardins, a researcher and biologist at Stanford University has been studying fish. The doctor now tells us that after years and years of research, she has determined that fish fear their own reflection, and therefore, will NOT look at their own reflection. How much time and money was spent to find this out? And when you get right now to it, who really knows what's on the mind of a fish? Obviously they're not too bright or they wouldn't keep winding up on the dinner table. But the really big question here is: WHO CARES ABOUT ANY OF THIS??
But let's say she's right about this. So what? Where are you going with this revelation..........this newly-found information? What are you going to do with it? Personally, I never knew fish don't look at their own reflection, but then again, I never really sat around pondering it.
But now that I know this important bit of information, I have been thinking about it. Maybe, just maybe, the reason a fish doesn't want to look at it's own reflection is because he's self-conscious about his looks. I mean he might be self-conscious about the fact that he has big lips...........eyes that are popping out of his head.......and scaly skin. When he looks in the mirror, he probably says, "Oh my God, I look like Larry King!!!!!"
Finally, hats off to 12 year-old Jordan Romero of California, who is now officially the youngest person to climb Mount Everest. Now, I am not making this up, and if you doubt this, then I urge you to put in a search for "Jordan Romero" and read it for yourself: While climbing the highest peak in the world, Romero carried a pair of kangaroo testicles on him for good luck.
I might be wrong, but I would think that after removing the testicles from a kangaroo, climbing Mount Everest would seem easy.
