"Think of your family today and every day thereafter, don’t let the busy world of today keep you from showing how much you love and appreciate your family."
Josiah
Joke
One fifth of people are just too tense!
Fun Fact
A company in Taiwan makes dinnerware out of wheat, so you can eat your plate!
Not only do they make plates out of wheat, but spoons, bowls, and chopsticks as well.
The dishes can be kept for months as long as they stay dry!
Reading Fact
The first printed books did not have the name of the author or even the title of the book on their covers.
History Fact
The Iron Maiden Wasn't a Thing
No, this supposed torture device never actually existed. The widespread medieval use is a classic 18th-century myth, supported because of the perceptions that the Middle Ages were a widely uncivilized era of violence and mayhem. (They were bad, but not that bad.)
Movie/TV Trivia
Like Facebook, Star Wars was originally prefixed by the definite article ‘The’. Much cleaner without it.
Movie/TV Quote
"Dear 8-pound, 6-ounce newborn infant Jesus..."
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
To this day, we as a culture are still dipping into the quotable comedy behemoth that is Adam McKay and Will Ferrell's Talladega Nights, but the single scene that's mined the most is Ferrell's Ricky Bobby delivering a rambling family prayer over a dinner of Dominos, KFC, and "the always delicious" Taco Bell. After giving thanks for his wife's 94/100 ass, his two sons, Walker and Texas Ranger, his best friend Cal (John C. Reilly) -- fistbump "shake and bake" -- and his wife's father with an open leg wound that smells bad, the dinner table conversation turns to how people envision Jesus when they pray to him. Ricky Bobby prefers the Christmas Jesus, and thus: "Dear 8-pound, 6-ounce newborn infant Jesus, don't even know a word yet... just a lil infant... so cuddly, but still omnipotent. We just thank for you all the races I've won and the $21.2 million -- Woo! Love that money! -- that I have accrued over this season. Also, due to a binding endorsement contract that stipulates I mention Powerade at each grace, I just want to say that Powerade is delicious and it cools you off on a hot summer day and we look forward to Powerade's release of Mystic Mountain Blueberry. Thank you for all your power and grace, dear baby God. Amen."
