Florida news: The Time Traveler
"A driver accidentally [?] plowed through two small businesses in Pensacola in December, creating such destruction that the manager of one said it looked like a bomb had hit (forcing both--a tax service and a casket company--to relocate). The driver told police he was attempting to “travel through time.” - via WEAR-TV (Pensacola), 12-23-2015

Woody Guthrie's New Year Resolutions
By Jack Brummet, Music Ed.
Woody Guthrie wrote and illustrated these rulins' a/k/a resolutions in either 1941, 1942, or 1943, depending on who is writing or talking. The "official" Woody Guthrie website says they appear in one of his journals dated January 1, 1943 (at the very centerfold of the notebook).
Whenever he wrote them, he was 30-32 years old and this list is, like most of his work, a fascinating amalgam of innocent, funny, and wise.
If you're a psychology student, it's kind of fascinating how these map onto Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs (although many fall into the cracks between the levels).

Eve, as it turns out, was not made from Adam's rib
By Mona Goldwater, Women's Ed.
A Biblical scholar says that, due to a mistranslation, the original scripture actually says that Eve was made from Adam's penis and not his rib.
The professor also states that man is the only mammal without a penis bone...now we know where it went).

Photos: Old friends, Bill and Donald Trump; Donald Trump with Hillary Rodham Clinton
It looks like Donald Trump just may target Hillary/Bill for WJC's highly suspect in my booklet, race-baiting comments in the 2008 primaries. After Obama's win, Clinton mentioned that Jesse Jackson won South Carolina's primary in 1984 and 1988 - victories that went nowhere. The remarks angered many black voters and officials in #SC who viewed it as an attempt to weaken Obama, who was, by then, Hillary Clinton's only real rival. -
