I loved Captain Kangaroo! My sisters and I looked forward to watching him every morning.

1787 - Edward Gibbon completed The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
1992 - Michael Jackson kicked off the Dangerous Tour in Munich, Germany. Coincidence? Pigs toast beginnings and endings.

1958 - After nearly three years on NBC-TV, Matinee Theatre was seen for the final time. And a good thing, too. Critics called the show one of the most successful failures in theatrical history. Wasn't a good thing for me. Apparently too young to pay attention to critics, I loved Matinee Theatre. It came on at 3, right after I'd get home from school. One Christmas it did an hour-long Little Women . Granted some parts were left out, but I acknowledged the necessity of time constraints.

Adding to the Howdy Doody line: Everyone, at all times, must keep in mind the facial features shared by Howard Doody, Alfred E. Newman, Howard Kossell and George W. Bush. Doing so puts so many things about life in perspective.

I was just poking around in details, seeing who was here and doing what, and have a question. What's a search spider?

Martha, look in yesterday's Roundtable for my answer about search spiders: A search spider is an automatic program that search engines use to scan everything, well nearly everything, on the internet. They then index what they find and hence, when you search for a term, the index has the information where to find the phrase.

But recently a team of scientists announced they had made artificial sperm from human bone marrow, and media reports abounded with the dire news that my goodfellas (and by extension, me) had been rendered unnecessary.
If a woman chose to do so, speculated tabloid journalists, she could make sperm from her own bone marrow, fertilize another woman’s egg — and voila!

1787 - Edward Gibbon completed The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
1964 - Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman were married. COINCIDENCE? I think NOT “I do not believe in God, because I believe in man. Whatever his mistakes, man has for thousands of years been working to undo the botched job your god has made. There are . . . some potentates I would kill by any and all means at my disposal. They are Ignorance, Superstition, and Bigotry--the most sinister and tyrannical rulers on earth.”
-- Emma Goldman 1898 From the Church of Ineffable Stupidity: a) IraqNam only 21 bodies found scattered on the streets of Baghdad. But that ignores the dead from assassinations, bomb blasts, mortars and US attacks. b) Hersey bites 3000 more jobs moved to Mexico. c) coultergeist Miss Annie suggests that terra-ists kill John Edwards. d) NFL The lowest salaries start a $389,000 That represents 9 years of wages for a family of 4. the average career in the NFL is 3 yrs, w/increases in pay each year. It takes a family of four, sometimes with two wage earners 30+ years to earn And now they are complaining that they don't have a pension program or adequate medical care in their retirement years. Tough titties, boys. You got a FREE COLLEGE education, you earned more than a million bucks, plus travel, costs, food, and hotels, you squandered it, you can go find a real job in the real world like the rest of us. e) Chinese Take Out yup, they took out 180 large factories, because they used illegal materials, poisons, and dated, rotting ingredients. And that stuff was for foreign export! imagine what they made for local use.
