I am a huge fan of the Beatles and Paul McCartney with his current band 'Wings'.
Is he dead? I don't think so, but a lot of people do and with all these conspiracy theories I don't blame them.
In October of 1969, three weeks after the Beatles' celebrated Abbey Road album was released, WKNR-FM's Russ Gibb took a call from a man who identified himself only as "Tom." The Detroit deejay listened as the caller carefully laid out clues hidden in Beatles' songs and album art, which he said indicated Paul McCartney had died on November 9, 1966, in an automobile accident. Listeners began deluging New York City radio stations with "evidence" and soon the rumor spread around the world. Was this a Beatles' publicity stunt, a fan feeding-frenzy fueled by clues left as an inside joke by John Lennon—or was Paul really dead?
In order for McCartney's death to be kept under wraps, the Beatles would need a look-alike to sub for him. It's said they found the perfect candidate in an actor named William Shears Campbell, the winner of a McCartney look-alike contest who resembled the singer so much that he was supposedly on the Beatles' payroll as a stand-in to throw off fans and the press. The name may ring a bell from the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" lyric on the album of the same name: "So let me introduce to you / The one and only Billy Shears / And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
Your dose of the randomly interesting.

For anyone who hasn't come across this yet. This is the Akinator Genie.
You think of an Actor, Sports Person, Character from a Novel, Movie or Game and it will most likely get it.
You do have to know about your character though. Any inaccurate answers may ruin it.
I spent ages on this, it's so much fun. If it guesses wrong that doesn't mean you've defeated it, only that it will try twice more to get your character and even then if you have defeated it a list comes up of characters that might be yours so.. give it a shot anyway.

Lincoln and Kennedy.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Now the mind blowage begins .
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
And! Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe,Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe

Feel like passing an hour or two?
These are some games that I have come across recently that are ridiculously hard to stop playing.
Some internet flash games are absolute cat, but every now and then you stumble upon some works of genius.
First off : http://www.flashgames247.com/play/14053.html
Chances are you've come across games like this before and you really couldn't be arsed. That was my first impression anyway but give it a try and trust me you won't want to stop until you've completely upgraded that plane. As well as it being fun in has awesome music and a clever little story.

If you are looking for a bit of fast paced action and have good finger clicking reflexes then this is your game.
Simply get your character to just at the right time. Sounds simple doesn't it? Its mega-fun trust me.

Only one word can describe this game. Intense. With it's fast movement and music that makes your mind race this is the kind of game one would play with a 6pack of Red Bull within arm's reach.

Inspritation
“Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?”
Back!
Jesus. You never know how lost you are without the internet until it is actually gone.
Our modem literally asploded! But 's all good now. Looking forward to making some posts.
