Sadly, my head is stuffed with far too much meaningless trivia making Jeopardy a family favorite.

Here’s a video clip of the first time anyone has ever gone all in on back-to-back Daily Doubles:

Back in the day, WMMS ruled the airwaves and THE DJ was Kid Leo.

Each Friday at 5.47 PM as The Kid would sign off he’d leave us with “the weekend special” – the same three songs played back-to-back-to-back. The weekend wasn’t the weekend without hearing those songs. They were:

Born to Run (The Boss)

Cleveland Rocks (Ian Hunter)

And, Friday on My Mind (Earthquake)

Today, I miss those days.

Ok – so we’re with our LifeGroup this past Friday night and someone asks what the name of that part fleshy part of your hand between your thumb and index finger is called (we’re very deep).  None of us knew.  I do now.  In my search I also discovered that there are many things out there that we deal with or see everyday, but have no idea what they are called. Below is a list of 25 ridiculous real names for 25 everyday items.

See the list.

I love political satire. I especially love JibJab. With the race for the White House underway I am anticipating rich material for forthcoming commentary. Here are a few of my favorite JibJab videos:

He’s Barack Obama

McCain/Obama (2008)

Bush/Kerry (2004)

The first 9 seconds are blurry – the song is hilarious. H/T Danny:
