Today is 28 March 2006. There are 279 days left in the year, so start making those New Years plans now!

Also, 76 years ago today, Constantinople became Istanbul. Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks!

Happy 51st Birthday to Reba McEntire of McAlester, Oklahoma.
Also born on this day: Italian Renaissance painter Raphael (1483-1520) and Carmelite nun / spiritualist / writer St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582). To the best of our knowledge, neither of these people ever visited Oklahoma.

Great saying: "If you don't like burritos, don't work in a burrito shop!" (Anonymous, overheard in a record shop some weeks ago).

Fact (or possible urban legend): thanks to a never-repealed World War I era law, it is illegal to say "geshundheit" to someone when they sneeze. However, if you work at a certain mega-retailer in the USA, you can be fired for saying "Bless you" to someone who sneezes. Maybe we should try "Dude, don't blow your boogs on me!"
