True Romance: Elderly Couple Dies Holding Hands
True Romance: Elderly Couple Dies Holding Hands:
There are plenty of stories of loving, elderly couples dying within a few years or even months of one another, but an hour apart is pretty impressive. That’s what happened when Norma and Gordon Yeager recently passed away. The couple, who had been married for 72 years, were rushed to a hospital after they had been involved in a car accident.
Hospital workers put Norma and Gordon in an ICU room together, where the couple continued to hold hands even after losing consciousness. In fact, Gordon’s heart monitor continued beating after he stopped breathing—it was sensing Norma’s heartbeat through his hand. Exactly one hour later, Norma slipped away as well.
While the couple’s kids are obviously disappointed their parents have died, they were touched to see them pass away in such a manner. “Neither one of them would’ve wanted to be without each other. I couldn’t figure out how it was going to work,” said their daughter, Donna Sheets. “We were very blessed, honestly, that they went this way.”

The Beatles Pick a Twitter Handle
The Beatles Pick a Twitter Handle:
George Martin: Alright, mates, first of all let me just say how happy I am that we not only managed to convince the four of you to reunite but were also able to bring both John and George back from the dead.
Ringo: It sure was a crazy weekend!
George Martin: Yes, yes it was. Anyway, we’re really excited to get you guys touring again, but as Paul and Ringo…well, as Paul can tell you, anyway, the music business has changed a lot since the 60s.
George Harrison: How so?
George Martin: Well, for one thing, you need a Twitter account now. Luckily, I explained all the boring, technical details concerning what Twitter is and how the internet works yesterday, so there’s no need to get into any of that now. We can skip right ahead to picking your guys’ handle.
Paul: Easy: The Beatles.
George Martin: Perfect. Only it’s already taken.
Paul: Someone took The Beatles? Who the fuck chose “The Beatles” as their Twitter handle?
George Harrison: I’ll bet it was Clapton.
John: Who cares who took it? I say it’s a good thing. We can be more creative now! How about “@?”
Paul: @? As in, “at?” Pray tell, John, why should our Twitter handle be “@?”
John: Think about it: if you’re trying to get in touch with someone on Twitter, you have to type in “@” before their name. So by making our Twitter handle “@,” we’ll be engaging in a form of social criticism about the way we live and communicate in the modern age.
Paul: Oh, wow, John. Of course. That’s totally brilliant.
John: Thank you!
Paul: And, hey, maybe we can even play it on a loop for eight minutes over some vague, inchoate background noises and release it as our first new single! Because that was so well received last time!
John: Oh, fuck off, Paul. Why don’t you go lose our songs’ rights to Michael Jackson again?
Paul: Maybe I will, John. And while I’m doing that, you and Yoko can go cover yourselves in bags! That really helped bring about world peace, didn’t it?
George Harrison: What about The_Real_Shaq?
George Martin: Sorry, that one’s taken, too.
George Harrison: Damn.
Ringo: Hey, how about—
Everyone: No.
Ringo: Yeah, it was a stupid idea.
George Martin: Look, maybe this was the wrong issue to start off the reunion with. There are plenty of other things we need to work on, too. For instance, who do you want to open for you at your first live show in 40 years?
Paul: Michael Bublé.
John: Definitely.

None of The Beatles Could Read Music
None of The Beatles Could Read Music: None of The Beatles Could Read Music
The Beatles are talked about as one of the best bands of all times but surprisingly none of The Beatles could even read music! Although they could play the guitar, and wrote their own lyrics, they never learned how to read music.
They did know the chords and knew where middle C was on a piano. In a 1980 interview with Playboy, John Lennon said: “I think Paul and Ringo stand up with any of the rock musicians. Not technically great — none of us are technical musicians. None of us could read music. None of us can write it. But as pure musicians, as inspired humans to make the noise, they are as good as anybody”
Paul is the only one of The Beatles who attempted to learn how to read music. He tried to take piano lessons from his girlfriend’s mother but did not have the time or the patience. None of the others even tried.

5 Every Day Things Made More Macho:
Is your toothpaste making you feel like a nancy? Your homeowner's insurance not virile enough? Does your internet service provider put the ISP in lisp? With the new Dr. Pepper being made for men only , I thought I'd try the same approach with other normally gender-neutral products.

Money Dispute May Mean The End Of The Simpsons
Money Dispute May Mean The End Of The Simpsons:
Say it isn’t so!
Cartoon favorite, The Simpsons may finish at the end of the next series.
The future of the long-running animated sitcom is reportedly in jeopardy because of a dispute of salary negotiations between the six main voice actors – Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer - and studio 20th Century Fox Television, who have told the cast they must take a 45 percent pay cut.
The cast – who currently earn around $8 million each for 22 weeks work - had offered to take a 30 per cent cut in exchange for a small percentage of profits taken from global syndication and show-related merchandise.

A source told The Daily Beast: “Fox is taking the position that unless they can cut the production costs really drastically, they’ll pull the plug on new shows.
“The show has made billions in profits over the years and will continue to do so as far as the eye can see down the road. The actors are willing to take a pay cut of roughly a third, but that’s not good enough for Fox.”
A spokesperson for Fox Television admitted the show – which was created by Matt Groening and James L. Brooks – cannot continue “under its current financial model” but insisted they have not yet called a halt to negotiations.
The representative said: "23 seasons in, The Simpsons is as creatively vibrant as ever and beloved by millions around the world. We believe this brilliant series can and should continue, but we cannot produce future seasons under its current financial model.
“We are hopeful that we can reach an agreement with the voice cast that allows The Simpsons to go on entertaining audiences with original episodes for many years to come."
The show first aired in December 1989 and had a spin-off movie in 2007.

3091474: Today, I decided to play the iPod game. I shuffled it and I asked it how would I die, and it gave me "Kim". I tried it again and asked it where I would die and it came up "Aberdeen". I tried it one last time and asked when would I die. It came up "Tomorrow". I live in Aberdeen with my roommate Kimberly. I am currently under my bed, shaking. MLIA.
