Fact Of The Day

After washing your hair with shampoo, rub your hair with a towel and then apply conditioner. Let the conditioner settle for at least two minutes, and then rinse.
My hair tends to get a bit fuzzy without conditioner. It falls straight and is shiny when I do it the two-minutes way

Sssooo... For dopers, it's 4-20 day... Which coincides with Hitler's birthday...

I just finished a biography of Edward VII, in which the author speculates that Winston Churchill's mother Jennie slept with two hundred men, including possibly Oscar Wilde (all right, Oscar!) and almost certainly the Prince of Wales. To get even weirder, her second husband, who was twenty years her junior and the same age as her son Winston, was most likely actually fathered by the Prince of Wales in an affair with another woman at the same time he was  involved with Jennie. This wedding disturbed the Prince so badly that he cut all ties with the former Lady Churchill.

Churchill's mom was a skank.  A society skank, no doubt, but a skank nonetheless.

I understand Churchill's Mon invented the whiskey & vermouth, & the Brits called it the Manhattan 'cause she's from there...

And how many women did the rich men of the day sleep with?  Nice double standard there.

Besides, she was American.

[indianasmith]

Not at all.  I hold men who cannot keep their marriage vows in equal contempt.

Typically there are more tornadoes in the United States in May than any other month, but the tornadoes of April kill the most people.

Well, qs far as skanks and cheating, it seems that one Camilla Parker Bowles was the third wheel in the marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles.  How many members of royalty slept with women too? Nice double standard there too.

How any man could have dared turn his back on such a lovely lady is beyond me, so Prince Charles gets a skank award too.

Also, they're both British (while we're naming nationalities here.) 
So as we can see, skanks exist on both sides of the Big Pond.

But British skanks are "proper" skanks, you see.

There was a recent article in a newspaper, probably "The New York Times," as to how many of our young sons have ready access to pornography. The number was well into the six figures. Well over 100,000 viewers.

Then the article went on and said, despite all the time and money studying the subject of pornography, there is still no definitive conclusion as to whether pornography is harmless or not, but even those who think that it is harmless for the most part, don't want their young sons looking at it, because of the way it objectifies women.

What the article did not state, that while we may think we are doing a good job of protecting our children from pornography, we are actually not. Not when we ignore over half our children. For there was not one word in the article about our daughters not looking at it. And like the new book on how to prevent our children from being involved in an abusive relationship, while they are in school, the article failed to even mention gay youths and young lesbians. Even though there are types of poronography that are specialized for gays and lesbians.

Rick James was known for dissing Prince in interviews in the early 1980s. Whatever Prince did James claimed he could do better. When Prince had huge success with the Purple Rain movie and soundtrack in 1984, James' response was that his movie coming out in 1985 will be so much better. Rick James intended to produce, direct, star and write all the music for his movie debut.
However, declining record sales in 1984 and 1985 forced Rick James to abandon his film project.

The working title of Shaun of the Dead was Tea-Time of the Dead.

Why does nearly everything good begin in an year ending in zero?

1910 Felix the Cat
1930 Betty Boop
1940 Bugs Bunny
1940 Tom and Jerry
1940 Woody Woodpecker
1950 Gerald McBoing-Boing

Off by 3 years. Popeye. 1933
Off by 2 years. Huckleberry Hound. 1958
And off by an year. Mr. Magoo and Rocky and Bullwinkle. 1949 and 1959 respectively.

And where are they now? For the most part gone and forgotten. Though, you can see Bugs Bunny and friends at Six Flgas.

As for Snow White, a teenager in 1937, a few more grey hairs, a few more wrinkles, but she is still going strong 77 years later.
