But more importantly, June 16, 1980: The movie "The Blues Brothers" opened in Chicago, IL.

Dude, Where's My Car?


An unobservant woman in Germany walked 60 miles home in a huff thinking that her husband had left her at a service station. The angry exhausted woman appeared at her doorstep 15 hours after stomping out of the service station, only to find out that she had simply not seen the car in the lot. (Caring hubby had called the police, concerned when wifey didn't come back to the car, in case anyone is wondering)

Always aware of developments on the potty front, Glenn McMillen provides the following important news byte:

Equality!


The Glastonbury Festival opens in England on June 25th, and this year along with extraordinary bands, theatre, and art, there will be a new installation: SHE PEE Urinals!

No longer will bladder challenged women have to stand cross legged in line for the unisex urinals, trying to conquer any aiming issues they may have. Now they have their very own pink Female-styled urinals equipped with anatomically shaped funnels to assist in the stand-up marksmanship they need.

A spokesman for the festival states that this is "equality for women, basically."
The pink She Pees were unveiled for the Glastonbury Festival in a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, but this is not the first time they've ever been used.
The same anonymous spokesman reports: "They are well-tested."

Well, that's a relief.

101-Year-Old Man Parachutes Into Record Books

Not to be outdone by George Bush, Frank Moody, a 101 year old man from Australia, accepted a drunken dare from friends and successfully completed a tandem jump from an airplane at Skydive Cairns today. Estimated drop: @10,000 ft, give or take a hundred.
Video and such will be provided to Guinnss Book of World Records, with the expectation that Frank is now the oldest parachutist in history (previously held by a 94 year old whippersnapper).

Cool.
