Something else that I just found out:
Rapper Vanilla Ice, rather than settling out of court when Queen and David Bowie sued him in 1990, ended up just buying the rights to "Under Pressure."
He explains that "he went to Brian May and bought the song," because owning the publishing rights worked out to being way cheaper than battling both Queen and Bowie in court.
Despite Ice's ownership of the iconic track, the court case did eventually result in Queen and Bowie getting official songwriting credits on "Ice Ice Baby."“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

An ice rescue instructor captured footage of himself and his wife ice skating on a frozen, translucent lake in Alaska recently. Luc Mehl said the rare once-in-a-decade "ice window" formed because of "an unusually cold but dry transition into winter." He added the phenomenon allowed Rabbit Lake to freeze so that the ice was thick enough for skating.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
Here's a mind-bending riddle that you can enjoy as part of your Christmas. It's like none that I'd ever seen before:
I figured out that the 13th man was created from parts taken from the other 12, but I didnt see exactly how. This next video explains it a little better:
But it still is tricky how this was done. The new, 13th man has a white shirt, black pants and black shoes. But there already were 4 men that were dressed like this. So which composite man is the new one? It doesnt seem to matter but to create the new man, you'd have to take parts only from one of the other appropriately dressed men. You'd have to create the picture in a way so that this would happen when you moved the cut parts of the image.
This struck me as a very clever riddle. The 2nd video said it was based on the "Leprechaun Puzzle of 1960", which I also havent seen.

In the last week I have found a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones, a new I-Phone and my daughter found a pair of Airpods. Call me if you lost them.---------------------------------------------
