In keeping with grand tradition, here's a heartfelt belated happy birthday to Frans, as it was his birthday yesterday. Huzza to him, and a hearty thank you for all his help on the site over the years, much of which goes unnoted. The 8th is actually the birthday of the worlds two coolest people, because in addition to Frans, nin points out yesterday was also Bowie's birthday, though it's hard to believe the thin white duke is actually 65 years old.

That Broncos game last night was completely shocking, huh? The last thing I expected to see was Tebow throwing the ball all over the field. Looks like that was the last thing the Steelers expected too.
