In The News:


While many people see Memorial Day as some sort of military-related day that gives them a 3-day weekend — and special deals on cars and mattresses — there is a specific reason for the day.

• Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces.

• The first official observance of Memorial Day was on May 30 in 1868.

• Ordered by General John Logan, flowers were placed on the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

• From the Revolutionary War through the first Gulf War, some 651,000 U.S. service personnel died in combat, a total that includes around 75,000 Confederates. Nearly half of all these deaths occurred in World War II — over 290,000.

- People Are Attempting The 'Cannonball Run' Thanks To Empty Highways. The lack of traffic on America's roadways has inspired some daring drivers to bring back the fabled 'Cannonball Run' challenge. The challenge, made famous in the 1981 Burt Reynolds movie, involves driving cross-country from Manhattan to Redondo Beach, California. Of course, the race is unsanctioned and very illegal. That hasn't stopped people from trying - in fact the previous record of 28 hours, 50 minutes has been broken seven times in the last five weeks. The new record clocks in under 26 hours, meaning an average speed of about 107 miles per hour - again, highly illegal.

- Airplanes are full of germs. Researchers discovered something I thought we already know. Of course, We already know that planes are airborne petri dishes, and that one open-mouthed sneeze can spread who-knows-what through a cabin faster than you can say “God Bless You.” But a study reminds us that it’s not so much what we inhale on planes that causes the really big problems, but what we touch. Yes, airplanes are full of germs… everywhere.

- Masktaken Identity: When you think you recognize someone, only to realize you are mistaken because half their face is obscured by a mask.

- Who does the grilling? While men still dominate backyard cooking, 30 percent of grilling duties are shared by both husband and wife. Still men wield the tongs 48 percent of the time. It’s the time of the year when fathers are the first fire up the grill, and mothers first apply first aid.

- Man attempts to make a bed. When couples retire, they have to adjust to their new normal. One wife in Washington state decided to give her husband chores so he could "pull his weight around the house." One of his chores was to make the bed, something he had not done in 45 years. The husband seemed to have issues with the "throw pillows." Each day the pillows were placed in a different and unique way. One day he even added a flamingo to the bed decor. His daughter started posting the daily photos on Facebook and the man and his unique bed making skills went viral. His wife says she does not touch the bed until it is time to go to bed and each time she walks by it she laughs.
