In The News:
- First day of Fall. The Autumnal Equinox in September ushers in a change of season. It is observed annually when the sun can be seen directly overhead along the equator. The day marks the end of summer and beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere.
- In a survey, people say the most irritating invention of all time is not the cell phone, the doorbell, or the alarm clock… They say it’s bagpipes.
- National Voter Registration Day on the Fourth Tuesday in September urges citizens to register to vote. Make your vote count!
- “Passion of the Christ” Sequel Is Still Coming. Jim Caviezel, the star of The Passion Of The Christ, has confirmed that a sequel to the faith-based mega-hit is in the works! Caviezel told Breitbart in a new interview, that he recently received the third draft of the script from Mel Gibson. The follow up is called The Passion Of The Christ: Resurrection. Caviezel also said, It’s going to be the biggest film in world history. The first movie was done on a $30 million budget, which pulled in more than $600 million.
- Fun Fact: The average American kitchen has at least six promotional coffee mugs. #funfact
- First day of Fall. Despite the official end of summer, National Ice Cream Cone Day continues celebrating on September 22nd! While some controversy exists as to who invented the ice cream cone, the earliest mention shows up in French cookbooks around 1825. Originally referred to as “little waffles,” the cones were waffles rolled into the shape of a cone.
- Wearing high heels for men. Ladies, if you’re putting on the pumps for men, don’t waste your time. Experts (at Northumbria University) studied men and their reactions to women walking with and without high heel shoes. The study revealed that men cannot tell if a woman who is walking is wearing heels or not. The study assessed several women between the ages of 18 and 35 and took a look at the signals they sent out while walking in heels and also without heels. The researchers were trying to figure out if men are impacted by the illusion of longer legs, tilting torso and more prominent rear. Looks like not so much. High heels don’t seem to bring on the love signals after all.
- How long does it take you to fully wake up each day? A study of 2,000 adults found that while 7:14am is the average time to get out of bed, it’s not until 8:44am that they’re ready to seize the day. That’s an hour and a half. As a result, three in 10 turn to coffee, while a fifth wash their face with cold water and one in 10 go for a walk in an attempt to feel more awake. Brushing their teeth, watching TV and scrolling through social media are other popular ways people attempt to wake up.
- Half of Cats TOO fat. America has a fat cat epidemic. A new study (Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine) finds more than 50 percent of the nation’s kitties are overweight or obese. The extra weight may mean extra fluff and cuteness, but it also means additional health problems.
- Overthinkers. Two thirds (68 per cent) have admitted to being ‘overthinkers’ – and worry about what clothes to wear and why someone hasn’t replied to a text message. The study of 2,000 adults found nearly four in 10 get wrapped up in trying to get out of unwanted plans, which topped the poll of things we overthink the most. And almost a third (31 per cent) panic that some ‘office banter’ may have been construed in the wrong way. People also overthink their financial choices (32 per cent), how to ask someone to repay money they borrowed (31 per cent) and how much to spend on a gift (26 per cent).
- Misspelled Street Sign. A popular North Carolina city said it is replacing a recently erected street sign after residents of Autumn Oaks Lane complained that the sign incorrectly identified their street as "Autum Oaks Drive." A Raleigh resident contacted a local tv station to complain that the sign, which recently was replaced after being struck by a vehicle, featured the misspelled word "Autum" and incorrectly identified the "lane" as a "drive." The city of Raleigh said the local transportation department has made a new sign and is delivering it to the local homeowner's association for installation.
