Red Auerbach 1917 - 2006

Arnold "Red" Auerbach died suddenly on Saturday Oct 28, 2006 near his home in Washington. He was 89.
He was known for his hot tempered coaching style, and his ability to acquire players who would ultimately be superstars -- like Bill Russell and Larry Bird.
"Red Auerbach was the consummate teacher, leader, and a true pioneer of the sport of basketball," NBA Commissioner David Stern said in a statement on www.nba.com.
"The NBA wouldn't be what it is today without him."
He led the Celtics to 10 Eastern Division titles in 16 years, and his string of NBA titles from 1959-1966 remains unmatched in U.S. professional sports.
You have to do something special or they don’t craft a bobble-head after you!!

Joke from JR Greeks and Italians

A Greek and an Italian were sitting down one day debating who had the superior culture.

The Greek says, "We have the Parthenon."

The Italian says, "We have the Coliseum."

The Greek says, "We had great mathematicians."

The Italian says, "We had the Roman Empire."

And so on and so on for hours, until finally the Greek lights up and says... "We invented sex."

The Italian nods slowly and thinks, then replies, "That is true -- but it was Italians who introduced it to women."

North Korea Celebrates

STORY: North Korea celebrated the 80th anniversary of the formation of the Down-with-Imperialism Union (DIU) by President Kim Il Sung with China, in a lavish parade on Tuesday (October 17) night. Thousands of Koreans in traditional cloth danced and sang in the Indoor Stadium in Pyongyang, holding flares and torches and formed human signs that could be read from above.

The parade ended with a brilliant spectacle of fireworks which lit up
the sky.Reuters News , photos from China Daily

My observations: They had quite a turnout, everyone dressed the same, Sanctions don't dampen their party spirit and they really like to light it up, I wonder if the signs that you can see from above say anything about where the WMD's might be more likely they're just giving the satellites that look down on them the finger.

Final impression...scary bastards
