Michael Jackson to perform Thriller!!! Woo hoo.

A makeover and a trim led to assault charges against a teenager. Dallas R. Esparza, 16, of Cedar Rapids, is accused of shaving off the eyebrows of Shawn Weaver while he was unconscious, police said. Esparza also is accused of shaving off some of Weaver's hair and taking his tennis shoes, which were valued at less than $200. Alcohol may have been involved, police said. Duh!!! Ya think?

The United Church of Canada hopes an ad featuring a can of whipped cream and the question, "How much fun can sex be before it's a sin?" will fill its pews as Christmas nears. People of the church know about this?


Today in History:
694 - Egica, a king of the Visigoths of Hispania, accuses Jews of aiding Muslims, sentencing all Jews to slavery. I thought that was Hitlers idea.

1848 - Robert Blum, German revolutionary, executed in Vienna

1923 - In Munich, Germany, police and government troops crush the Beer Hall Putsch in Bavaria. The failed coup is the work of the Nazis.

2004 - Halo 2 is released by the Microsoft Corporation. The sci-fi action shooter smashes entertainment records, grossing $125 Million on its opening day.
