Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy was celebrated yesterday.  There is no shortage of interesting tidbits about him and his story.  According to sources, King almost left out of his most famous speech, the 'I Have a Dream' bit, if not for "a remark shouted by gospel singer and King friend Mahalia Jackson . . . ' Tell them about the dream, Martin! ' "   she called to him.      story

Did you know Adele's in trouble (well, British trouble) for making her tea wrong?  Poor lass.  In her latest music video Hello, it "clearly shows Adele pouring the water into the cup and putting the teabag in second like some kind of monster."   story             I mean, I think she did fine but then again, I don't make the tea rules.  Anywho, personally I'm more obsessed with her gorge eyeliner.  If you care to see both the tea and eyes for yourself, the video's below.

"Consumers are shelling out more for a carton of large eggs as benchmark prices in California have gone up by 150 percent in a year."   That's no yolk.  In California there is a push to require all eggs sold be from free roaming chickens, and that effects price as well.  I wonder, what came first -- freedom or the chicken?      news
