Bar Code Google - You May Have to Start Scanning Your...

Well the title was a little bit misleading...

The truth is Google is commemorating the 57th anniversary of the bar code. Way back on October 7th 1952 Inventors Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver were finally granted their rights to the "bar code". These crafty guys thought that it would be a cool idea if a code could be scanned from any angle and read the same identification... Pretty cool!

As a way to say thanks Google has decided to change their name from standard text to the new bar code which you'll probably see all day today. Which they regularly do during holidays and other special occasions.

Leave your comments below about what you think of the new change.

Tony Fein - Former Ole Miss Linebacker Found Dead... What!!!

Tony Fein, who was a member of the Ravens during the preseason and was an Iraqi War veteran, died Tuesday morning in Port Orchard, Wash., according to his agent.

There were no immediate details about his death, agent Milton D. Hobbs said.

"It's a very sad situation," Hobbs told The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday night. "I am still trying to figure out what happened."

Fein, 27, was an undrafted rookie free agent who was released by the Ravens in their final major cutdown on Sept. 5.

Although old for a rookie, Fein, at 6-foot-2, 245 pounds, caught the eyes of scouts at Mississippi's Pro Day, where the school's football players audition for scouts before the NFL draft.

While with the Ravens, Fein was arrested on Aug. 23 and was charged with misdemeanor assault on a police officer stemming from an incident at an Inner Harbor restaurant.

Security officers notified police about a group of men passing around a large, silver object suspected of being a firearm, but which turned out to be a cellular phone, police said.

When officers approached the group of men, who were seated at a counter, they demanded that Fein stand up, but he refused, according to a police report.

When Fein stood up after being asked to do so for a second time, police said he shoved an officer in the chest and was immediately arrested.

Fein was not in possession of a handgun, according to police. The cellular phone that security spotted was large, square and metallic.

Before joining the Ravens, Fein served for a year in Iraq as a 19 Delta recon scout. He has also been shot at and had to deal with roadside bombs, he said.

Fein is a native of Port Orchard, which is nine miles outside of Seattle, and was working out there while awaiting another shot at playing football, his agent said.

Puzzlewit Definition - Oh, I know You Aren't Talkin' To Me!

An old word that should have been forgotten is making the news again and it is "Puzzlewit". When first looked at it sounds like some screwy game for kids made by Milton Bradley, but the puzzlewit definition has actually been replaced in our more modern time by the word stupid.

Theodore Roosevelt called his successor William Howard Taft a “puzzlewit” and a “fathead.”

So if you are getting tired of calling your friends the same ol' boring names try this one on for size. "Man you aren't nothing' but a puzzlewit!"

LoL
