Who be a newbie?
My father (a patent lawyer) kept in his files a patent for a "male enhancement device", circa 1910. If I can find it in his warren of papers ...

I just remembered that the name of the family that started the Toyota Motor Company was Toyoda. A numerologist convinced them that the car would sell better if they changed the name to Toyota.

LOOSE WOMENS INSTITUTE
Which reminds me of the Goon show which had the following script, kinda:
[rattling and crashing noise in the background]
Neddy: What's that noise?
Henry Crum: Ah, that's just Min falling apart.
[pause]
Henry Crum: She's a loose woman, you know!
FWIW
The idiot also known as Capfka ...

Honest to God, here in Chicago we now or recently have these four politicians in high elective office(warning: lightly blue):
Dick Phalen, President of Cook County Board
Dick Hardigan, Illinois Attorney General
Dick Devine, Cook County States Attorney, and
Hizzoner Dick Daley, Mayor of Chicago

Here's one specially for Sparteye:
NPR had a segment this evening on a book about a "woods cop", i.e., a conservation officer, who has a territory in the U.P. of Michigan. The author of the book was being interviewed and noted that the woods cop "is known to have a problem with authority -- he tends to be a lone shark".
(I guess that's the spelling to use; he certainly didn't mean "loan shark". Maybe he dances with sharks.)
