1843 - Charles Thurber Patents Typewriter - What a genius! Now men courting women wouldn’t suffer from hand cramps from writing so many love letters and poems that profess their love. What?

August 18th - It was on this day in history in 1967 that the Rolling Stones released the song We Love You.  Mick Jagger was quite the looker back then, but now he’s kinda scary looking.

August 15th - It was on this day in history in 1848 that the dental chair was patented.  I hated that chair as a child…I feared it like a convict fears the electrical chair. I guess the idea was to create something more comfortable for people to sit in while they get their teeth pulled out or drilled…how nice. But there is one thing I fear more than the dental chair, and that’s not having dental insurance.

August 6th - It was on this day in history in 1996 that NASA announced that life may have existed on Mars. This doesn’t seem like a far-fetched assumption. I find it very hard to believe that we’re the only life form in the entire universe.  But that’s a whole blog on its own. Do you envision these other life forms to be what we see in movies? The green long n’ lanky body with huge cantaloupe-shaped head and protruding almond-shaped eyes?  Well, this is the idea that most people have, so at the next costume part you’re invited to, wear one of these costumes.

M. Night Shyamalan, 38 - He’s the director of such spine-shilling films as The Sixth Sense, Signs and Lady in the Water.  These films all touch upon certain things that all of us are scared of, or at least question a few times in our lifetime. The idea of ghosts lost and wandering among us, aliens taking over the planet and harming us, and old folklores told to us as children coming true…like the Boogie Man! I think that’s why Shyamalan’s movies are always a success, because they touch a certain part of us that longs to experience such thing, though we’re deathly afraid of them. In the mood to freak yourself out now? Head over to Target for low-priced DVDs on sale now. And redeem free Target Coupons for $5 off when you spend $50 or more.
