Forget the fake crap that passes for Reality TV these days! “I am Moving to Japan”:http://dogbonesbackyard.blogspot.com/2006/07/i-am-moving-to-japan.html links to a Japanese show presenting a game show done right; make a mistake, get hit in the nuts!

Did you know that in 1977, a U.S. Patent was issued for the combover? Yes, it’s true, “Patent 4,022,227 – Method of concealing partial baldness”:http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=4,022,227.WKU.&OS=PN/4,022,227&RS=PN/4,022,227 was issued to Frank and Donald Smith, of Orlando, FL.
