F-18 Supersonic Flyby

From AIRBOYD, a YouTube channel I just discovered and subscribed to:

Titanic: Rose vs Jack

Funny video on the often annoying habit of screenwriters overusing character's names.

Ooops

On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents every day.*

*Note:  That's a world-wide average, not in the U.S.

What is That?

Since I love The Big Bang Theory, I clicked on this link on my Bing start page: ‘Big Bang Theory’ engagement: Leonard and Penny spark emotional Twitter reaction

I then clicked on the video, thinking I'd see some comments by Kaley Cuoco or her real-life husband, Ryan Sweeting, but it was just a clip of last night's show where Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Cuoco) get engaged.

What really piqued my interest was this, the "cover" photo of the video:

No, not Sweeting and Cuoco being newlywed lovebirds, but this in the background, top left:

What the hell is that?  I'm thinking it's probably just the angle of the photo, but if it's not, then that guy is with a female Wookiee.

TV Dinner Trivia

The first TV dinners were invented in 1953. Someone at Swanson severely overestimated the amount of turkey Americans would consume that Thanksgiving. With 260 tons of frozen birds to get rid of, a company salesman named Gerry Thomas ordered 5,000 aluminum trays, recruited an assembly line of women armed with spatulas and ice-cream scoops and began creating mini-feasts of turkey, corn-bread dressing, peas and sweet potatoes - creating the first-ever TV dinner. Thomas later said he got the idea from neatly packaged airplane food.
