Vote for Me! (or I'll kill you)
Saddam Hussein once used Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" as a campaign theme song. Originally written and recorded by Dolly Parton and later covered by Houston, it's doubtful that Hussein paid anything for the rights to use the tune.

What Country's Dessert Are You?
| You Are an Apple Strudel |
 You are a steady and stable person. You stick to what you know and love. You focus more on quality and simplicity than adventure. You like your life just fine as it is. And while you may be slow to change, you are open minded. You are too easygoing to be picky. You are a compassionate and forgiving person. You are easy on everyone, and you are especially easy on yourself. |

Green Acres Trivia
Green Acres was the first television show where the characters sang the theme song...beating the Monkees by one year.

Your Team Cheats
From the website: So you think there's only one NFL team that cheats? You're wrong. All 32 NFL teams cheat. Yup, even your favorite team is a dirty cheater, but since they are not that good, nobody really cares.
The Cowboys have a score of "20", below the league average and my own bias aside, some of the charges are legitimate but picayune, particularly the "salarycapgate" where the 'Boys were penalized by the league for front loading contracts during the 2010 uncapped season. The problem with that is the contracts were sent to the league office and approved by them.
The "PEDSgate" is laughable, citing an offensive lineman from 1990 - who was out of the league a year later, the QB coach Wade Wilson, who has diabetes and took a drug in '07 to "enhance his quality of life" and the most recent case from 2014, Orlando Scandrick, who tested positive for MDMA, aka Molly/Ecstasy - obviously not taken to enhance performance, but to get high...not that that is an excuse. Most of the rest are laughable.

The End Is Nigh
Ultimate Apocalyptic Mashup
I recognize quite a few of the movies in this mashup but not all. Surprising, since post-apocalyptic sci-fi is my favorite theme in both movies and books.
