Microsoft's artificial intelligence sexbot is a total success!
By success, I mean that she completely encapsulates the wants, needs, and values of the social losers who keep promoting AI and robots. Well done, MS!

Happy Birthday Vanishing Point!
Premiered on this date in 1971, (some sources claim that it was 1/15, but I think this is the correct date). One of my favorite films.

Phantom Cars
http://www.strangehistory.net/2016/03/08/an-urban-legend-the-vanishing-car/
There were tales of a much less dramatic phantom car about three blocks from where I grew up in Alexandria. I never experienced the phenomena.

Bigger than Jesus
It was on this date in 1966 that John Lennon caused Beatles record sales to skyrocket (so they could be burned) by claiming they were more popular than Jesus. No word from Jesus on that.
