Thursday Night Open Thread
Herb Alpert finally had a number one instrumental hit on the Billboard charts in 1979. But, it wasn’t his first number one hit. He had hit number one eleven years earlier with a vocal performance.
Herb Alpert is the only artist to hit number one with both an instrumental and a vocal song. The more you know…
What’s on your mind? Got something to share? It’s Thursday Night Open Thread.

Hungry, Tired, and… Whatever the Unimportant Ones Are
A new study shows that humans have 27 distinct emotional states.
I’m sure liberals will insist it’s one for each gender.

I had no idea about the road gaps in Africa, Central America, and Siberia.
Link of the Day: Cave-Man-Made Global Warming
[High Praise! to Neatorama]
I don’t know how interesting this article is as a whole, as it’s kinda long and I’ve never been to that part of Washington state, but I enjoyed poking through it, and it served as an excellent reminder that controlling weather is just not something humans can do.

Also, the Only State Completely Immune to Global Warming
A new survey shows that Minnesota is the happiest state in America.
Probably because, at the rate we’re going, it’ll be the only state not to get nailed by a hurricane.

Birthday surprise
I have a surprise for Harvey’s birthday today. I’m going to ignore it. I bet Harvey didn’t see that coming!
Instead, I’m going to talk about my daughter. You see, it’s her birthday.
Note: I have several family birthday connections with the IMAO family. Sarah K and I share a birthday. Frank J and my daughter-in-law share a birthday. And Harvey and my daughter share a birthday.
My little girl is living in Manhattan now with her husband and son. Yes, my Little Princess is now a Mom in Manhattan. Oh, how time flies. I still remember being there when she was born, watching that little baby cry her first breaths. Yes, I got to lay eyes on her before her mother did. No, it wasn’t a competition. But I still won.
Anyway, if you’re on Facebook, you may want to wish the Little Princess a happy birthday.
Or not. I mean, it might be a little weird leaving comments to a total stranger, right? And she’s a total stranger to you. But she’ll always be my Little Princess.
Can You Imagine What He’d Get Were He a Toddler?
