History is about to change: apparently, they're renaming Big Ben to Elizabeth Tower.

You know something? I find that really inspiring... I'd RULLY love for them to change the name of the Sunsphere to something like Scarbrough Sphere. :halo:
What? Seriously? Big Ben's name is being changed?

I mean, the name Big Ben is a notable name and place in the world...to just change it would be the equivalent of changing the Muppets to the Corks or something...

Well, the Freedom Tower hasn't been completed yet, and already they changed its name to One World Trade Center.

And don't forget, there's that one street in New York that had its name changed to Elmo's World.

I was just reading about this Olympic swimmer who's "in trouble" because she was posing for pictures in a bikini.

Isn't that like a porno actress getting in trouble for posing for Playboy?

I'm still trying to figure out how a swimmer can get in trouble for posing in bikini photos.

Context of the photos? They should have been working when the photos were taken? Its against their contract to do it?

Could be any number of reasons

I am dumbfounded by how some people are so "uneducated" that when hear "Yankee Doodle Dandy", they assume it's an instrumental version of the Barney theme song.
