Ever sit around the bar with your buddies and say, “hell, we should totally have a band! What should we call ourselves?” And then you sit there and wonder what the band will be called?
Well wonder no longer, as the ROCK BAND NAME GENERATOR is here, generating such classic names as the DIRT DEVIL FLAB ROLLS, MUCUS WHITE TRASH, or even JACKASSERY ON A NICE GRANOLA LOAF. Rock on!

http://www.openrecords.org/ is a clearinghouse for all types of government-released records and reports, available to everyone.
They do have one section that does help those who are looking to move to a new city or neighborhood, and that is a link to US States Sex Offenders Registries, as broken out into both a national registry as well as state-by-state. Not all states report information in the same way, but you should be able to pull reports by ZIP code for most of them.
Other helpful databases linked here include the HOLOCAUST SEARCHABLE DATABASE, DALLAS RESTAURANT HEALTH SCORES, and a list of STOLEN IRAQI ARTIFACTS. Sure, some lists will be more useful than others, but the concept is the same.

According to a “main squeeze” poll conducted by Tropicana where 900 Americans were questioned about their love lives:
Although 46% reported that personality was what first attracted them to their sweethearts, 33% said looks counted too.
20% of the female respondents thought their main squeeze looked like Tom Selleck, and 21% of the male respondents thought their sweethearts looked like Sally Field.
For 70%, it was not love at first sight.

There are no rules to follow; you can be clever, foolish, funny, intimate.
You can whisper sweet nothings, exaggerate as much as you want, even tell little white lies.
If you want to write poetry, now is your chance. If you have no talent, crib some lines from someone else.
There are no laws governing the length of a love letter. Make it as long as you’d like.
Create an intimate nickname for your loved one, but remember, it can come back to haunt you. Charles Dickens wrote to his wife Kate: Dearest darling Pig; Zelda Fitzgerald to F. Scott Fitzgerald: Dear Goofo.
Some of the world’s greatest love letters were written by a Napoleon Bonaparte — a man whose fame came from his military, not his romantic, conquests.
Napoleon to Josephine Beauharnais: [I’m sending you a thousand kisses by letter]…but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire.
After their marriage, he wrote: I have not spend a day without loving you; I have not spent a night without embracing you; I have not so much as drunk a cup of tea…. In the midst of my duties…my beloved Josephine stans alone in my heart, occupies my mind, fills my thoughts.
Even later, in the middle of a campaign through Italy, he wrote to her, closing his letter with: I hope to hold you in my arms before long, when I shall lavish upon you a million kisses, burning as the equatorial sun.
If you are a true romantic, try having your valentines mailed via WITH LOVE FROM LOVELAND, a service located in Loveland, Colorado, located 30 miles northeast of Boulder. When the letters are remailed, they’ll be sent from the “sweetheart city” of the United States.
The Loveland Valentine Remailing Program started in 1947. It handles 300,000 valentines every year, going to all 50 states and 104 foreign countries. If you would like to have your valentine card stamped with the official Loveland Colorado cache and stamp:

Men polled on attitudes about women, sex
NEW YORK, Dec. 12 (UPI) — A majority of young men think women are oversensitive about sexual harassment in the workplace and would have sex with a minor if they could get away with it, according to a poll released Monday.
Glamour magazine surveyed 1,000 men in their 20’s and 30’s a number of questions on sex, relationships, morality and personal appearance.
The findings:

Scientists have decided to prove conclusively whether SANTA CLAUS CAN PHYSICALLY EXIST or not, based on proven scientific method.
You will have to visit the site to see how they handled their calculations, but they figured out approximately how many homes Santa has to visit in a given evening (91.8 million), the number of total hours Santa has to work with due to the earth’s rotation (31 hours), giving us the total number of house visits that Santa would need to make per second (822.4).
Of course, they’ve also determined that Santa would need 214,200 flying reindeer, not the Super Original Eight Reindeer (let’s face it – Rudolph never was able to pull his own weight, he was mere decoration at the front of the hood).
The scientiest final conclusion is not a pretty one, after they added up all the math and determined the “best case” scenarios — all documented, of course. But you’ll have to click over there to see what they came up with.
Preparation for parenthood is not just a matter of reading books and decorating the nursery. Here are some simple tests for expectant parents to take to prepare themselves for the real-life experience of being a mother or father.
Men: To prepare for paternity, go to the local pharmacy, tip the contents of your wallet on the counter, and tell the pharmacist to help himself. Then go to the supermarket. Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their bank account. Go home. Pick up the paper. Read it for the last time.
