There she stood, the only thing now separating her from him was the door of his apartment. She debated going back downstairs to the front of the building and back out the front door to ring the doorbell. At first she thought she got lucky when she was able to get in without having to use the doorbell. A young couple was walking out and they had their hands full carrying a newborn baby, a stroller, and a diaper bag. They didn’t even notice she passed...

Random Fact of the Day for Monday, 5/13: The shortest player to ever play the game of baseball was Carl Edward “Eddie” Gaedel. Eddie stood in that batter’s box at a whopping height of 3 feet and 7 inches. It was one at bat and he walked on 4 straight pitches. He played for the St. Louis Browns and the game took place on August 19, 1951. He strike zone measured just an inch and a half. [Editor's Note: If I was the pitcher, I would have hit him with the first pitch. Why waste 4 pitches? But that's just...

Fact: Adam West, Clint Eastwood, and Burt Reynolds were all offered the role of James Bond, and all declined, believing James Bond should always be played by a Brit. I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to these American heroes (hyperbole) for not being greedy and ruining Bond as...

I would have to go with The Rock, unfortunately that’s taken. Also, giving yourself a nickname is pretty frowned upon unless you’re a rapper. That doesn’t stop Tim Duncan, though. When he first got into the league, this nerdy Center wanted to be called Merlin. His teammate’s saved his life by rejecting that right off the bat. That’s just giving the other team an easy way to get in your head. Don’t believe me? You don’t have to, here’s the...
