Here's an interesting question..when you hear the National Anthem at a sporting event, do you put your hand over your heart?
Stand, remove hat..yes..but I don't think I have done the hand over the heart.
I guess it's a thing now after Michael Strahan didn't during FOX NFL Sunday during a Veteran's Day tribute.
There was so much backlash that he had to address it - he says he got "caught up in the moment," and once he realized his hand wasn't on his heart, he thought he'd look like a fool if he changed his stance.
He added, quote, "If that offended any of our military and veterans, I apologize to you because that was never my intent.
"I'm a product of the military, a proud lover of the military, and proud lover of all those who serve before, now, and who will serve in the future."

THIS IS THE BEST USE FOR AI!!!!
A company in the U.K. has created an A.I. "grandmother" bot . . . just to talk to phone scammers and waste their time. The bot is named dAIsy, and if scammers ask for personal details, she'll fake them, and keep talking.
the voice mimics an older person, who goads phone scammers into meandering, fruitless conversations.

AskReddit asks - "What would you do if you woke up tomorrow . . . and the year is 2005?"
Naturally, many people had heavy responses . . . like spending time with loved ones who have since passed, correcting relationship mistakes, or warning people of problems ahead. But others had lighter responses.
"Breathe a huge sigh of relief . . . and do EVERYTHING differently."
"I'd take a moment to appreciate how chill things were with no constant notifications, just enjoying simpler tech, like burned CDs and instant messaging."
"Tell Blockbuster to buy Netflix."
"Shed tears of joy that the last 20 years of trauma and negative events were ALL just a dream."
"I'd buy tank tops . . . Aeropostale probably has them 3 for $20."
"Go pee. I almost always have to pee when I wake up."
There was also someone who panicked . . . because they wouldn't have been born yet in 2005.

It's mid-November. Have the "holidays" arrived yet?
Someone asked 2,000 people to name the top signs the holidays have officially started. And the #1 answer was hearing Christmas music on the radio.
Festive music on the radio is #1 with 20% of the vote. Seeing or hearing your first holiday ad is next at 13%. And the sun setting before 5:00 P.M. got 11%.
Regardless of when you think the holidays start, two-thirds of us have already started prepping for them in one way or another. 61% said they've already purchased at least one gift.
64% are also gearing up to travel, and you might need to prepare yourself emotionally for it. The average person lasts less than a day before they need some alone time. The average is 19.6 hours. (shouldn't that be minutes?)

The Uber Eats delivery service released its annual "Cravings" report,
The 10 most popular special requests are: No onion . . . no tomato . . . extra sauce . . . spicy . . . well done . . . no cheese . . . fries . . . no vegetables . . . no ice . . . and no mushrooms.
The 10 most ordered items overall are: Burrito bowls . . . fries . . . chicken nuggets . . . chicken sandwiches . . . waffle fries . . . cheeseburgers . . . mac & cheese . . . boneless wings . . . pepperoni pizza . . . and fried rice.
But it also includes a list of the most "unique food combos" people ordered this year . . . and an orange creamsicle with Tajin was one of them. Tajin is a chilli sauce.
They left it vague as to whether the Tajin was supposed to go on the orange creamsicle . . . or they were just part of the same order . . . but people online have combined those flavors, and it sounds intriguing.
Here's the rest of the list:
1. Scallops and boiled eggs
2. Fajitas and French onion soup
3. Fried fish sticks and green tea
4. Pepperoni pizza and anchovies. This one doesn't seem that weird, assuming you're that one person in your friend group who likes anchovies.

Four people in L.A. are facing insurance fraud charges after claiming a bear got into their 2010 Rolls-Royce and destroyed it.
They claimed it happened in January during a trip to Lake Arrowhead. (About 75 miles east of L.A.) And they had security footage to back it up, but that footage is what did them in.
Even though it's from a distance, you can tell it's obviously somebody in a bear COSTUME.
Officials launched an investigation called "Operation Bear Claw." They looped in a biologist at the California Department of Wildlife, who watched the video and told them it was "clearly a human in a bear suit."
The scratch marks in the car also looked weird and too evenly spaced. It turned out they'd used metal claws meant for shredding meat. Officials found the bear suit and the claws in one of the suspects' homes.
As dumb as the plan was, it turned out they'd actually pulled it off TWICE before with two other cars, both Mercedes. Together, the fraudulent claims netted them just over $140,000.
And congratulations idiots..you have now ruined your car!!!!

Lady Gaga will be in "Wednesday" Season 2. She's currently filming with the crew in Europe.
It's not known yet what her role is.
Back in December 2022, Lady Gaga went viral on TikTok for doing the "Wednesday" dance to a remix of her song "Bloody Mary".
It caught the attention of Jenna Ortega who said that Netflix would probably love for Gaga to join the show. Quote, "If Lady Gaga were to be a part, I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other."
