Congratulations to the Eagles winning the Super Bowl. Interesting note, as an alum of Mount Union - Head Coach Nick Sirianni played wide receiver at Division III Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio, winning national championships in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Though a calf injury and compartment syndrome nearly ended his playing career as a sophomore, Sirianni started for three years. As a senior in 2003, he had 998 yards and 13 touchdowns and graduated with a degree in education.

The Memphis Zoo is running a new Valentine's Day fundraiser. For $10, they'll name an elephant turd after your ex.

They went with the tagline, "Name a Turd After a Turd."  All the proceeds will go to help care for the zoo's 3,500 animals.

It's not just for exes. They say it's also a great gift for "your annoying neighbor, overbearing mother-in-law, [or] that coworker who still gives you nightmares."

For 10 bucks, you get a digital card and a sharable video of elephant poop hitting a pile of more elephant poop.

There's also an option to send a sweet video of a red panda eating a grape . . . but no one's doing that.  Go to MemphisZoo.org/Dating-or-Dumping. The deadline is Wednesday.

A judge in upstate New York was just forced to resign after he made some wild statements during a jury screening process, where HE was a prospective juror.

His name is Richard T. Snyder.  In court transcripts, he said he was a judge, but that he could NOT be impartial.  He said, "I know everybody that comes in front of me . . . they're guilty . . . they would not be in front of me [if they were innocent]." 

A judicial commission interviewed him, and Richard said, he "understood that defendants are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty . . . but that he still felt that people wouldn't be in court if they didn't commit crimes."

Richard was forced to resign, and agree to never serve as a judge again. 

I didn't know that Judges would be picked for Jury Duty.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Rats are very impressive breeders, with one pair having the potential to produce 15,000 descendants in ONE YEAR.  That's because young rats reach sexual maturity at just two to three months old.
