March Madness begins..you would have to make 9.2 quintillion brackets to make sure you got a perfect one. In case you were wondering, one quintillion is one billion billions.
1 in 120.2 billion (if you know a little something about basketball)
You have until noon to join my bracket. See another post for the link. I have also done a die roll bracket, where the higher roll would win, and an all chalk bracket. That’s on the higher-seeded team moving on, and a die roll for the final 4 and the final game.

Monday was National Nap Day
If you still haven't adjusted to the time change, a nap might help. Just don't sleep too long . . .
CNBC talked to a psychologist who specializes in "behavioral sleep medicine." And she says the sweet spot is 20 to 30 minutes.
If you nap any longer than that, you start getting into deeper stages of sleep, and can wake up feeling groggy.
Just 20 to 30 minutes is enough to give you a boost in energy, help you focus, and improve your mood.
She suggests setting an alarm for 30 minutes. That gives you five to ten minutes to fall asleep, and 20 minutes of actually sleep time.
Just don't do it too late in the day. She says not to nap less than eight or nine hours before your normal bedtime. For most people, that means no naps after 2:00 PM or so.

Cops pulled over an ice cream truck on Monday in Slidell, Louisiana, just outside New Orleans. The name on the side said "Tami's Ice Cream & Sweet Treats."
The 42-year-old owner, Tamisha Morin, was behind the wheel. They pulled her over because the truck had expired tags and no brake lights.
But that's the least of her worries . . . because it looks like those "sweet treats" she was selling were actually DRUGS.
When they searched her freezer, they found some melted ice cream and a bunch of METH. Thankfully, they don't think she was selling it to kids, just adults.
She's facing charges for possession of narcotics, and it turned out she had an outstanding warrant as well. They also gave her a ticket for the brake lights and expired tag.

If you already locked in "Cocaine Bear" as the most ridiculous movie premise of 2023, you moved too soon.
Because somebody made an entire movie about a guy who's stuck in a port-a-potty.
It's a German movie called....well..... It has a two-word title, and the first word is "Holy". You figure it out.
It's a horror thriller, although it appears to have comedic aspects. The hero actually wakes up trapped in the john on a construction site where a demolition is about to take place.
Turns out he was put there by a guy who wants his pregnant girlfriend, and he has to escape before he's blown to bits. The trailer dropped yesterday. It's worth a look.
