5 "foods" that are gone forever
There are some foods even Donald Trump can't have shipped in because they're gone. Can you say Twinkie? Here are five other foods that once graced the grocery store shelves but are now history...

The worst thing ever for your relationship is...
...even worse than Facebook! The worse thing for your relationship is the lack of sleep! A study suggests that the lack of sleep tends to prioritize ourselves over our partner and become complete jerks. We forget the little things, like saying "thank you." The study, out of UC Berkeley found that if "you slept like a baby, but your partner didn't, you'll probably both end up grouchy." Source

Shakira had her baby -- a little boy. It's her first with boyfriend Gerard Pique. This is what was posted on her Facebook page:
We are happy to announce the birth of Milan Piqué Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36pm, in Barcelona, Spain.
The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification.
Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth.
The hospital confirmed that the couple’s first child weighed approximately 6lbs. 6 ounces, and that both mother and child are in excellent health.

We lost a great one on this day in 2005...Johnny Carson. He was 79.
Today is Handwriting Day.
There was a man driving a pickup truck down a country road, when suddenly he was broad sided by a trailer truck. Some time went by, and the case got to court.
The defense attorney said to the plaintiff, "How can you be suing my client now when you told a trooper after the accident that you felt fine?"
The man replied, "Well sir, it was like this. We was drivin' down the road, mindin' our own business, when a big trailer truck came out of nowhere and creamed us. When I came to, I was in the ditch, and a trooper was pullin' up with his car.
He looked at the hogs, and they was 'most dead, so he shot 'em. Then he looked at my dog, and he was hurt real bad, so he shot him. Then he came over to me and he said, 'How you feeling?'" "
I said, I never felt better in my life."
