    Did you know

    The USS Minnow in the show Gilligan's Island was named after FCC President Newton Minow?

    Yes, I did. I do read a lot of trivia, and in this case, a lot of it on IMDB.

    Okay, now for the age old question that has been boggling the minds of males from the level of Genius to Moron. Is it Ginger or Maryanne ?
