Odd stuff (15 of 30)

I was reading an article on Nascar.com today about a man who (in part) helped get Las Vegas Motor Speedway up and running..... so then I went to "Google Maps" and looked up where the speedway is located... then I found out where "The Strip" is .... then I wondered where "Caesars Palace" was because Evel Knievel jumped the fountains there (or sort of did - he jumped it and then crashed hard - video on Youtube)..... then that all lead me to this question.........

Why is there no apostrophe in "Caesars Palace"...... should it not be "Caesar's Palace"?

The answer: No! (And here is why)......

(From Wikipedia).... "[Jay] Sarno felt that guests should feel they were at a king's home while at his hotel. It is called "Caesars" and not "Caesar's" because every guest is a Caesar."

So there! You can't say you did not learn anything today! (And - if you are interested - write back and I can give you lots more useless facts re. the speedway, Evel Knievel, fountains in general and a bunch of other things)

The girls are in Regina tonight without me..... so I did what any red blooded Canadian male would do when his women are gone...... I put up a tire rack in my garage - went to Weyburn for a hockey game - and got thrown out of Tim Horton's when they closed at 11 pm. Wooooooo - what a wild night!!!!! I AM LIVING THE DREAM!!!!! :)

Here is a picture of the tire rack I installed (It is not my picture - not my garage - just a similar one - I may post the real one tomorrow - assuming it is still hanging on the wall - it is heavy!)
