People from Guam are called Guamanians. I learned something new today.

I was also given possibly the worst compliment ever today. With no context necessary, some lady told me, "You're better looking than George Costanza."

Some guy got beaten senseless at a Nickelback concert. I would imagine that it helped take his mind off of the pain.

re: Cramer -- Wow. The guy has no sense of perspective, that the world will not end if Bear Stearns stock gets cut in half. Financial firms take risks all the time, and sometimes they lose.
