...real humdinger. It was the year 2000. Peacetime. Boom time. An era of big ideas." But in 2008, with a faltering economy and a war on two fronts, this tale of self-induced starvation just doesn't seem as funny. Can lentils and hard-boiled eggs save...
...While everyone said they had risen before dawn in order to take advantage of Black Friday deals, there was little consensus on whether they were really saving money overall. "The recession is on and we're trying to save money," said Renita Raghubir, 22, who had just splurged on some Guess and DKNY jeans.

Heavy rain filled the brim of Donald Duck's hat in 1962, causing the character to tip over and dump 50 gallons of water on unamused onlookers. In 1971, rain fell so heavily that the balloon portion of the parade was cancelled. Sonic the Hedgehog broke...
