Posted by ohryankelley at 5:55 PM EDTCongratulations to Gamesviller Cplowery720 of Phoenix, AZ, who hit the jackpot TODAY playing Magic 21 and scored a searing $768 in red-hot greenbacks! Useless Facts! Cplowery720's hometown of Phoenix is hot! So hot in fact that it typically reaches over 100 degrees farenheit on a daily basis in the summertime. As the saying goes, "it's so hot outside you could fry an egg!" So a curious Phoenix resident wanted to find out once and for all, can you fry an egg on the sidewalk of Phoenix?

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 4:01 PM EDTThis week's Best Pets comes to us from Gamesviller Gramdeb4 of Galena, IL. Meet her determined dogs Jesse and Maxie! Distinguishing Personality Traits Gramdeb4 says, "These are my granddogs, Jesse the miniature pinscher & Maxie the doberman. They love their Gramma and usually fight over who will sit on my lap. It always ends in a draw with both dogs sharing the lap. They lost their mommy on June 7th of this year when my daughter lost her brave fight with lymphoma. Now Jesse lives with me, along with my granddaughter and Maxie lives with Daddy. They do see each other a lot and competition continues between the two. Never doubt that dogs do mourn or feel loss--these two still miss Mommy and we do our best to shower them with comfort and love."

Topic: Weird Wire™
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:42 PM EDTWe've heard of family squabbles, but this one may take the cake. According to KTLA comedian Sunda Croonquist's mother-in-law jokes may have struck a nerve, as she is now being sued by the family member for spreading false, defamatory lies with in-law jokes that have become a staple of her routine. The action seeks damages and demands that Croonquist remove any offensive statements from her Web site, routines and recordings. While Croonquist agreed to drop any language her family finds offensive in her act, she refuses to pay any settlement. That must be one tough crowd to entertain during the holidays.

Posted by Chris Cummings at 12:01 AM EDTToday is a day for the history books! Why? Because kendalline of Haleyville, AL, (pictured at left) became the first winner in our recently revised version of Magic 21! Best of all, because this savvy card player is a GV Gold member, the stated jackpot in Magic 21 automatically doubled for her from $636 to $1,272--just like magic. Congratulations, kendalline! Useless Fact! Haleyville, AL, is located in Winston/Marion county and is the proud home of the award-winning Haleyville High School Band. The band's last notable victory was in 2003 when they were crowned Grand Champion in a national competition. Bonus Useless Fact! Bigfoot has been sighted in Winston/Marion county.

Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 3:02 PM EDTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller April1721 of Schenectady, New York. Meet her cuddly little fighter, Cat Mandu! Distinguishing Personality Traits April1721 says, "This is Cat Mandu, our kitten we got from the shelter a little over five months ago. With a dangerously low white blood cell count he's been fighting for his life since we took him in. Cat Mandu often can't eat, drink or move quickly without some assistance. Even after all his fighting he still manages to cuddle up next to me and my husband and give us all the love he has in his little body. He is such a strong cat and I thank God everyday we gave him a safe and loving home to be a part of. I don't know what I would do without seeing his beautiful blue eyes everyday."
