But youth wants to know:
a.) Did George wear the horse head while engaging in martial bliss with his bride?
b.) Are we to infer that George is as well endowed as said horse?
c.) Was the semi-somnambulant bride just exhausted from her world-wind romance with George or completely blissed out?
d.) Who took the Polaroids?
e.) Why would the sexual exploits of George Clooney (granted a very handsome man, with or without a horse head mask) encourage me to put my money into DnB Nor?
YOUTH wants to know!

On the same day, in their so-called 'Battle of the Sexes,' tennis star Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, at the Houston Astrodome .
In recent years, a persistent urban legend has arisen, particularly on the Internet, that the rules were modified for the match so that Riggs had only one serve for King's two, and that King was allowed to hit into the doubles court area.
This is false: the match was played under the normal rules of tennis.

David Bowie's Fame, single goes #1 for 2 weeks
John Lennon helped write this song - he came up with the title and also sang the background "Fame" parts in the high voice. They started working on the song when Bowie invited Lennon to the studio, and Lennon played rhythm guitar on a jam session that resulted in this track. Bowie met Lennon less than a year earlier at a party thrown by Elizabeth Taylor. Lennon was one of Bowie's idols, and they became good friends.
