Cool Article about Steve McQueen, the King of Cool

I found an article on Matchflick.com called "A Guide to the King of Cool" by Andy York.  He writes about the famous movies that Steve McQueen made:

The Magnificent Seven
The Great Escape
Love with the Proper Stranger
The Thomas Crown Affair
The Sand Pebbles
Bullitt
The Getaway
Papillion

I've seen these movies except for Love with the Proper Stranger and The Sand Pebbles.  Steve McQueen was certainly the King of Cool.  A true Hollywood Icon that is greatly missed.  He started out as a TV star on a show called "Wanted: Dead or Alive."

RIP Evel Knievel

I was shocked to hear on the CBS Evening News that Evel Knievel had passed away after a long illness.  He was in the news earlier this week settling a lawsuit with Kanye West over a video where Kanye calls himself "Evel Kanyevel."  I used to watch Evel do his stunts on TV when I was kid back in the 1970s.

Evel was 69 years old.  E! News wrote a tribute article for Evel called "Death of a Daredevil."

Gray Matters

Researchers say that there is more gray matter in the brains of autistic children than healthy children, according to a recent study.  The brain imaging techniques (diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and apparent diffusion coefficient based morphometry (ABM) have shown an increase of gray matter in the area of the parietal lobes.  It makes it difficult for the brain to process the learn by seeing method (Monkey see, monkey do).

Mirror neutrons were studied.  They are brain cells that activate when one does an action or experience an emotion and when you see someone else do the same thing. 

Good Luck with Your Future, Heather!

I was sorry to learn that Heather, the model with Asperger's Syndrome, was ejected from America's Next Top Model last night.  Her exit interview shows that she is optimistic about her future and that's the important part.

Good Luck!

Remembering George Harrison

It was six years ago today when George Harrison, the Baby Beatle, passed away due to cancer.  A very sad day for all Beatles fans.  I cried my eyes out when I found out.
