@KRYPTON INC., nice and thanks! Only thing is the one of Gordon and Marco is not from 1980, it is from the late 80s. Gordon was 14 in 1980 and Marco was still training under Pierre Koffman around 1980.

While speaking at the Air Force Academy’s commencement on May 27, 2009, a gust of wind knocked down his teleprompter. Vice President Joe Biden joked: “What am I going to tell the president when I tell him his teleprompter is broken? What will he do then?”

After Vice President Joe Biden introduced President Barack Obama at a ceremony marking the signing of the health care law on March 23, 2010, microphones caught the vice president telling his boss: “This is a big f---ing deal.”

The soft serve aficionado campaigned his way through the Buckeye State in May 2012, but not before buying a round of cones and milk shakes at Dairy Queen for fellow ice cream lovers. "How about some ice cream?" he asked the crowd before picking up the tab. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

Laika (Russian: Лайка;[a] c. 1954 – November 3, 1957) was a Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika, a stray dog from the streets of Moscow, was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on November 3, 1957.


Laika died within hours from overheating, possibly caused by a failure of the central R-7 sustainer to separate from the payload. The true cause and time of her death were not made public until 2002; instead, it was widely reported that she died when her oxygen ran out on day six or, as the Soviet government initially claimed, she was euthanised prior to oxygen depletion. On April 11, 2008, Russian officials unveiled a monument to Laika. A small monument in her honour was built near the military research facility in Moscow that prepared Laika's flight to space. It features a dog standing on top of a rocket. She also appears on the Monument to the Conquerors of Space in Moscow.

VEISHEA (pronounced "VEE-sha") was an annual week-long celebration held each spring on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. The celebration featured an annual parade and many open-house demonstrations of the university facilities and departments. Campus organizations exhibited products and technologies, and held fund raisers for various charity groups. In addition, VEISHEA brought speakers, lecturers, and entertainers to Iowa State, and throughout its over eight-decade history it has hosted such distinguished guests as Bob Hope, John Wayne, Tony Bruno, Presidents Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, and Lyndon Johnson, and performers Diana Ross, Mike Jones (rapper), Billy Joel, Sonny and Cher, the Goo Goo Dolls and The Black Eyed Peas. VEISHEA was the largest student run festival in the nation, bringing in tens of thousands of visitors to the campus each year.

In 2014 a disturbance led the President Steven Leath to suspend VEISHEA, and in August 2014 Leath announced that VEISHEA was being permanently discontinued with the VEISHEA name being retired.

The name of the festival was an acronym for the colleges of the university that existed when the festival was founded in 1922:

• Veterinary Medicine
• Engineering
• Industrial Science
• Home Economics
• Agriculture.

The 1988 Veishea celebration was marked with a full riot that included a bonfire in the middle of the street that resulted in a hole “several feet deep in the asphalt” according to ISU special collections records on the history of Veishea.

The riot was put to a stop with the help of then-head basketball coach Johnny Orr and football coach Jim Walden.

In 1986, she won a Daytime Emmy award for her performance as a fairy godmother in the ABC Afterschool Special, Cindy Eller: A Modern Fairy Tale.

Her rendition of "Takes Two to Tango" hit the top ten in 1952. She received the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 1976 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom on October 17, 1988.
