You learn something new everyday, right so why not share?!

Most people know that “Video Killed the Radio Star” was MTV’s first video, but do you know the second video to air? It was Pat Benetar’s “You Better Run.”

ok, i'll go again.
The term 'bug', when referring to computers or software, dates back to when computers were huge, hulking machines that took up entire rooms. Moths and other flying insects would wander into the machinery and get caught in sensitive parts, causing errors.

When I was 11yo I ate my first Taco Bell food.
Everything on the menu was nineteen cents and drinks were ten cents.
It was in Downey California. During the summer I would sometimes go to work with my dad and we would always stop by there and eat on the way home. They eventually opened one in Pomona and you could stuff yourself for under a dollar including a drink!
They also had a sandwich called the BellBeefer that was a taco on a bun. They discontinued it when they started their "Think outside the bun" advertising campaign. It is still to this day the number one item requested to be put back on the menu. (Del Taco has them).

I found a pic of the original store in Downey. The original owner started out with a hot dog stand in San Bernadino. That's the same way Carl Karcher started out (Carl's Jr.)

All the Taco Bells had that statue of the Mexican in the sombrero out front. Mexican activists got the Califonia congress to make him remove them all as they felt it was offensive.

Another eatery I remember as a kid was Burger Chef. They have long since been gone here in California but they were still around in the midwest until 1996. They at one point were a larger chain than McDonalds. They sold off to Hardees.
Their first hamburgers sold for 15 cents. In the late 1950s, they created the first "value combo" as a hamburger, fries, and soft drink for 45¢ (50¢ with a milkshake).
My family had five kids so my parents loved to treat us and they could do it on a budget there. Their hamburgers were really good, and if we behaved they would let us get a shake too.
