Mikey hurries into the emergency room late one night with the tip of his index finger shot off. "How did this happen?" the emergency room doctor asked him. "Well, I was trying to commit suicide," Mikey replied. "What?"
sputtered the doctor? "You tried to commit suicide by shooting your finger off?" "No Doctor!" the Mikey said. "First I put the
gun to my chest, and I thought: I just paid $50.00 for this shirt, I'm not shooting myself in the chest." "So then?" asked the
doctor. "Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought: I just paid $500.00 to get my teeth straightened, I'm not shooting myself
in the mouth." "So then?" "Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: This is going to make a loud noise. So I put my
finger in the other ear before I pulled the trigger."

(Tom Parker) to create the massive merchandising that became Elvis Presley Enterprises,” said ItsOnlyRocknRoll.com president Marc
Zakarin. “Like Valentino, Clara Bow, and Mickey Mouse, Elvis had the elements necessary to sell.”
World’s Largest Dice Collection
On September 7, 2004, Kevin Cook was informed by the people at the Guinness Book of World Records that
he had been successful in setting the record for the largest dice collection in the world. Mr. Cook had amassed to that point

The exhibit will preview items from the live online and catalog auction, which also includes a receipt from the Beatles signed by

General George Washington with the Battle of Princeton in the background and the flags of the captured Hessians at his feet. Peale
sent the painting to Spain soon after its completion to encourage the American cause abroad and became a symbol of American international
relations.
