This one caught my eye.
Now here’s some weird readup on the Valentine guy himself. Read on. And be nice!
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first ‘valentine’ greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor’s daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine,’ an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

Sayonara Mr Noodle
Jan 6th
Momofuku Ando of Nissin died of a heart failure yesterday, 5th January 2007. The godfather to astronauts and starving college students was 96.
Ando was inspired to develop the instant noodle after coming upon a long line of people on a cold night shortly after World War II waiting to buy freshly made ramen at a black market food stall, according to Nissin. The experience convinced him that “Peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat,” it said.’
And get this..He’s actually Chinese, not Japanese. Woo..
Mr Malique, Out!
