Wednesday June 8th - recap

The Canucks got soundly beaten by the Bruins by a score of 8-1 on Monday but hope to come back and grab a strangle hold on their Stanley Cup final series. Game 4 from Boston is on tonight at 8 pm on CBC/RDS

This morning we learned about someone who is really committed to her friends. susyj87 is her name on youtube and she has video of her newly tattooed arm. Newly tattooed with the profile picture of each of her 156 Facebook friends. See the video here


Still Facebook related, a cautionary tale for teens and their parents. A German teenager mistakenly forgot to make a Facebook invitation to her 16th birthday party "private" and as a result she received 15000 confirmations of attendance. Once the parents found out, they made her send a cancellation notice yet still 1500 people showed up.

Two American high school students are being prevented from attending their own graduation after staging a prank Star Wars light saber fight in their high school cafeteria.

Speaking of graduations, tis the season. Here is a commencement address by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling from 2008 at Harvard. Interesting and insightful into her life and advice for all.

Congratulations to "Name That Out Of Tune" winner John Kopanas. Won a McDonald's Summer Fun Prize Pack.

A risk of Thunderstorms today in West Nipissing. Perhaps it'll pass us by and be perfect for "A&W's Cruisin' the Dub night" tonight. Moose FM's Joe Cormier will be reporting live on location.

Here's random fun proving that kids of all types enjoy a pool party



Enjoy your Wednesday,
