They even hope to get President Obama on board.

  3. Grammy nominees, Kobe Bryant and Tim Cooke are having an awesome St. Nick's Day

    If you stepped into something unexpected today, here's hoping it was related to <strong>St. Nicholas Day</strong> and not a irresponsible pet owner. Millions of children (and some freaky adults) are finding candy and other assorted junk stuffed into their shoes this morning in one of the more unsanitary Christmas traditions. And in keeping with the concept of finding free crap in your shoe, it seems like everyone's having an awesome day on the Internet!

  6. Jazz pianist John Beasley to have January residency at Blue Whale

    The story may be apocryphal, but according to legend (i.e. Wikipedia) the jazz pianist John Beasley put together his first drum kit at age 2, using kitchen pots and pans. History does not record the title of the debut tune that Beasley performed on his DIY percussion set (let's hope, for his parents' sake, that it didn't take place 'round midnight).
