“The Mouse Trap,” by Agatha Christie is the longest running play in history.
All of the roles in Shakespeare’s plays were originally acted by men and boys. In England at that time, it wasn’t proper for females to appear on stage.
All the proceeds earned from James M. Barrie’s book “Peter Pan”…

Helena Bonham-Carter was named a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) today at Buckingham Palace, and this is what she wore. We’re sure the Queen was amused.

Photos: The world’s smallest chameleon can sit on the head of a match
A new kind of chameleon, believed to be the smallest in the world, was discovered on the island of Madagascar on Wednesday. The “Brookesia micra,” discovered by German and American biologists, has a body only 16 millimetres long, or 23 mm with its tail fully extended. It’s so small that it’s only about twice as long as a the head of a match. (Photos: Zoologische Staatssammlung Muenchen/Joern Koehler/Reuters)
7:34 AM
Heavy sunbeam comes in through the window, opening my eyes to see only white.
It lays across the pillows and peach roses that are left over from Valentine’s Day.
Up and outside to the brick patio.
To see the sun rising sideways, through telephone wires and over orange groves.
I hear the garbage collector, because it is Thursday.
He stops and empties our worthless pieces. Metal claw cannot get it all. He moves on.
As he passes, he waves and smiles.
Gray hair, green shirt, mustache, golden spectacles.
I never thought I’d want to be a garbage man for a day…but, If I were to be, I’d see every person on the patio in their back yard…barefoot, in a pink thrift robe, smoking a cigarette—-and thinking of something like this.
Post secret came early this weekend. I loved their Valentines Day edition!
