ALAN JACKSON SELLS OUT DOWN UNDER IN MINUTES! Tickets to Alan Jackson's third show in Brisbane, Australia sold out in 23 minutes. The show had been added to Alan's original four-date tour in Australia due to demand. It will be his first time to headline a show in Australia and he's glad he'll be able to finally meet his fans that have apparently been supporting him for years. “Yea I understand we've sold a few records down there. I think it will be fun. It's not that I never wanted to go. You know, just scheduling and it's a long time to be from home." Alan will tour Australia from March 4th through the 12th along with Miranda Lambert and newcomer Jasmine Rae who is from Australia but now lives in Nashville.

MAKE YOU LAUGH
Geoscientists from Scotland's University of St. Andrews say they have evidence that will disprove the "Snowball Earth" theory, the idea that 600 million years ago, the planet was completely encased in ice a kilometer thick. They say striations in rocks in Scotland show that even during the coldest period, the ocean water wasn't frozen, which means that some parts of the Earth always remained unfrozen.
* Other scientists disagree, and now they're having a Snowball fight.
RIDDLE ME THIS

This Is Nuts
The British company BioCote did swab tests on various public places around London and discovered that ATMs have many of the same disease-causing bacteria that are found on public toilet seats. Their survey found that Britons thought of public toilets as carrying the largest health risk and ATM keypads as being among the cleanest public objects. But they said that's ironic because tests confirmed that some ATM keypads were actually filthier than public toilets.
* And imagine how filthy the money is! No wonder people launder it!
HEALTH MOMENT
Spending lots of free time glued to the TV or computer screen can hurt your heart and shorten your life, no matter how much exercise you get when you’re not riding the couch, a new study suggests.
People who spent at least four hours per day watching TV, playing video games, or using a computer for fun were more than twice as likely as those who kept their recreational “screen time” under two hours to experience a heart attack, stroke, or other serious cardiovascular problem, the study found. Couch potatoes were also about 50% more likely to die of any cause during the four-year study.
The link between screen time and heart problems barely changed when the researchers factored in the amount of moderate-to-vigorous exercise the study participants did, suggesting that the health benefits of exercise don’t cancel out all that time in front of the tube or computer.
The study doesn’t prove that watching TV or playing computer games is inherently unhealthy. The real culprit may be what people tend to do during those activities: sit.
Why is sitting harmful? It’s not entirely clear, but animal studies have shown that prolonged sitting slows down the action of an enzyme that breaks down fats in the blood, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. When the enzyme activity slows, levels of those substances climb.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
One-time "Star Wars" sex symbol Carrie Fisher has signed to be the new spokesperson for Jenny Craig and has already lost 12 pounds. She said it hurt when "Star Wars" fans would say on the Internet that Carrie Fisher "used to be so hot and now she looks like Elton John." She said she'd gotten so fat, they had to "make a new alphabet for my bra size."
• If she put on the gold bikini now, there would be a disturbance in the Force!
And I leave you with this thought.
"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live."
