Sometimes you learn the strangest things…

 

On our way into work today I made a reference to Michael Milken. Nikki had no clue who I was talking about. In fact, I’d probably be willing to be that very few visitors to this site now who Milken is. If you do – cool – if not, he was a stock/bond broker who, in the eighties, created the ‘junk bond’ and made MILLIONS from it. He subsequently was charged with a whole ton of securities violations and spent some time in a federal white-collar prison (read ‘country club’, not federal pound-you-in-ass prison). So anyway, I couldn’t remember the name of the broker he worked for so when I got to work I jumped on Google to find out. (turns out it was Drexal Burnham Lambert) The site I found this on was www.weht.net – self-described as “the online compendium of ‘what ever happened to…?’ and ‘where are they now?’”. This is a pretty cool site.

So anyway, whilst whittling away the minutes at work I was browsing through this site and found out something that I never knew: The one(or two)-hit-wonder group Men Without Hats, best known for Saftey Dance, is Canadian! I always thought they were Australian. So did Nikki. I’m not sure why though. The only thing I can think of that could possibly make me think that is because the group Men At Work is Australian – ergo all bands that start off with the word ‘Men’ followed by a preposition of sorts is Australian. Weird.

Anyhoo, if you want to kill half an hour or so head over to that site. They don’t have a lot of stars but there’s some pretty goods one in there.
