One of my friends sent this to me from The Onion- a funny newsletter/paper thing that she gets online. Its sort of mean but really funny:

Bernadette Peters Comes Up Twice In One Day
COLUMBUS, OH—In an incident observers are calling "kinda weird," mid-level celebrity Bernadette Peters' name came up twice Monday in separate conversations had by Columbus resident Chris Loew. "At, like, noon, I forget what brought it up, but me and this guy I work with were talking about that one part in The Jerk where Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters sing that song," Loew, a 22-year-old pizza-delivery driver, told reporters. "Then, like five hours later, me and my roommate Dave were vegging out, watching Animaniacs, and he was like, 'Did you know that Bernadette Peters does the voice for Rita?' It was so freaky." Adding significantly to the freakiness, Loew said, was a narrowly averted triple-referencing of Peters at approximately 11:30 p.m.: "Me, Jeff, and Josh were gonna watch [the Peters film] Silent Movie, but we wound up playing Sega instead. That would have been insane." Pop-culture statisticians estimate the odds of a single-day triple-Peters reference at 4,750,000 to 1.

The Onion is quite hysterical. Everything is completely made up and is all tougue-in-cheek humor. The best one was about the wedding where the bride was the only one who was happy and everyone else, I mean everyone, hated her and were totally miserable.
It is a tad on the adult side sometimes so those of you who are under 18, read with caution.

Yeah, The Onion is hilarious. But you know, I was thinking, with the people on this board, the chances of a day *without* a triple-Peters reference are probably 4,750,000 to 1.

Very astute observation, Karen. LOL
