Good Afternoon,

I'm very excited about today's edition of Mouthpiece. It's because it features one of my favorite musicians and one of my favorite movie characters. Check out 'What's On the Web?' and you'll learn something about the "Thin White Duke," Mr. David Bowie and the greatest professorial adventurer of all-time, Indiana Jones. And then there's other stuff too.

First, see what are considered the Top Ten Essential David Bowie Albums. My top ten list would be very different.

Next, discover 10 Crazy-Ass Adventures You Never Knew Indiana Jones Went On. I'm a huge Indy Jones fan and I was very surprised by the list.

And there's some quotes and an interesting story about a passport tattoo that I thought was rather interesting.

So enjoy and learn a little something about two extremely entertaining characters.

Mouthing Off,
Carl

[m] What's On the Web?
The Top Ten Essential David Bowie Albums
David Bowie is turning 65th birthday this month, and to celebrate this special occasion let's see what NME.COM considers his 10 greatest works. Personally, I think number 4 should have been in the number 1 spot, but to each his own.

*-- British man has passport tattooed on back --*
LONDON - A British man had his passport tattooed on his back and even used the image as an ID to take money out of the bank, he said.

Richard Ashton, 27, told The Sun he had his passport inked on his back while backpacking in Australia in 2006.

"I wanted something to remember my holiday by, but also wanted something patriotic," he said. "My girlfriend at the time thought I was a bit daft, but eventually she found it hilarious. That seems to be the general reaction."

The London personal trainer said when he ran out of cash on his trip to Australia, he took off his shirt at a bank to use as ID.

"The cashier gave me a strange look. She typed in my name and details after reading my tattoo and allowed me $50."

Ashton, who was born in Sydney and holds dual citizenship, said he keeps his tattoo covered up most of the time.

"I don't walk around with my top off."

British officials said Ashton couldn't use the tattoo as ID to go abroad or enter Britain.
