TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Greetings Infomaniacs,

I found an article on Yahoo! Shine featuring the most bizarre bans that occurred in the year 2011. I have included some of them in today's issue.

Speaking of bizarre (okay, just funny), check out today's video clip to see some of our PulseTV staff and their bloopers during filming of the Deal of the Day videos. Man, these video clips are really making me miss the days of working in the office!

Enjoy!
Melissa

RANDOM TIDBITS
Schools districts from Florida to Pennsylvania banned students from wearing baggy pants. In Orlando an actual "baggy pants" law suspended students who "exposed underwear or body parts" with a little loose hanging fabric.

A Maryland hospital banned baby photos in the first five minutes after a child is delivered. The hospital explained that family photographers were causing risky distractions, though those in opposition to the policy believed it was put in place to avoid malpractice lawsuits.

A Chicago public school banned kids from bringing food from home, forcing them to eat the cafeteria lunches or nothing at all. The school says it's healthier for kids but not all parents agree. They're also not in agreement on the price-point, considering home-made leftovers are a lot less money than the daily cafeteria fee.

New Zealand courts decided to crack down on parents' rights, banning the name Lucifer from the baby books because of it's satanic association.

At a San Jose high school, cheerleaders are required to buy a micro-mini uniform if they make the squad. But they're also required to take it off when they go to class, because it's way too short.

Hospitals in Massachusetts, New York, Arizona, Texas and California ban elective C-sections and inductions before 39 weeks gestation due to serious health risks.

I am served at a table,
In gatherings of two or four;
Served small, white and round.
You'll love some,
And that's part of the fun.
