How Could She Have Known

I wouldn't normally post this picture, but something struck me when I saw it. This chic probably never imagined in her wildest dreams that not only would her picture be smeared all over the internets, but a picture of her simulating sex with Tiger Woods would make her "famous".

8 Not-So-Famous Firsts

Ever wondered who received the first Social Security Card? Who was involved in the first wet T-shirt contest? Today’s your lucky day.

1. The First Hamburger Chain
McDonald’s, Burger King and that girl with the braids are better known, but they were all latecomers to the game. Walter Anderson and Billy Ingram partnered up to employ Henry Ford’s assembly line model in a restaurant setting.

Hallucinations can also be the product of particular mental disorders, sleep deprivation as well as psychosis.

Any additional information on other famous hallucinations are encouraged, as well as discussion on whether or not you believe that “being out of one’s mind” has any influence (good or bad) on an artist’s work.

Here are some other famous breast cancer survivors.

And here is Wikipedia's very extensive entry on the subject, including a list of many unfortunate victims of the disease, such as Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis, and Linda McCartney.
