Chuck Norris Fact of the Day
“Chuck Norris’ alarm clock plays Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ every morning at 7 am. Its not because he likes the song. It infuriates him, because Chuck Norris does indeed know that they started that fire, and they will pay.”
Its a Togo’s Two-4-Tuesday. Hear two songs from the same artisit and be the first to call us, and YOU could walk away with a free lunch combo from Togo’s in Marquette and Harvey.

Chuck Norris Fact of the Day
“When Chuck Norris goes on Oprah he doesn’t jump on the couch like some yahoos. He throws it into the audience, roundhouse kicks Oprah in the face, and than works out on a Total Gym while the surviving members on the audience watch in amazement.”

David Bailey plays for us live in studio!
Bailey is performing tonight at Reynolds Recital Hall at NMU to benefit the U.P. Brain Tumor Center at 7pm.
After being diagnosed with a brain tumor himself, David was determined to beat the cancer. He did, and now follows his passion for music quite successfully.
You’d think that in the 3 years since Judd Apatow hit it big with his heartwarmingly raunchy The 40 Year Old Virgin, he’d start to lose some steam. But with the Apatow produced Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he’s proved that he’s got more than enough material to keep going.

Chuck Norris FotD:
“Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse-kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn’t stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.”

It being Earth Day, we decided to post some tips from How Stuff Works that you can use in your daily life to help save our planet.
1. Pay attention to how you use water. The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while you’re brushing your teeth, you’re doing something good. Got a leaky toilet? You might be wasting 200 gallons of water a day [Source: EPA]. Try drinking tap water instead of bottled water, so you aren’t wasting all that packaging as well. Wash your clothes in cold water when you can.
2. Leave your car at home. If you can stay off the road just two days a week, you’ll reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1,590 pounds per year [Source: EPA]. Combine your errands — hit the post office, grocery store and shoe repair place in one trip. It will save you gas and time.
3. Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health. If you can’t walk or bike, use mass transit or carpool. Every car not on the road makes a difference.
If you must drink bottled water, recycle the bottle.
4. Recycle.You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in a different bin. If you’re trying to choose between two products, pick the one with the least packaging. If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper waste for a year, it would be the equivalent of taking almost 400 cars off the road [Source: EPA].
5. Compost. Think about how much trash you make in a year. Reducing the amount of solid waste you produce in a year means taking up less space in landfills, so your tax dollars can work somewhere else. Plus, compost makes a great natural fertilizer. Composting is easier than you think.
