44!
The Chicago Bulls invade the White House. They gave Obama his own jersey with the number 44.
Id also like to sorrow for the late announcers of Chicago, Norm Van Lier and Johnny Red Kerr. Rest in Peace and may your voices announce our lives forever.

HELLO, you Blowatlife
I was doing some browsing and came across an artist, Lawrence Yang. His painting touch the world of surrealism and have unique traits individually. Check out more of his stuff.
While browsing through his website, I found something I want to dress my Mac in, this!
There are more fun designs! These are my favorite. Look for yours here, Gela Skins
Which ones are your favorites?
Also, before I finish this post, one more thing to share with the bloggers, HELLO is a short animation by animator Jonathan Nix.

Why Cant We Tickle Ourselves?
Since we are talking about Ads, here you can watch all the Superbowl commercials and more of the best of the best in the biz.
Amusing Designs
On a more off note, Why Cant We Tickle Ourselves?
Aristotle puzzled over the great mystery of why it’s impossible to tickle oneself. Turns out it’s quite simple, really. Here’s a brief explanation by British neuroscientist Sarah Blakemore that appeared in Scientific American:
“The answer lies at the back of the brain in an area called the cerebellum, which is involved in monitoring movements. Our studies at University College London have shown that the cerebellum can predict sensations when your own movement causes them but not when someone else does. When you try to tickle yourself, the cerebellum predicts the sensation and this prediction is used to cancel the response of other brain areas to the tickle.
Two brain regions are involved in processing how tickling feels. The somatosensory cortex processes touch and the anterior cingulate cortex processes pleasant information. We found that both these regions are less active during self-tickling than they are during tickling performed by someone else, which helps to explains why it doesn’t feel tickly and pleasant when you tickle yourself. Further studies using robots showed that the presence of a small delay between your own movement and the resulting tickle can make the sensation feel tickly. Indeed, the longer the delay, the more tickly it feels.”
