Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.

TRIVIA— Last weeks winner was Lori Lucken. Lori knew that James Dean was killed in a car accident at age 24, on September 30, 1955. She can stop by and pick up her free Grand Theater movie pass from Meloni or Pam. This week’s trivia question is: If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have? Write your answer on a slip of paper along with your name and e-mail address and drop it off in the box located at the Bede Information Desk by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, December 22nd. We will draw a winner from the correct answers. The winner's name will appear in the January 10th Regal’s Report.

THE STRESS FREE ZONE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS - Thursday, December 16th from

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Conference Center 131. Get away from that final's stress. Watch a movie, play a game or have some free pop and candy.

TRY THIS IT IS KIND OF FUN - It appears that George Lucas uses a formula to create all those stupid names you hear in the Star Wars trilogy and Phantom Menace (Jar Binks, ObiWan, etc.). Well, I got a hold of the formula. To see what your Star Wars name is, follow these steps.

Your Star Wars First Name

  1. Take the first 3 letters of your last name.
  2. Add to that, the first 2 letters of your first name.

Your Star Wars Last Name

  1. Take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name.
  2. Add to that the first 3 letters of the town or city you were born in.

There you go! That's your Star Wars Name. Try it on your friends.

A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks almost instantly.
