How much cocaine was around in 1988?

How much cocaine was around in 1988? This video answers that question I think. I had no idea shows like this existed back in the day, but as Best Roof Talk Ever suggested, it might be due for a comeback.

J. Edgar Hoover gave Shirley Temple a fountain pen that emitted tear gas

Shirley Temple–Hollywood’s most famous child star–could not be protected from such real-life intrusions as kidnap and extortion attempts, death threats and an attempted seduction by a Hollywood producer when she was only 12 years old. The threats weren’t reported at the time, she said, for fear that they would stimulate more threats.

The FBI was called in numerous times to investigate these death and extortion threats against her. She and J Edgar Hoover became friends through it all. In 1949, J. Edgar Hoover gave Shirley Temple a strange FBI souvenir– a fountain pen that emitted tear gas.

In an ironic twist of fate, diners in one of the ill-fated cruise ship’s restaurants were listening to Céline Dion’s hit single My Heart Will Go On – the theme tune to James Cameron’s epic starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet – when it struck rocks on Friday night.

How is this song not banned on all cruise lines? That’s like playing the movie “Alive” on an airplane.
