]Two A-Holes The Two A-Holes are a pair of recurring characters on Saturday Night Live. They are portrayed by Jason Sudeikis and Kristin Wiig. Their first appearance was December 17, 2005, with host Jack Black. Have to admit, I've never seen this sketch. Don't think I want to.

]TNO From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia TNO can stand for: Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research) Trans-Neptunian Object Trans-National Organization Tamarindo Airport (IATA: TNO, ICAO: MRTM) in Tamarindo, Costa Rica TNO Entertainment, a record label

My favorite of the TNO's is Trans-Neptunian Object. If there was a Trans-Neptunian Object available on eBay, I'd place a bid on it, although it would probably be out of my price range.

]White Hall State Historic Site is a fourteen-acre park in Madison County, Kentucky. Its major feature is White Hall, the home of Kentucky legislator Cassius Marcellus Clay. The site became part of the park system in 1968. So, I checked, and Muhammed Ali's full original name was Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.. Apparently the legilator was also a fervernt abolitionist and the Louisville-born boxer's father was named in his honor, as he was as well.

Interesting!. I'm currently reading Team of Rivals, Doris Kearns Goodwin's book about Abraham Lincoln, and there have been several references to Cassius Clay. Each time I'd see that, I'd think, well, that was in 1860, before he changed his name to Muhammad Ali.

I just started Team of Rivals myself. My random link is a soccer team from the Bahamas

Each time I'd see that, I'd think, well, that was in 1860, before he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. It's somewhat ironic, because when confronted on his religious anti-war stance, the newly re-named Ali refused to respond to his name being read out as Cassius Clay, declaring, as was the instruction of the Nation of Islam, that he was rejecting the name given to his slave ancestors by the white man.

Hmmm. I wonder if Ali's slave ancestors were ever owned by a member of the original Cassius Clay's family?

Team of Rivals has been sitting on a shelf in my bedroom for 2 months... I'll get to it when the semester is over i suppose, but it looks long and I've got a whole pile of stuff i want to get around to reading.
