“Wheel of Fortune” contestant Robert Santoli recently crushed his competitors and won puzzle after puzzle to a $76,000 prize (including two cruises).
He managed to solve a puzzle early on with only one letter, which is exceedingly rare in the game show. Knowing only the “D” at the end and an ampersand between two words, he correctly guessed “Port & Starboard.”
Santoli told TapInto.net that he actually memorized a set of potential clues before playing, knowing the show would have a nautical theme. And of course, some luck was involved.
A Minnesota man who went to the University of Dayton recently returned a book that was overdue by 49 years.
The man was a freshman when he checked out History of the Crusades in 1967. He has technically been fined two cents each day for the last 49 years. Luckily, the school has politely waived his $350 fine.
The guy returned the book after finding it in an old box filled with his things from college. He mailed the book to the campus, along with a note:
Please accept my apologies for the absence of the enclosed book History of the Crusades. I apparently checked it out when I was a freshman student and somehow it got misplaced all these years.
Coldplay singer, Chris Martin, has opened up about his split from actress, Gwyneth Paltrow.
He says, “It’s a divorce but it’s a weird one. It’s funny. I don’t think about that word very often: ‘divorce.’ I don’t see it that way. I see it more like you meet someone, you have some time together and things just move through. I’ve lived a lot of life since then.”
Chris says now that they’ve been “uncoupled” for a while, he’s doing better these days. But he admits he’s had a tough time getting over his ex.
He said, “I still wake up down a lot of days. But now I feel like I’ve been given the tools to turn it around. You can come at it very aggressively and blame and blame. Or you can put yourself in the garage, so to speak. Take yourself apart and clean off the bits. Reassemble.”
Coldplay’s manager Phil Harvey confirmed that for about a year Chris was “in pain and struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Phil says, “We were all worried about him—the band, his family. When someone’s really, really low and on their own a lot, as a friend, your mind goes to the worst-case scenario. That period didn’t last for ever, but there was a time when we were all regularly checking in on him, just trying to make sure he wasn’t on his own.”
As for the “breakdown” of his marriage, Chris said, “I wouldn’t use the word ‘breakdown.’ This was more a realization about trying to grow up, basically. If you can’t open yourself up, you can’t appreciate the wonder inside. So, you can be with someone very wonderful, but because of your own issues you cannot let that be celebrated in the right way.”
Henry Cavill posted a video on Instagram on Wednesday proving that just like his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justin character, Clark Kent/Superman, he can walk around Times Square without anyone knowing he is Superman.
“Dear Doubter, The glasses are good enough. Regards, Superman,” he wrote in the caption.
