Quoted: It all began because, about 60 years ago, Bernice Gordon found television a bore, except for Milton Berle.
So instead of watching a box with black-and-white pictures, she started creating her own black-and-white boxes: crossword puzzles.
More than a thousand published puzzles later, Gordon, age 95, is still at it, and the honors keep rolling in.

Quoted: Before we get to the interview, I want to put in a plug for Roy Leban’s daily word puzzle over at www.puzzazz.com. Every day there’s a new challenge; sometimes quick, sometimes not. I got a heads up on the special April-appropriate puzzle coming out on Sunday. Check it out.

Pretty funny.
Quoted: Contacted by Politico, Diane McNulty, a New York Times spokeswoman, said, “The answer is obvious for anyone who does crosswords. It is because ‘Obama’ is a five-letter name that alternates vowels and consonants. It’s got three vowels out of five letters, starting and ending in vowels. So it is much more crossword-friendly than ‘McCain,’ which is a harder word to put in a crossword. If McCain’s name was Obama, then his name would have been used many more times in crosswords.”

click to playVery funny. Saw this a while back (I was viewer number 43, and it's now up to 120,264) but forgot to fave it. It's funny that some of the commenters think the video is serious.
