Actress Kim Hunter and writer Rod Serling on the set of Planet of the Apes. Many people don't know the Serling wrote the original screenplay for "Apes". Although Michael Wilson was brought in to rewrite the story which was based on Pierre Boulle's original novel the finished product still had "Serling" written all over it. The film's "Twilight Zone- esque" twists, especially the ending, are a tell-tale sign of this.   "Maybe the Law Giver here has some ideas for some episodes of 'Night Gallery' ... I'm all tapped out!"

 From the Southern Forest Heritage Museum: The sawmill of the Long Leaf Mill is one of the oldest complete sawmills in the nation. The building was constructed in 1910 for the Crowell & Spencer Lumber Company (1898-1941), remodeled in 1917 and 1936 by the Crowell Long Leaf Lumber Company (1941-1955), and renovated in the mid-1950s . By February 1969, the last logs were cut on the long side for the Crowell Lumber Industries (1955-1969). This would be the last time any lumber passed through the sawmill at the Long Leaf Mill. The mill was closed officially in June that year due to saw timber being unavailable. In the sawmill is all the standard operating equipment needed to convert logs into lumber. It is here where workers were trained to operate the latest in mill industrial equipment. Lumber came out to the green chain where it was sorted by grade and size and then moved to the dry kiln or stored in the open. From there, it was moved to the planer mill for conversion into marke...

 On Saturday night UCLA proved that the PAC-12 is as good as the SEC by defeating LSU in a commanding way. Before the two teams faced off in the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, CA) most experts believed that a Pac-12 offensive line would be dominated by a powerful SEC defensive front. Despite that, it was the UCLA offense that pushed the LSU defense around all night long pilling up 210 rushing yards lead by Zach Charbonnet's 11 carries for 117 yards and 1 touchdown and Brittain Brown's 17 carries for 96 yards and 1 touchdown. Conversely LSU couldn't get a running game going against UCLA's defense managing only 46 yards on 25 rushing attempts. This forced the Tigers to rely on the arm of quarterback Max Johnson and an out of this world performance by receiver Kayshon Boutte who's three touchdowns kept LSU from being routed by the Bruins. It was a sight to see when UCLA ball carriers broke away from LSU tacklers for huge gains that resulted in touchdowns. It was an outstandi...

"It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, Man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the *third* most intelligent. The second most intelligent creatures were of course dolphins who, curiously enough, had long known of the impending destruction of the planet earth. They had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger, but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits. So they eventually decided they would leave earth by their own means. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backward somersault through a hoop while whistling the star-spangled banner, but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish."   - The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (Book)(Stephen Fry) - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the...
