Happy Birthday Momofuku Ando (Inventor of Ramen Noodles)

Today, March 5^th marks the birthday of Taiwanese / Japanese businessman Momufuku Ando.

With Japan still suffering from a shortage of food in the post-war era, the Ministry of Health tried to encourage people to eat bread made from wheat flour that was supplied by the United States. Ando wondered why bread was recommended instead of noodles, which were more familiar to the Japanese. 

The Ministry's response was that noodle companies were too small and unstable to satisfy supply needs, so Ando decided to develop the production of noodles by himself. The experience convinced him that "Peace will come to the world when the people have enough to eat."

On August 25, 1958, at the age of 48, and after months of trial and error experimentation to perfect his flash-frying method, Ando marketed the first package of precooked instant noodles. 

Lindsay Lohan Banned from The Chateau Marmont For Life.

Its one thing to be labeled a drug addict, a thief, a drunk driver and a harlot but to be called out for not paying your bills is simply downright hilarious. You know we normally don’t like to comment on anything of this nature but we found it funny that Lindsay Lohan had been banned from the World Famous, Chateau Marmont, for unpaid bills totaling $46,350.04 (stemming from a 47 day stay in June – July.)

TMZ first broke the story stating that Lohan had been ordered to remove all of her items by August 1^st, after numerous attempts at reaching the famous for no real reason at all star went unreturned. A quick break down of the bill showed that Lohan, blew through 49 packs of cigarettes (at $14.00 a pack,) racked up $3,145.07 in mini bar charges, burned a $100.00 Chateau Candle and quite a few other hilarious charges were made that she basically walked away from like she was something special.

This should be a lesson to people who have that oh so special feeling of entitlement. Don’t rip off people who you obviously owe money too, it will catch up to you.
