Okay, I admit: I don't get the joke. Panthers' Newton suffers back fractures in crash. Sounds pretty straightforward to me... 'Splain please?

Dualstow: Thanks, I thought it was pretty clever. But I am easily amused.
MachineGhost: Right you are. I became eligible to go on the dole and draw Social Security last month. Truman was president when I was born.

Huey Newton was before my time, but I like history. I'm probably older than you, though, MG. I was 7 when I went to the theater to watch Star Wars with my family. I am about as old as Unix, or at least the name UNICS.

I got the headline but for the benefit of younger generations the photo below might help you recall your only

left ear.
