The Wardrobe to Narnia sits in Chicago?!

C. S. Lewis got an inspiration to write a book that would eventually lead us to The Chronicles of Narnia. Little did he know it would just start with a question about an old wardrobe in an upstairs room. Yes, you read right. During the Air-Raids of World War II, C. S. Lewis had several children stay with him. One of the children, a young girl asked him what lay behind a wardrobe in an upstairs room. This sparked the brilliant imagination of C. S. Lewis whom provided an amazing answer to that question. The little girl, now ten years older, must have found more than she could ever possibly imagine awaiting behind this magical wardrobe. Still today, you can see this magical wardrobe in the Wade Center of Chicago's Wheaton College. There is a sign posted warning visitors: "Enter at your own risk. The Wade Center assumes no responsibility for persons who disappear or who are lost in this wardrobe." I will have to see this the next time I am in Chicago! Perhaps that will be the last people see of me!!

Bush has an iPod?!

"Ever wondered what the most powerful man in the world listens to in his spare time? In a rare departure from formal media interviews, George Bush has revealed what is on his personal IPod. Andrew Wilson reports on the President's favorite tunes," Sky News reports.

President Bush gets out his 4G iPod and reads some of the artists contained within: The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Alan Jackson, The Archies, Aretha Franklin, "Dan McLean," upon which Bush was corrected "Don McLean" by Brit Hume, and more. Bush also has an iPod shuffle for bike riding. Bush also says U2's Bono "dropped his new iPod on me". "This is a clunker, compared to the newer version", Bush said. He didn't say if it was the iPod Nano or the 5G iPod…

You can watch the interview at Sky News.
