Jimmy James (remarking about Cher's longevity) once said that "After a nuclear holocaust, all that will be left are cockroaches and Cher".

I was bored beyond belief in Reno one time and I went to see Wayne Newton..................your idea sounds a lot better. Cher has better costumes.

So..........a bit of a change of tack.

Here's a trivia question just begging for an answer:

1. Which popular band from the late 1960s and early 1970s took their name from an Australian Aboriginal custom of sleeping with one's pets for warmth when the weather got chilly?

Deep Purple
Three Dog Night
The Youngbloods
Mungo Jerry

Dont ask me how i know this i just did must be all the junk in my head surfacing.Heres a small explaination that i found from the net;
When ranchers or cowboys were out on the range they would have to sleep with their dogs to keep warm. A one dog night was a night when he had to share body heat with one dog, two dog night was two dogs and a three dog night was an extremely cold night where he would have to share body heat with three dogs. “how cold was it on your trip?” “It was a three dog night”.BBBBRRR How many dogs have i slept with?Now that would be telling!
