The Super Bowl---lesser known facts and trivia.

$$$ Just as many people tune in to see the commercials and the half-time show, as those who are interested in the game.

$$$ The game will start at 6:18 pm, which means the pre-game show will start at 10 am.

$$$ The game is annually watched by an estimated 20 billion people around the world, including our military on the Armed Services Network, and to the Taliban and Al Qaeda on Al Jazeera. As the game will be televised around 2 am Middle East time, all bombing missions, surges and suicidal and car bombings have been re-scheduled for the early afternoon so everyone can get some sleep before the game.

$$$ There's a better than even chance the game will really suck!!

$$$ The Who will undoubtedly play their anti- establishment, anti-politician anthem "We Won't Get Fooled Again" , after which they'll receive their 10 million dollars for performing about 15 minutes. This money will have been largely supplied by giant corporations.

$$$ Many people will laugh at the "funny" commercials, while just as many will stare at each other in dumbfounded disbelief.

$$$ In all probability, one or more of the officials will make a horrendous call that will determine the outcome of the game.

$$$ We will be introduced to new and innovative camera coverage of the game, including "Instant Flash-Forward"; a tiny camera attached to the Centers butts, so we can watch some of the action from that vantage point; and provocative See-Through Technology as the camera spotlights the cheerleaders.

$$$ Unless we are fans of either team, most of us will not be able to answer the question "Who won the Super Bowl?" in more than three weeks from now.
