The internet sleuths are at it again and have discovered that based on the understood birthday of George Jetson, counting backward, he must have been conceived at some point this week. George Jetson is the patriarch of the fictional Jetson family from the hit cartoon The Jetsons which first aired in 1962. Though the show only originally aired for less than a year, reruns and a 1985 reboot allowed the Jetson family's fame to span generations. The show was said to be set 100 years in the future, in the year 2062, and according to Wikipedia, George Jetson's birthday was August 22, 2022. Of course, there is no way to know for sure when this fictional conception would have taken place or to even know for certain when George Jetson's birthday was exactly. On another blog site, warnerbroscartoons.fandom.com, a post said George's birthday was about a month earlier than the Wikipedia estimate and fell at the end of July 2022.

TV networks leave gaps between channels, and the spectrum - which is similar to that used for 4G - can be used to deliver broadband access. Microsoft said it would have 12 projects up and running in 12 states in the next year. It plans to invest in …

REAL MADRID are reportedly confident Antonio Rudiger will be lining up for them next season after he allegedly snubbed an extension at Chelsea. The German international defender, 28, will become a free agent at Stamford Bridge in June. A host of Europe’s big guns are chasing the star while the Blues are keen for him to remain in West London. However, Goal states that Rudiger ‘is not interested’ in staying at the Premier League club. And they claim ‘ Madrid are optimistic about their chances’ of signing him and ‘are prioritising a move’ for the Chelsea man in order to bolster their backline. Thomas Tuchel has even intervened in order to try and persuade Rudiger to commit his future to Chelsea. But this latest report is adamant that ‘the mission appears impossible’ despite their latest contract offer being worth around £7million-a-year to the former Roma and Stuttgart ace. He is aware that he is paid less than a number of his teammates and he is allegedly …

Director Joel Souza, who was standing behind Hutchins, was injured. Who is responsible for weapons safety on film sets?
