They regulated the signs to be mounted two or three feet above the ground. Another group (the predecessor to the MUTCD) had similar, but not identical ideas. The 1935 MUTCD regulation defined that stop signs should be octagonal, but with red or black letters on a yellow background. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) stop sign was altered eight times between 1935 and 1971, generally regarding mounting height or reflectorization. However, the most significant change was the 1954 alteration to white on red color." http://www.myparkingsign.com/MPS/article_history-of-stop-sign.asp “In 1924 the stop sign was changed to black on yellow by the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety (NCSHS), which was the prevailing color until 1954.

It's obvious the National Anthem is playing, as all the fans are standing and the Whalers, and what appears to be the Indianapolis Racers, are standing at their respective blue lines. What's curious to me is, usually when the National Anthem (both teams based in USA, so I assume the SSB is the tune of choice) is played, no matter American or Canadian, the teams face the respective country's flag while the song is in progress. But in this case the Whalers and the refs are facing one direction and the Racers are facing the other. Unless the flag is directly over center ice (which I guess it could be) someone has their backs to the flag. Or maybe that was just the "WHA" way of doing things back then.

He was showing off his shoes to Dave, and Dave asked if they were waterproof. Hahaha. Also, Nate said that Nike, Warner Bros., and DC Comics made the shoes for him. Now, I know his special shoes are called Kryptonates...which is a spoof on kryptonite, which is from Superman, which is owned by WB or something like that. But, why would WB, and DC help in the making of that shoe? Nate Robinson dunked over Biff tonight on the Letterman show tonight wearing the same green uni he did for the dunk contest.

As a bonus, Prince is hitting right handed as well!
