Who Dat!”- The supporting cry for the New Orleans Saints is actually trademarked by a few San Antonio musicians. In 1983, Steve and Sal Monistere recorded their own version of “The Saints Go Marching In” with a “who dat” chant in the song and shortly thereafter trademarked both the “Who Dat!” And “Who Dat?” phrases.

It’s hard to image how any intellectual property news or trademark law can be part of an April Fool’s joke, but the anarcho-capitalists of Keene, NH were able to pull it off, if even for just an hour or two. Free Keene is a loosely organized group of self-titled anarchists, libertarians and “voluntaryists” who openly […]

Ask non-Floridians about their favorite location in Florida, and you’ll likely get a barrage of answers. You’ll probably hear Panama City, Jacksonville, Tampa, the Keys, Daytona Beach, Miami and of course – Orlando and Walt Disney World. We, of course, believe that the Melbourne area is the true gem of Florida. So for those of […]
The brand new meerkat exhibit is now open! This exhibit, called the Meerkat Hamlet, has lots of tunnels for these burrowing creatures. Meerkats live in underground warrens and have a pretty complex and active social life with each other. Kids of all ages love to watch the meerkats stand on their hind legs, scurry through their tunnels and play with each other. In fact, the kids can now crawl through their own tunnel and watch the meerkats as they move around underground. Following a name-the-meerkat contest, the alpha male is now known as Jasper, while the alpha female is known as Kiki. And the best news of all: Kiki is thought to be pregnant!

She alleges that a personal injury lawyer named John Haymond of Haymond Law has taken […]
Although the airport seems like the perfect place to hold an air show, there were some definite logistical and contractual issues. These include working with the airlines, specifically Delta Airlines and US Airways regarding passenger traffic. When the US Air Force Thunderbirds are in the sky, all commercial traffic must be stopped. Other concerns include traffic management, since historically tens of thousands of people flock to the show, security, insurance and funding.
Just a few days ago, a momma right whale and her young calf were seen off the shores of Melbourne Beach. During the few days they will be passing through this area, many people will flock to Melbourne beach and surrounding areas in the hopes of not only catching sight of this beautiful whale, but perhaps even getting a picture. This is a fun trip to take, but if you are one of the individuals on your way out to the beach with camera in hand, make sure to take note of the following:
The right whale population is only thought to number about 500 individuals. They are currently a protected, endangered species. Although they have historically lived to an average of 60 years, their lifespan has been drastically shortened due to being struck by boats, getting caught in fishing nets, and being targeted by hunters for their blubber.
In the winter, pregnant right whales swim from as far away as Canada to get to the warmer coastal waters off the Georgia and Florida coast. Here they give birth and nurse their young. In the early spring, they head back to their feeding areas which start in Maine and move northwards into Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. As they migrate back north, they may be seen in one location for a few days because they are very slow swimmers.
