        I think you'd get it if you walked underneath it.

        Please love yourself.

          So the Beatles ended at the Polynesian Resort at Disneyworld

          Today in 1974, while vacationing with Julian at Walt Disney World's Polynesian Village Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, May Pang photographed John adding his signature to those of George, Paul and Ringo on a mass of documents dissolving The Beatles' partnership.

          10 days earlier, after Ringo had already signed in the UK, John had failed to seal the deal with Paul and George in New York because "the stars aren't right".

          Now, at the urging of an Apple lawyer, John was ready.

          “Take out your camera,” he told May before calling his own attorney, Harold Seider, to go over some final points.

          "When John hung up the phone, he looked wistfully out the window," May would recall. "I could almost see him replaying the entire Beatles experience in his mind."

          Eventually, he picked up the pen - and, in Goons parlance, The Beatles were "deaded".

                    Ten examples of prohibited baby names reportedly include King, Queen, Jesus Christ, III, Santa Claus, Majesty, Adolf Hitler, Messiah, the symbol @ and 1069.

                    I went to high school with a guy named King. He set the state scoring record in basketball, so it worked for him.

                          It would certainly elicit a gut level response, one way or another. Much like a roller coaster.

                            To prove himself, Fitzpatrick left the bar, stole an airplane from a New Jersey airfield at 3am, flew without lights or radio completely intoxicated, and landed the airplane in the street in front of the bar.
