The lyrics to Stairway to Heaven came to Robert Plant in a flash of inspiration when he and Jimmy Page were sitting by a fireplace with Page strumming the intro chords. Plant: "I was holding a pencil and paper, and for some reason I was in a very bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out the words, 'There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold/And she's buying a stairway to heaven.' I just sat there and looked at the words and then I almost leapt out of my seat."
This led to speculation that it was Satan who was moving the pencil. Saturday, July 28, 2012
Edutainment Tonight - Saturday Night Edition
The Bored hopes you're not alone, because we're going to creep you out.
The Bored thought this chick was Edutaining
The Bored studied Clara Meadmore because she's the world's oldest living virgin at 107 years old...
Alas, we're disappointed to report that it took dedication and good morals, nothing exciting.
"I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things. I grew up in an era where little girls were to be seen and not heard so I had to learn to stand up for myself and earn my own living ... Some men don't like that in a woman and before long I was too old to marry anyway. When I was a girl you only had sex with your husband - and I never married."
