I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and cried like a baby pretty much the entire movie.

I heard once that Ikea is a non-profit or has 501c3 elements to its biz. Is that true?

The parent for all IKEA companies—the operator of 207 of the 235 worldwide IKEA stores—is Ingka Holding, a private Dutch-registered company. Ingka Holding, in turn, belongs entirely to the Stichting Ingka Foundation.

Stichting Ingka Foundation is a non-profit foundation. Wikipedia hasn't caught up to the ins and outs of Stichting Ingka foundation yet...

This is a Dutch-registered, tax-exempt, non-profit-making legal entity, which was given the shares of (IKEA founder) Ingvar Kamprad in 1982.A five-person executive committee, chaired by Kamprad, runs the foundation.

There is no min grantmaking requirmt as U.S. foundations operate under, so despite receiving at least a half-billion dollars per yr dividends,it doesn't appear to be issuing more than a couple of million per yr in grants,The Economist found.

It started out as a joke on a TV sit com, but yes - some people actually do celebrate it. Kind of a non-denominational pseudo-Christmas, I guess you could say.

Anyone know what cartoon or tv show the term "wowsers!" came from? Scooby Doo?

Thanks Hawk! If somethin else comes up you'll make a group of confused people happy. We know "zoinks!" :)
nope! scooby doo was "jinkies!". Inspector Gadget's catch phrase was "wowsers". urban dictionary & wiki agree.
