Why is american football called football?

You run with the ball and you tackle. Ive never even seen a goal being kicked in movies. I dont understand it. Shouldnt it be called tackle ball or something? No im not a brit, but i agree with them calling soccer football more than grid iron football, they at least use their feet. Im australian and our football has a random shaped ball like yours, but we actually use our feet and kick goals, thats the aim of the game, the point making acts.

Will putting an LCD TV a foot from a gas fireplace damage it? ?

Absolutely it can become damaged. For one, most HDTVS (although LCD has less of an issue with this than PLASMA) give off a lot of heat. The units have built in measures like fans and vents etc to help relieve itself of heat. Putting something that cost you roughly $2000 next to that big of a heat source is ASKING for trouble. DO NOT DO IT! You may not notice the effects of the added heat right away, but it will definately do damage over time, not only to the frame of the TV, but internal components as well. I used to install Home Theatres and our company would not install above fireplaces or anything less than 3 ft from that kind of source of heat. In very few cases (and I mean like 2-4) we had the customers sign a waiver stating that it was not a recommended area to install and anyd amages occuring due to excess heat, our company would not be held responsible for. Sure enough, I know that at least 2 of those had issues. I'm not aware of a website online that states this, but I'll keep my eyes peeled and be sure to get back to you if I find one.

How do I talk my husband into a tramp stamp like mine?

Tramp stamps are on their way out, its why people make fun of them, by calling them tramp stamps. Its something that 30 & 40 somethings did 10 to 20 yrs. ago. Your husband doesn't want to look like an aging teenage girl, and I don't blame him.
