Remember Three Dog Night, the rock band that had a string of hits in the late ’60s and early ’70s? They had three lead singers and the oddest name this side of Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Wikipedia explains the origin of the name:
…vocalist Danny Hutton’s then-girlfriend June Fairchild suggested the name after reading a magazine article about indigenous Australians, in which it was explained that on cold nights they would customarily sleep in a hole in the ground whilst embracing a dingo, a native species of wild dog. On colder nights they would sleep with two dogs and if the night was freezing, it was a “three dog night”.
Well, sad to say, but the eco-wackos of the world want to take us back to the technological level of the Australian aboriginies.
Check out the recommendation provided by Living Greener, an Australian government website:
To reduce the energy you use while watching TV, take another tip from grandma and share the warmth. Snuggle up under a rug, snuggle with your family or cuddle your favourite pet.
And if it’s really, really cold, cuddle with Al Gore. That big, pudgy pile of suet could keep your entire family toasty.
