today's puzzle:

Why on earth is a jukebox called a jukebox - what exactly is a "juke"
anyway and what connection does/did jukes ever have with black plastic
discs that played music..... 

Yeah - ok - there are better things to worry about but this has been
annoying me for several days now!


cheers
