Seven years ago, my commencement speaker was Charlayne Hunter-Gault, a CNN Johannesburg correspondent and the first African-American woman to graduate from the University of Georgia. She did not invent the iPod.

Her remarks did not make the mental_floss list of 7 Memorable Commencement Addresses. But Steve Jobs, my sister’s speaker at Stanford in 2005, was prominently featured.

In a sign that her spokesdog career could be taking off, Bailey spent several hours last week on the recently redesigned mentalfloss.com. CNN will be re-running Matt Soniak’s “Why Do We Yawn?” exposé on their site, and there’s a good chance Bailey will reprise her role as Yawning Dog #1 for a much wider audience. Fingers and paws are crossed.
