I love Ghostbusters.  Actually, that’s not strong enough.  I LOVE Ghostbusters.  I think it’s one of the best movies ever made, thanks to the special effects (awesome at the time), the humor, the action, and the pitch-perfect cast of gifted comedy actors.  Now, thanks to Ironic Sans’ interactive Google Maps Guide to Ghostbusters, if I ever get to Manhattan I can take a tour of all those awesome locations that color one of my favorite movies.

If there was an official Ghostbusters tour, I’d be ALL over that.  No question about it.  I’ve always wanted to go see the big city, and if I ever do go, this tour is going to be on my list.  At the very least, I have to go see the firehouse!  Can you believe I’ve never been to New York?  I may have missed out on my chance to catch a show at CBGB like I always wanted to, but I could definitely engage in a little tour around the New York City of Ghostbusters!  While I’m there, I’ll head across the river and take a Kevin Smith tour of New Jersey, too!

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
