Gye Gardner was on his way into his truck when he had a little accident.  He hit his head on the boom and broke the earpiece on his Bluetooth headset.  Thinking nothing of it, he slapped a little super glue on the broken bit of plastic and went on about his business.  When he got a call from his boss, he thought nothing of slipping his earpiece back in and taking the call.  Gye says, “I drove from Casuarina to Rapid Creek when I realised I had done something kinda stupid.”  Turns out he’d glued the earpiece into his ear!

As we’ve seen before, glue and skin do not mix.  Thankfully, Gye didn’t follow his first instinct when it came to removing the glued-in earpiece, which was to gouge it out with a pocket knife.  He says, “I realised I didn’t want to see myself going to a doctor to put my ear back on after I chopped it off. So I used a spoon.”  That was probably for the best.  Given how his luck was going that day, between breaking his earpiece and following that up with gluing it into his ear, he would’ve cut his ear off.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
