As a kid, I was always told that playing video games are bad for my eyes.  Too much staring at the TV, or the computer screen, or whatever the source of my electronic stimulation was.  While my eyes are fine, a Chinese man by the name of Xu suffered the ultimate penalty for his video […]

Google has a lot of products, but this isn’t one of them.  This actually comes from Vietnam, where you’d think nobody would hear of Google thanks to communist leadership and the censored Internet prevalent in most dictatorships.  However, you’d be wrong, because someone heard of it enough to launch Google toilet paper.  That’s probably the […]

There’s nothing I love more than a good, creepy spider story.  Well, love is a strong word; more like nothing I find more perversely frigthening than a good creepy spider, and with the discovery of Cerbalus aravensis by the University of Haifa-Oranim in Israel, well, I have a good creepy spider.  This is more than […]

In a teary-eyed address to Congress, a broken Mark McGwire said he wasn’t there to talk about the past.  However, now he’s willing to open up about his years as a steroid user, his tainted home runs, and how he turned to drugs to repair his broken body during the course of a Major League […]

Named for the Punjabi village of Nakodari, where Glaswegian restaurateur Johnnie Ginda says the dish was invented, it’s one of the most unusual Valentine’s Day dishes I’ve ever seen.  It’s a combination of two potent aphrodisiacs, guaranteed to get your significant other’s pulse racing.  It’ll also probably get their nose running, their forehead sweating, and […]

I know some people who won’t lick the flaps of envelopes for fear of germs.  It seems a little crazy to me, but they’re out there, and given the rise of MRSA and other nasty treatment-resistant diseases and infections, those nuts seem slightly less nutty.  So, it begs the question, given how often the average […]

Egyptian archaeologists have made a startling discovery.  A series of tombs, over 4000 years old, are believed to be the burial site for workers who died during the building of the Great Pyramids at Giza.   The interesting fact of the matter is that these tombs, in the shadows of the pyramids themselves, reveal that […]

The show needed a simple 1.5 in the ratings to be successful.  Anything higher than a 1.8 was to be considered a wild success for the experiment that is The Jay Leno Show.  The show was averaging a 1.98, meaning that the show was successful and raking in the cash for NBC.  However, that didn’t […]

Want to see some of the most secret, elusive, and forbidden places on Earth?  Well, we all do, but we can’t.  That’s why they’re secret, elusive, and forbidden.  If we could, it’d be just another tourist trap.  Still, we can look at the outsides and read about some of the world’s most secure locations thanks […]

It has to be tough being the President of the United States.  If there’s ever a damned if you do, damned if you don’t job, it must be that.  It’s been a tough year all around, and President Barack Obama’s approval ratings are sinking on a daily basis.   He’s got a lot of people […]

There’s just something about Switzerland that makes people want to speed through it as fast as possible.  First, you had the guy who racked up 15 traffic violations in 11 minutes, and now you’ve got the guy who tore through the Canton of St. Gallen at 137 miles an hour.   The man’s love of […]

When Texas quarterback Colt McCoy went down with an injured right shoulder with 10:45 left in the first quarter, the game was pretty much over for the Longhorns.  After all, they were squaring off against the number one football team in the land, the Alabama Crimson Tide, whose quick defenders made the Southeastern Conference miserable […]

A little stone house in Portugal is making a lot of waves.  It’s not that it’s a house made out of stone; there are a lot of stone houses throughout Europe.  It’s that this home in the mountainous Fafe area isn’t just little stones cobbled together; it’s more like a single solid stone.  A Casa […]
