Have you always wanted to try a delicious insect snack without having to buy it yourself?  Are you looking to go to Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey, Great Britain any time soon?  Well, if you’re in that very small demographic, you’re in luck.  This Friday, Chessington will be giving away free edible insect pic ‘n’ mix, according to park general manager David Smith.  Hooray, free chocolate-covered ants!

The idea is to have new snack offerings at an Asian-themed area of the park opening in March.  Given the popularity of watching people eat bugs on television, it’s only natural that someone would want to try that at home, and the reasoning is these bugs are clean, safe, and properly prepared, unlike bugs you just eat randomly off the ground.  That said, I think I’ll pass on crickets that taste like bacon.  They may taste like bacon, but it’s still a cricket.

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.
