It’s one of the everyday experiences that we all have to get used to dealing with.  The great equalizer is waiting in line.  At the grocery store, at the bank, or just about anywhere you go, you’re gonna be standing around in a long trail with a bunch of other people.  It’s just part of […]

A farmer in Primorye, Russia, had a problem.  Intruders were getting onto his land and robbing him blind!  Given that calling the cops only helps you after the stuff is stolen, he took a page out of the Russian army’s playbook and came up with an inventive way to stop the thieves:  explosives!  That’s right, […]

I mentioned briefly during an article about Air France’s extra ticket policy that Southwest Airlines also has a policy concerning two tickets for heavier customers.  Little did filmmaker Kevin Smith know that he’d find out the hard way how militant Southwest was about this.  Smith, the mind behind Clerks, Dogma, and all the other Jay […]

James Cameron’s Avatar, the most successful movie of all time, has also provoked a lot of controversy.  Most successful things do.  One of the biggest knocks on the movie is that it’s very derivative of other source material.  By now everyone’s seen the Avatar comparison to Pocahontas, so I won’t bother to go into that.  […]

While images of Jesus aren’t very useful for smuggling drugs these days, there’s one thing the guy can still do, and that’s shame criminals.  When suspect Gabriel Cabello burst into Marian Chadwick’s arts and crafts store, he had no idea what he was in for.  Rather than cowering at the sight of Cabello’s gun (visible […]

I think we’ve all been annoyed at the bicyclist dodging game that you have to do when someone decides to ride his or her bike through a busy street, but that doesn’t mean you should attempt to run them off the road and scream at them about how you’re going to kill them while hurling […]

Nobody really knows what happened to make Westley Strellis freak out, but freak out he did.  The 29-year-old man from Lilburn, Georgia, was walking through his local Wal-Mart when he had an idea.  “I know,” he said to himself.  “I’ll pick up a metal bat and smash 29 televisions with it!  Won’t that be fun!?” […]

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are kicking off later today, and all the usual suspect countries are represented:  Canada, the United States, Sweden, Ethiopia… wait, Ethiopia?  But, they don’t even have any snow!  Their lone Olympian, Robel Teklemariam, came to the United States at age 9 when his mother’s job got her transferred to the […]

Police are investigating the hows, whys, and whens of an unusual attack that took place the other day.  It seems an unnamed man called police around 2 in the morning to report an assault in Juneau, Alaska’s Marine Park.  When cops arrived, they discovered that someone had bitten the man’s nose off.  Police recovered the […]

Officials in Amsterdam were horrified on Wednesday by the discovery of 20,000 roses in their shipment of cocaine recently… wait, what?  Oh, sorry.  Officials in Amsterdam were horrified to discover 20 pounds of cocaine hidden in a shipment of 20,000 roses from Bogota, Colombia, on Wednesday.  Is that better?   The Netherlands is the world’s […]
