It’s a revenge plot torn straight from the pages of a Dr. Phibes movie, or some sort of set piece that’ll be used in the next Saw picture, I know it!  When two brothers, Guo Gongwei and Guo Gongtian, wanted to get revenge on the leader of their village, a man identified only as song, the two brothers used what was available around them.   Given that they worked in the market in Guangzhou, China, they had access to a lot of short-tail pit vipers, which are used as food and medicine in Chinese folk cures.  So they bought up 500 snakes and let them loose near Song’s house, hoping that the snakes would get him.

They didn’t.

As we all know, snakes make terrible hitmen.  They’re more prone to massages than attacks, and they’re easily bribed with a pack or two of cigarettes.   If they can’t do any damage when you let them loose on a plane, how are they going to somehow get inside this guy’s house from the outside!  If you want to kill him, you have to somehow get your bucket of snakes inside his house!

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.
