Dana Hill’s 8-year-old daughter was thrilled when she got a DVD full of school photos from her teacher at Homosassa, Florida’s Rock Crusher Elementary School.  (As it happens, that’s the coolest school name I’ve ever heard.)  She sat down to watch the picture DVD with her 12-year-old brother and lo and behold, it wasn’t school […]

There’s any number of things that you can do to help watch out for heart disease.  There are preventative foods you can eat, like chocolate and peanuts, or there’s calcium monitoring to watch for your risk of heart attack.  However, when it comes to preventing heart disease, can it be as simple as brushing your […]

Julia Gnuse never set out to become the world’s most tattooed woman, she just ended up that way.  Ms. Gnuse, also called The Illustrated Woman, inked and needled her way into a Guinness World Record after having 95% of her body covered up with tattoos.  She did this to cover up scarring from a medical […]

I think we’ve all gone to work not feeling our best.  For some people, missing a day of work is impossible, either because of how they’re wired personally, or how the job is structured.  I’m not one of those people, but some of you probably are.  For various reasons, researchers at Drinkaware say that every […]

There’s just something about those express flights that just sends people into a deep, deep sleep.  First we had a guy oversleep for 90 minutes after his flight landed, and now a woman flying from Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia on a United Express flight was allowed to sleep on the plane […]

When all the privacy concerns about Facebook started to pop up, like everyone else I got a bit worried.  After all, my profile on Facebook has been friends only since the first day I made it.  Even though I’ve abandoned Facebook and have not been on it regularly in over a year, I still didn’t […]

There are a lot of weird medical conditions that can happen to the human body.  You’ve seen a lot of medical oddities, like the Tree Man of Java, right here at this very website.  However, you’ve never seen anything like the infection in Mark Gasson’s body.  The University of Reading researcher has become the first […]

The Egnatia highway, one of the busiest highways in Greece, was closed down for two hours.  The road wasn’t closed by accidents (although this particular event caused three accidents), but rather by a horde of frogs that were crossing the highway in search of food.  The traffic was stopped near the Greek town of Langadas, […]

When New York City financed a new billion-dollar stadium in The Meadowlands, New Jersey for the New York Giants and New York Jets, all involved had their eyes on one particular prize.  You don’t build a stadium that big or expensive for an AFC or NFC title game, you build it for a Super Bowl. […]

It was actually a really good idea.  To advertise adult businesses in the area, several groups sponsored a strippermobile.  Basically, it was an advertised van that drove around town, featuring a woman or women dancing sexily behind glass.  Kind of a mobile adult botique and exotic dancer depot!  Unfortunately for those businesses, their advertising van […]

Pac-Man recently had a special day.  The video game icon was celebrating the 30th anniversary of the launch of his iconic video game in Japan, and on May 21, Google made Pac-Man a special logo that contained a playable version of the video game.  Pretty cool, right?  Well, I thought so, and apparently so did […]

The world’s most dangerous phone number doesn’t belong to the Amityville Horror house, or even belong to anyone in America.  The supposedly-cursed phone number was issued by Mobitel, a Bulgarian phone company.  However, after 3 deaths in 10 years, all of which happened under suspicious murder or murder-like circumstances, Mobitel has actually suspended the phone […]

When I first heard about the Dell Streak, I figured that had something to do with a naked run through corporate headquarters from Michael Dell’s office to the city hall of Round Rock, Texas.  However, the Streak has nothing to do with nakedness and everything to do with an Android-based tablet computer called the Dell […]

Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities announced the finding of some 57 ancient tombs over the weekend, most of which contain ornately-painted wooden sarcophagi with mummies inside.  When I describe these tombs as ancient, I mean ancient.  The oldest of the discovered tombs dates from about 2750 BC, which is roughly 4760 years ago.  The discoveries […]
