Well, Floyd Landis has finally admitted to what we all know to be true.  Landis, the disgraced cyclist bets known for being the only person to have had his Tour De France title stripped of him for use of performance-enhancing drugs, spent several years fighting the allegations only to finally give up and admit that […]

Want to try something luxurious?  How about “$160-per-glass cocktail” levels of luxury?  In that case, I suggest you head to New York City’s Covet nightclub, where head mixologist Orson Salicetti will make you The Icarus, a $160 cocktail made from incredible rare Louis XIII cognac and Iranian saffron oil.  The cognac is $1600 a bottle; […]

When it comes to history’s greatest killer diseases, AIDS/HIV is practically a drop in the bucket.  Sure, it kills millions of people and is a horrible way to die and hopefully humans will eradicate AIDS soon, but in the 20th Century alone, smallpox killed 500 million people.  Fortunately, through a thorough and global vaccination effort, […]

When you run AdSense on your blog or surf blogs that feature AdSense (like this one), you quickly find out that there are a lot of really strange ads that pop up.  Sometimes, they advertise services for stuff I didn’t even know existed.  However, the ads I most commonly see throughout the web are ads […]

For years, the number of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, has grown.  Part of that might be because of improved testing.  Part of it might be because it’s a fad to have kids tested for whatever hot new disease of the moment is all over the news (which was ADHD for most […]

I can only imagine how awful it must be to live in a country like Saudi Arabia.  I mean, men and women who aren’t married or related can’t even walk together somewhere without the virtue cops from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice hassling them, and they still kill people […]

There’s not much better than a good old pizza, and if you’re going to make a pizza, you may as well go all out and make it in a traditional wood-burning pizza oven, like the one you see in the picture above.  There’s just something about a pizza cooked by fire that just makes it […]

Like anyone who has ever worked in the customer service industry, I could’ve written a book of complaints about the stupid things people do when they’re put in a position of power over another.  Granted, I was never a member of wait staff, but that’s because I know I’d have probably been fired for assaulting […]

One of the lessons I learned from Kevin Smith’s movie Clerks is that sometimes, you just have to let those hard-to-reach chips go.  In the movie, a customer memorably gets his hand stuck in a Pringles can, and Dante gives him this advice in the store as he leaves.  In reality, sometimes you have to […]

If there’s one thing you can say for drug smugglers, they’re creative.  They’ll stop at nothing to get their drugs into the United States, and they’re getting more and more inventive.  While patrolling off the coast of California, the Coast Guard cutter USS Dallas discovered a drug-smuggling submarine.  Technically, it’s only a semi-submersible, but the […]

Sandra Rubio is, in many ways, a model citizen.  Every month, she got her bill from CPS Energy.  Every month, she sent them a check for the amount owed.  Imagine her surprise when, one day, the company informs her that she owes them $8,000 for electrical usage and that the problem was their mistake, not […]

In the appropriately-named Honeymoon Ranges of Australia’s Northern Territories, there’s a little town called Tennant Creek.  It’s a town being held hostage, not by some fringe militants, but by one single animal.  There’s apparently a randy kangaroo with an eye for the ladies who keeps chasing after joggers! “There was no doubt about what he […]

Ingrid the pitbull has an incredible sad story.  When she was rescused by workers at the Little Shelter in Huntington, New York, the plucky little pup had 14 pounds of fluid in her abdomen.  She was tied to a fence and used as a bait dog to incite fighting pitbulls because she was too sweet […]

Fellas, are you on the prowl?  Will you be spending your Friday night looking for love out on the town?  Well, after you work out, get a nice hot shower in, and get yourself groomed and dressed, why not eat a few sticks of celery?  Celery makes a man more attractive to women, says Judy […]
