Roger Menees has always had a low singing voice, but how low can he go?  As it turns out, the former gospel singer from Anna, Illinois can to really low, breaking the Guinness World Record for “lowest note produced by a human voice.”  Menees shook the floor with a rump rattling low F-sharp, which came in at 0.393 hertz!  That’s twice as low as the previous record of 0.797 hertz!  Menees set the record at a February 11 recording session at a Hampton Inn in Carbondale, but is finally getting his proper reward.

“I’ve been listening for years to people sing and I’ve never heard another bass singer sing as low as I thought I was,” Menees said after receiving his reward.  “To achieve it, I really appreciate it.”  A longtime singer and tour bus driver, Menees has been encouraged by other artists since 1997, but kept putting it off.  Good things come to those who wait, and the man waited until the time was right before knocking the woofers off the table.

Of course, Roger says he can do better, and will do better if his record is broken anytime soon.

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.
