Green is in, kids.  Everything is going green, and thanks to the hard work of Elon Musk (an awesome villain name) and Tesla Motors, even the supercar you’ll never be able to afford unless you win the lottery is getting a greener outlook (and we ain’t talking about the paint).  Porsche has unveiled the Porsche 918, an electric/gas hybrid sports car that retails for a robust $600,000.

Just in case the $100,000 Tesla Roadster and the $40,000 Chevy Volt were too cheap for you, now you’ve got a REALLY obnoxious option that you can rub in people’s faces!  There’s finally something that’s both more expensive than your neighbor’s car AND more ecologically friendly than your neighbor’s car!  Win-win, baby!

The Porsche will be powered by the current power plant of the Spyder, a 500-horsepower V8.  On top of that, there are TWO electric motors that pump out an additional 218 horsepower combined!  There are four modes, from full electric to full-on race mode, and the car promises to get an estimated 78 miles per gallon (I assume that’s not in race mode) while maintaining a top speed of just under 200 miles per hour.  Not bad, Porsche.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

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.
