I have no doubt you’ve gotten the emails from some well-meaning relative or friend.  Given the amount of cool stuff that happens in the night sky, like the Perseid meteor showers and giant solar flares, it seems like something that might be possible.  The orbits of the planets aren’t static, and every two years Mars […]

For years, Cubans over the age of 54 received rations of the necessities of life.  Chickpeas, potatoes, and sugar rations were cut out earlier this year.  Now, to add insult to injury, elderly Cubans no longer receive their four packs of free cigarettes every month!  How are old people supposed to smoke now?! Granted, four […]

It’s long been rumored, or feared, depending on your mindset.  However, the stuff of your fevered dreams is now reality, as Hello Kitty Online has been launched in America.  Hello Kitty Online, a brand new MMOG from Sanrio Digital and Typhoon Games, is said to be the first game to merge social networking with the […]

Democrat Christopher Young is well-known to politicos in Providence, Rhode Island.  Whenever the mayorship is up for grabs, there’s Chris in the fray of hopefuls.  He’s running as one of five candidates for Providence mayor this year.  However, he’s never pulled out the ultimate campaign stunt:  a marriage proposal during a live, televised mayoral debate. […]

Gwilym Hughes was a movie buff.  That’s probably the first thing about the man that comes to mind when his name is mentioned, if only because he holds the Guinness World Record for being the man who has watched the most movies.  Since he saw his first movie, King Solomon’s Mines, in 1953, the man […]

I’ve written before about what a heavy sleeper I am.  Given the chance, I can sleep through any number of annoying sounds, from the television to conversations, in just about any situation.  It’s great, in that I always get rest when I need it, but it’s bad, because I have a lot of trouble getting […]

John-Theodore:Anderson, AKA John Theodore Anderson, must be off his rocker.  First of all, he’s suing not one, but three attorneys at once:  Douglas Shumway, Benjamin Schramm, and Michael Van.  If that’s not enough to make you doubt his mental state, there’s also the fact that he’s suing the three men for $38 quadrillion dollars.  Yes, […]

Paris Hilton is one of the biggest targets in the world, if only because she’s one of the richest women in the world.  The billionaire heiress to the Hilton Hotels fortune, Paris routinely gets her phone hacked, her information stolen, and has people following her wherever she goes.  However, they usually don’t follow her into […]

One of the most interesting new developments in recent times is the idea of pet insurance.  Every time you take a pet into your home, you’re taking on several thousand dollars’ worth of vet bills that come along with pet ownership, so it kind of makes sense that some company would put out health insurance […]

At age 79, Ron Hoskins has been keeping bees as a living for most of his life.  In 1992, the British bee population was devastated by the introduction of a bee-killing parasitic mite called the varroa mite.  Ron lost thousands of bees; Britian lost millions.  He vowed, then and there, he’d figure out a way […]

There was something unusual about a tombstone passing through the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.  For one, it was a tombstone being shipped by air.  Secondly, it was in honor of Delroy Senior, no first name (or last name).  Thirdly, he was late of Jamaica and England.  As if that wasn’t suspicious […]

Last year about this time, at the height of the swine flu fear epidemic, my workplace decided to take steps to ensure safety.  First of all, every department was given alcohol wipes and bottles of hand sanitizer.  Secondly, we were told to disinfect our desks, keyboards, etc. with the alcohol wipes and use the hand […]

On the surface, it seems as though it’s a simple misunderstanding, but a Lakewood, California, man named Al Stults Jr. has been banned from his local Safeway for a year over what he says was a misconstrued comment about chicken breasts.  He maintains that when he said, “I like them large,” he wasn’t talking about […]
