Those British sure do love their tea.  Anywhere they are, when it’s tea time, then it’s time to have a nice hot cup of tea, with the emphasis being on hot.  With any hot beverage, you have to be careful because you might burn yourself.  That’s exactly what happened on a Ryanair flight, when a 56-year-old British woman burned herself so badly the plane had to make an emergency landing so she could get medical treatment.

The woman, on a Ryanair flight from Liverpool to Poznan, Poland, was hurt to the point that she needed medical treatment, so the flight she was on made an emergency landing Bremen, Germany, took the woman off the plane, and got her some medical treatment.  Of course, since they have a schedule to keep, they didn’t wait for her to get bandaged up and flew on without her.  She did eventually get to Poland, but she ended up having to take a train to finish her journey.

All because she needed her caffeine.

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.
