It wasn’t weird flavors like breast milk and fish and chips, just plain old Edy’s Ice Cream that stopped traffic in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  It wasn’t something the ice cream did, it was something the truck carrying the ice cream did.  A semi truck spilled a staggering 40,000 pounds of ice cream on Interstate 69 during rush hour on Friday, blocking two southbound lanes on the biggest traveling day of the year.  Quick, start passing out spoons!

The spill took an incredible 6 hours to clean up, and it’s unknown how many of the cartons of delicious ice cream went home with the people assigned to remove the spill from the road.  From the looks of the picture above, a lot of those cartons survived the accident that caused the spill; according to police, a driver was pulling up the on-ramp when he took a turn too sharply and the truck overturned.

The driver was treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital.  As for the clean-up crew, the toll this spill will take on their bodies won’t be known until the dental bills come in from eating too much ice cream.

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.
