The self-proclaimed King of All Media has written successful books, been a dominant radio talk show host, starred in a hit movie, and has indulged in multiple television projects over the years, but his latest work will prove to be his biggest work.  Piers Morgan is focusing on his show and leaving the smash-hit talent […]

Critter invasions are not completely uncommon. Sure if you live in Alaska or Canada you might end up with a bear trying to snack on your weiner dog. Or if you happen to be at a Wal-Mart in Utah, thousands of confused migrating birds might mistakenly crash land in the parking lot next to your […]

Edinburg, Texas, is in the heart of nowhere.  Located in South Texas, about 50 miles from Brownsville, the area is very rural in nature and is a haven for hunters and target shooters looking to hone their skills in private.  It is a pair of target shooters that have caused a middle school in the […]

The Large Hadron Collider is a superstar in the physics world, if only because it’s one of the few physics tools that have crossed over into mainstream consciousness.  Basically everyone is aware of the LHC, thanks to the comic books and pop-up children’s books and the whole “it’s going to destroy the world!” furor that […]

As it turns out, everyone wants to get their hands on a moon rock, some space dust, or some other kind of astronomy-related garbage.  Grandma’s trying to sell stolen moon rocks at Denny’s, and governors are stealing them from the state they serve.  Everybody wants a little taste of that moon glory, and it’s becoming […]

It was a routine traffic stop on the Virginia Tech campus.  Campus police officer Deriek W. Crouse, 39 and a former deputy, prison guard, and US military veteran, had stopped someone in the Coliseum parking lot when things turned violent just after noon yesterday.  Shots were fired.  At the end of it all, two people were […]
