Apparently, Gallagher is still a thing, and still out there working the comedy clubs at age 65, well after falling from the heights of fame he hit in the 80’s.  For all I know, he’s still going out, telling jokes, and smashing things with a hammer, and bless him for not changing, because that’s awesome. […]

Calvin Johnson is one of the best wide receivers in football history, and now he’s getting paid like it.  Calvin Johnson is a physical marvel, thanks to his incredible speed and the fact that he’s 6’4 and can leap out of the stadium.  His unique combination of size, speed, and skills have translated to NFL […]

For 244 years, when you needed to learn about a topic, there’s only one place you went to look.  You headed to the bookshelf and you researched in the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.  Well, like buggy whips and ivory piano keys, the encyclopedia is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.  The Encyclopaedia Brittanica will end publication […]

Bear Grylls is the kind of man who can survive anything.  He doesn’t need CDC tips to survive a zombie outbreak, and his sense of disgust is secondary only to his sense of survival.  There’s a reason he comes out on top when it’s Man Versus Wild, after all.  Now, Bear Grylls will  be facing […]

He’s one of the most reviled men in United States history, a deeply unpopular president, and the national butt of jokes for the majority of his life (first after his defeat by Kennedy, and later by Watergate).  Still, Richard Nixon had a softer side, and there was no one he was closer to than his […]

Put down that raw hamburger, Scott Shover!  The health risks of red meat are pretty obvious by now.  Red meat is higher in fat and cholesterol, may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease, and is generally pretty terrible for you.  That’s why it tastes to delicious.  Well, scientists have determined just how much going over that 2 […]

Three weeks, 68 teams, 67 games, one national champion.  One loss and you’re done.  It doesn’t matter your seed, your talent level, how well you played in the regular season, or anything else.  Play and you win; lose and your dreams are crushed.  It’s madness… March Madness.  The 2012 NCAA Tournament bracket was finalized last […]

When it comes to changing food recipes, both Coke and Pepsi are very resistant to change.  Coca-Cola guards their secret formula like it is the nuclear football, while Pepsi is designing its own salt to preserve the taste of its drinks.  Coke learned their lesson the hard way with New Coke, and Pepsi took the […]

Lionel Messi is the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year, so it’s not terribly surprising that he’d be a good soccer player, yet here we are discussing Messi’s greatness.  Why?  Well, Messi scored five goals in a 7-1 drubbing of Bayer Leverkusen in yesterday’s Champions League game.  It wasn’t as if he was squaring […]

It seems like not that long ago, Earth was facing down some major solar energy activity from the very ball of plasma that sustains life on our planet.  In fact, it was just at the end of January when some massive solar flares impacted Earth’s magnetic field, supercharging the aurora borealis, forcing planes to adjust […]

Peyton Manning has spent a staggering 14 seasons for the Indianapolis Colts.  Once upon a time, he was the top NFL draft pick for the Colts, and he came out of Tennessee to become one of the best quarterbacks of all time.  He’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer, he’s the reason the RCA Dome was […]

Since the debut of the Chevrolet Volt, car aficionados have been keen on the plug-in hybrid vehicle and the possibilities of a gas/electric hybrid car for commuters and city drivers.  In spite of some technical issues and general nervousness that comes along with any new technology, the Volt has been a critical darling for Chevy and its […]

Joshua Thompson is a movie fanatic.  Regularly, he makes the trek to the AMC theater in Livonia, Michigan, to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster and scarf down a few thousand calories in snack food.  To save money, Thompson brought in snacks from outside of the theater, until his local movie palace made a chance in […]

Not too far from where I live, tornadoes and terrible storms ripped through the community.  In Pekin and Henryville, Indiana, a pair of tornadoes destroyed the communities.  New Pekin was hit by an EF-3 and Henryville was hit by an EF-4 on the Fujita scale, and both communities were pretty much wiped off the map […]
