“Hey, have you seen a box of eyes around here anywhere?”

They say the eyes are the window to the soul.  If so, two men have left a big pile of windows at a Conoco gas station near Kansas City, Missouri.  On Wednesday night, while stopped at the station, two men discarded a medical cooler with a bloody bag inside near the trash can between the fuel pumps.  Turns out that inside the cooler was discarded eyes.  That’s right, two men left a box full of discarded eyeballs at a gas station.  I know it’s easy to forget stuff when you stop for gas, but that’s getting  a little crazy, isn’t it?

“I’ve been at the Conoco for five years. By far this is the strangest thing that has ever happened,” station employee Latishia McClure said.  “It was freaky, walking out there to that box … and opening it up and seeing those eyes.“

The box abandoned was marked Keep Refrigerated, and that’s why employees called the police when they finally noticed it.  The gas station in the Kansas City suburb of Northland is near an eye bank, but the eye bank has not reported or noticed a theft of a crate of eyeballs.  Ditto local hospitals on their stock of eyes.  Officials are trying to determine if the eyeballs are human, animal, or other.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

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.
