One of the best and worst things about being a truck driver is the time.  Either you can take your time and do whatever you want, or you’re rushing to deliver a load across country and you’re stuffing your face in traffic because you don’t have time to stop to eat.  I’m not sure why […]

It might have been a necessary distraction.  It might have been a prank.  Either way, the handiwork of a burglar or burglars left two people in a Reno, Nevada, apartment gagging, coughing, and so ill they had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.  The culprit used in the attack was, get this, a […]

When she was a teenager, 36-year-old Aimee L. Sword gave a baby boy up for adoption.  Some 20 years later, she tracked the boy down on Facebook and got herself back into his life.  She also got herself into his pants.  That’s right, she slept with her own 16-year-old son, multiple times, and earned herself […]

During his lifetime, George Steinbrenner was one of the most frequently quoted, frequently interviewed, and equally mocked and revered figures in sports.  Long story short, he was the original superstar sports owner and a master manipulator of both the media and his players.  He also won like crazy.  Since purchasing the New York Yankees for […]

The King’s Troop, a ceremonial unit of horse-mounted soldiers who are part of the ceremonial Royal Horse Artillery, are one of the oldest existing units in the British military.  However, their new home base in Woolwich, SouthLondon, is one of the most cutting-edge facilities in the whole of the Ministry of Defense, because it embraces […]

Consumer Reports is the handbook for all gadgets. If you want a fair, even-handed review of anything, just turn to the pages of Consumer Reports and see what they have to say about it.  You can trust them to be honest to a fault, and unfortunately for Apple, that included their products.  Rather than being […]

If you’re a hypochondriac (and I shamefully admit to having these kind of tendencies, but for more reasonable ailments), then sometimes you’re just looking to shake things up.  Convincing yourself a headache is a brain tumor is pretty easy, but eventually won’t you get tired of going to your doctor with the same-old problems?  Well, […]

When one man makes a bet, he keeps it no matter what.  A Las Cruces, New Mexico man bet his friends that he’d set his prosthetic leg on fire if he lost a bet.  He lost the bet, and then proceeded to set himself on fire.  First the leg caught fire, then the flames spread […]

Despite his young age, William Jackson was a perfect bus driver in every respect but one.  The 19-year-old was polite, respectful, made all the stops on his route, and had an impeccable Washington Metro uniform.  The only problem was that Jackson wasn’t actually a bus driver, just someone impersonating a bus driver while behind the […]

I have to admit I’m hesitant to even blog about this, because it’s one of the most horrible crimes I’ve ever read about.  John Taylor Jr., a 21-year-old man in Oakland, California, was arrested by police after he allegedly threw his 18-month-old daughter in front of a moving car on Fifth Avenue in Oakland, California.  […]

Lance Armstrong had high hopes for performing yet another miracle comeback in the Tour de France.  Despite the punctured tire that put him behind in Stage Three, he hoped to make up time in the mountainous Stage Eight of the event.  Instead, Armstrong finds himself a staggering 11 minutes behind the race leader, Cadel Evans […]

All around the Southampton-area village of Portswood, England, things have been coming up missing.  At first it was a few little things, but lately it’s been a full-on torrent of disappearing gloves, missing socks, and stolen panties.  While most panty raids are fraternity pranks undertaken in college, that’s not the case in Portswood, where the […]

People of Taiwan, consider this your official warning.  Stay away from giant hamburgers and other huge sandwiches if you want to preserve your jaw functioning.  That was the announcement by Taiwan’s School of Dentistry of National Yang-Ming University professor Hsu Ming-lun, who points to two unnamed fast food franchises as the culprit behind Taiwan’s sudden […]

Are you looking for something to go with your meal of vending machine caviar and canned peanut butter sandwiches, but you want to buy it from a vending machine?  Bypass the Mr. Pibb and head straight for the vending machines.  If you’re shopping at a Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, location of grocery-store chain Giant, then take a […]
