It’s one of the weirdest things I’ve ever heard, and no doubt it was even weirder to the poor police officers who had to investigate it.  Apparently, a man in a leprechaun costume was cavorting in a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store parking lot, dancing around, making finger-gun hand gestures at people, and possibly making obscene […]

If you’re Steve Jobs, you’re happy that the iPhone has sold so many millions of units.  However, all is not roses and caviar in Cupertino, California, as Apple finds itself under a deluge of class-action lawsuits over the flawed engineering in the iPhone 4’s antenna.  Not only are people crying discrimination, they’re also doing something […]

America is out of the World Cup, but that doesn’t mean the vuvuzela news is ending.  Oh no, you can’t get away from them that easily.  In Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, a man has lost an eye after a group of teenagers, two 18-year-olds and a 16-year-old beat him up and tried to take his vuvuzela.  Now […]

Twilight smashed box office records yet again this week, thanks to a staggering $30-million-dollar take based on the midnight screenings of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on Tuesday.  It’s been said, many times and many ways, but Twilight is big business.  However, have you ever really taken a good look at the psychology behind the dichotomy […]

Employees on a U.S. Airways flight from Atlanta, Georgia to North Carolina got a shock when, suddenly, a GWAR song broke out in the middle of the flight.  No, nobody started singing about Techno Destructo, but maggots started to fall like rain from an overhead luggage storage bin as the plane was taking off.  Thoroughly […]

Are you a girl between ages 8 and 13 who is deathly afraid of spiders?  Do you like sitting on your tuffet?  Are you willing to undergo something almost akin to torture in exchange for three therapy and curds and whey?  If so, then the University of Graz has an arrangement for you.  They’re looking […]

The operating system won’t be released for another two years (at least), but Microsoft is already hard at work on making Windows 8 a significantly better user experience than even Windows 7 has been.  At least, that’s according to a top-secret slide-show from Microsoft to vendors that’s emerged on an Italian Windows fan website.  There […]

During his life, 47-year-old Albert Repin must have been a great engineer.  According to his parents, with whom he lived in Moscow, Russia, he was always building something.  Unfortunately for his friends and loved ones, the engineer’s last project would prove to be both his most inventive and his most fatal, as Repin built a […]

Larry King Live has been on the air for as long as I can remember, and for most of my life, Larry King’s particular brand of television interview has been on the air.  The show’s been going on for 25 years, which means Larry’s gone through a whole lot of pairs of suspenders in that […]

If you’re a member of China’s People’s Liberation Army, good luck finding love.  China already has a shortage of women, and in the male-centric military world, it’s even harder to date.  However, thanks to the military’s need for secrecy and the fact that loose lips sink ships, online dating is banned by the Chinese military.  […]

It’s grandfathers gone wild in Salem, Oregon!  That’s where police say an 81-year-old man, Manuel Meza, chased another man around a taco stand with a machete during a disagreement.  Meza claims that the other man stole his drill, which apparently drove the older man nuts enough to take the law into his own, err, bladed […]

While I don’t believe it was at the same auction as where Michael Jackson’s glove sold for $190,000, it was another great auction from Julien Auctions.  It was also in Las Vegas, this time at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.  The unusual keepsake this time wasn’t even something worn by a star, just a […]
