The iPhone 4G must have had a lot of prerelease testing, given the many prototypes that were leaked to various press groups or just found out randomly, but apparently those testers were the 90 percent of the population that favors their right hand.  As for lefties, they apparently can’t use the iPhone because their hand […]

Golf is a game of avoiding problems.  Sand traps, rough, bunkers, trees, lakes and streams, cart paths, and sometimes mountain lions are all present on the course to serve as a detriment to your playing ability.  Well, okay, not every course has mountain lions, just Valley View Golf Club in Bozeman, Montana, where golfers teeing […]

It’s one of the most wonderful things in the world.  On a hot summer day, there’s nothing like hitting the beach.  One man headed to Tampa, Florida, to soak up the sun and have a couple of drinks while lazing about in a raft.  However, after a few drinks, thing got strange and the man […]

It’s one of the classic schemes for getting revenge.  Throughout history, people have been writing up vengeful fliers, but never before have they had the tools to so effectively defame someone’s character like they do now.  Thanks to Photoshop, you can pretty much cheat and put anyone’s face anywhere you want, which is what 37-year-old […]

June 22 was the 52nd birthday of actor, writer, director, and all-around B-movie horror icon Bruce Campbell.  Campbell was the star of the steampunk western comedy/action TV series The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., played Autolycus the king of thieves on Hercules:  The Legendary Journeys and Xena:  Warrior Princess, but he’ll forever be known as […]

[…]

In a survey of some of the western world’s biggest nations, the United States health care system as a whole comes off looking pretty badly.  Aside from being patient-centric and effective, US health care is last or near-last in every major category of note, including quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives.  However, there’s one […]

Two Horsham, Australia men have found themselves in a heap of trouble after testing their pain tolerance.  The two men, both 34, were having drinks on Sunday when they decided to test out whether or not an air rifle would hurt.  So, they got the air rifle, and took turns shooting one another with it. […]

So what does it take to stop a naked woman?  Well, apparently, if you’re the West Valley Police Department, it takes two car chases, a totaled police cruiser, an extended foot pursuit, and a Taser gun.  Apparently, this naked female, about 5’5, 120-120 pounds, with reddish-brown hair, is actually some kind of sophisticated cyborg from […]

When it comes to cooking, there is an eternal debate:  butter or margarine?  If given the choice, I say butter, as it has a better taste and cooks differently than the lower-fat, higher health option.  But if something is made with margarine, I don’t get violent about it, unlike a pair of Washington state siblings.

If there’s one thing you can say about police constable Glen Campbell (not the musician), it’s that he knows how to drink.  On November 6, 2009, he was arrested with a staggering 0.395 blood alcohol level after collapsing in a parking lot at a supermarket.  (The legal limit in the United States is 0.08.)  While […]

It’s one of the oldest marketing gimmicks in history.  If you want a kid to buy something, you cram a cheap plastic toy inside and just wait while units fly off the shelves.  Despite the fact this has been happening basically forever, organizations like the Center For Science in the Public Interest, AKA the Food […]

The Naked Cowboy, a busker named Robert John Burck who roams around Times Square strumming a guitar in nothing but a cowboy hat and a pair of white briefs, is a New York institution.  Everyone knows him, even if not everyone loves him.  He’s become so successful that he’s even spawned an imitator, The Naked […]

After so many hears of healthy eating being forced down the pudgy gullet of the American diner, the health backlash has started in earnest.  The KFC Double Down was only the beginning, as Massachusetts-based restaurant chain Friendly’s has taken the hamburger to the extreme, thanks to an unholy union with the grilled cheese.  The resulting […]
