The next E3 event won’t be until June, but that hasn’t stopped people from talking about it.  Adding fuel to the E3 fire is the news that Nintendo will be doing something pretty radical in Los Angeles, California, during the Electronic Entertainment Expo.  Nintendo will be debuting a playable version of Project Cafe, AKA Wii […]

Cats are pretty tough creatures.  Cats scoff at 19 hours in the freezer AND 30 minutes trapped in a car’s engine, so no amount of hot or cold can really phase the tenacious feline species.  That said, cats have a long-time nemesis in the form of water.  Cats generally don’t like water.  However, one cat apparently doesn’t […]

If you thought food lawsuits occurred only over restaurant themes, then think again.  Two vineyards are battling in court over the right to be Mommy’s new little helper and to reflect that idea on their label.  Clos Lachance Wines, a California-based vineyard that makes Mommyjuice wine, is suing the New Jersey distributor behind Mommy’s Time Out wine […]

Hope you didn’t burn yourself out yesterday on 4/20, because today is an even more important holiday.  That’s right, Brosephs and Brosephines, it’s National High Five Day!  In case you didn’t know, the third Thursday in April has been designated, either informally or formally, as National High Five Day (or NH5D) since April 18, 2002, […]

When it comes to toll-free numbers, PrimeTel Communications is cornering the market.  This relatively young company has cornered the market on toll-free phone numbers, and they’re redirecting those numbers to a pornographic partner in crime.  PrimeTel Communications is a corporate sibling of National A-1 Advertising, a phone sex company.  The two companies have the same […]

Well, it’s that day again.  This afternoon, right at 4:20, millions of marijuana smokers and drug enthusiasts will sneak off and light up a joint in celebration.  After all, 4:20 is generally the time associated with pot smoking, and there’s no day bigger for pot smokers than April 20, which has become an international celebration […]

One of the worst things about working for a living is figuring out a way to kill time with limited access to the Internet.  I mean, you can use the web, but good luck getting to any of your favorite online game websites.  Of course, you could sit on WordsWithFriends on your iPhone all day, […]

If you need a hammer or nails, or want to pick up some paint, I suggest you head on down to Lowe’s.  The home improvement superstore is a great place to pick up lots of necessary home repair goodies, and going to Lowe’s just might save your life.  Don’t believe me?  Ask dozens of Lowe’s […]

Good news, fellow fans of Neil Gaiman.  The British fantasy author’s much-beloved classic work, American Gods, looks as through it is going to become a television series.  Playtone, AKA Tom Hanks’ development company, has optioned American Gods and is looking to make it a series on HBO.  Not a mini-series, a full-fledged, long-running, multi-episode TV […]

The hardest part of counting calories is monitoring portions.  Believe me, I know, because I’ve spent years losing weight and trying to adjust my eating habits, but I still tend to eat way too much during the process of “cleaning my plate.”  Old habits die hard.  Maybe, it’s time I find a little extra help […]

When a woman from Shanghai, China, identified as Miss Chen wanted to feed her family, she picked up a big slab of pork from her local butcher, then took it home for the night.  Intending to cook it the next day, she just left the meat out on her table and went to bed.  When […]

It’s the first inning of a meaningless early-season baseball game between the Texas Rangers and the Detroit Tigers.  All-world outfielder and star Josh Hamilton, who dragged the Rangers to the World Series last year, is on third.  After the third-baseman, Brandon Inge, and catcher Victor Martinez go pursue a pop foul, Hamilton has a clear […]

When it comes to military maneuvers, it’s all about support.  Foot soldiers form the basis of the military’s power, but without air support, artillery, and tanks, they’re not going to properly control an environment.  The modern military works on many layers, but the difficulty in communication can make close air support a dangerous proposition as […]

Mitt Romney, former Governor of the state of Massachussetts and longtime potential Presidential candidate (both last time and this time), is taking the first few tentative steps on what is expected to be a run for the position of President of the United States.  That’s right Obama, Mitt Romney is running for President.  He leaked […]
