It’s amazing to think that Ghostbusters has been around for 30 years as of this year.  Ghostbusters seems both fresh and timeless, depending on how you look at it.  It’s also an iconic comedy classic, full of classic characters and classic lines, equal parts 80’s wit and 1950’s-style charm.  Given the cottage industry of Ghostbusters […]

The wrist is the latest battleground for the technologically-forward end user.  You’ve got your tablet, your smartphone, your computer, and even your eyeglasses are connected to the Internet and are more capable than ever, but what about your wrist?  There are already some smartwatches available, but it won’t really matter until Apple’s got its entry […]

The Virgin Mary is one of the most iconic ideas in the world of art.  A mother’s love for her child, be it adult or divine infant, was one of the most inspiring images in the art world and it has inspired literally thousands of paintings, drawings, sculptures, statues, and stains on furniture.  However, one […]

Historically, the Atlanta Braves have been a model franchise.  Aside from a lack of post-season success, the Braves have been a winning ball club, a good ambassador to the South for baseball, and have generally been a pretty classy organization, at least as far as sports teams with Native American mascots can be.  However, one […]

When it comes to digitally editing photos, less is usually more.  Unless you’re trying to make deliberately weird pictures, the more you mess with a picture the worse it becomes.  That’s why Photoshop has become such a bane to the existence of teenagers ever.  Not only does it promote illogical standards of beauty, it also […]

There aren’t many men on campus at Wellesley College.  That’s probably because it’s an all-women school.  However, there’s one guy on campus these days, and he’s tromping around the grounds in nothing more than a pair of tighty whitey underwear with his eyes closed.  Wellesley College has a statue of a guy in his underwear […]

You don’t often see conjoined animals live successfully in the wild.  Conjoined twins have a lot of health concerns (and legal concerns), from birth on, and in the unforgiving natural world, any kind of deformity can end up being a real detriment.  You’ll see the occasional domesticated pig with two faces or the occasional calf […]

There are a lot of bad behaviors that can be overlooked during a memorial service.  There’s a big difference between the occasional uninvited guest and someone who shows up to steal food.  However, when it’s a huge event like the memorial service of Nelson Mandela and you’re one of the hundreds of dignitaries showing up […]

If this seems like a blast from the past, that’s because it is.  The new-look $100 bill was supposed to be released in 2010, but problems with unwanted creasing delayed the bill.  In 2011, when the bill was supposed to be released, there were problems with the ink smearing.  The old saying is more money […]

When it comes to smuggling drugs, there are good ways and there are bad ways.  If you’re clever enough to build your own drug-smuggling submarine, then you are a clever person indeed and I wish you great success in your new drug business.  If you’re like most drug smugglers and you have to report to […]

The rumors continue to leak out about the iPhone 5S.  Just when you thought the color wheel had been rolled away, it looks like there might be a further surprise between now and the expected September 10 launch of the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.  That surprise?  A new color!  That’s right, the rumored […]

Jaguars are really great-looking cars.  After all, it’s literally a car fit for a queen, so it’s no surprise American royalty like Dick Van Dyke would drive a Jaguar.  Unfortunately for the comedy legend, Jaguars aren’t always the most reliable of machine.  From the electrical systems problems that plagued them throughout the 60’s, Jags are […]

Think of President George Bush.  No, not 43, 41.  George Herbert Walker Bush.  What do you think of?  An older guy, gray hair, talking about how he hates Brussels sprouts or how we should read his lips about a raise in taxes.  Well, George H. W. Bush has a brand new look, and it’s equal […]

When you’re putting something out for public perusal, you should always be careful not to have too many spelling errors.  One or two here or there isn’t a deal-breaker, but having a lot of spelling errors is pretty damaging to your reputation.  That goes double if you’re a part of the public school system, because […]

At 7’2, in his younger days, Peter Mayhew was not a man to be messed with, and not just because the former hospital orderly is the guy who played Chewbacca in the original Star Wars trilogy.  That was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.  These days, Mayhew leads a quiet life, […]
