In February, everyone was talking about Daniel, specifically, the viral video dubbed Damn Daniel by its fans.  Teenager Joshua Holz put together a video of him talking to his friend Daniel Lara about his shoes, typically solid-white Vans sneakers, and with every repetition of “Damn, Daniel!” the video got hotter and hotter.  It also had […]

Cheerleaders are part of sports at pretty much every level, barring some professional teams.  From Pop Warner football and the little girls on the sidelines to the high-level cheer and dance teams that put on incredible routines at the college level, cheerleaders go hand-in-pom pom with sports.  However, cheerleading as an institution can be somewhat […]

When you’re running from the police, there are a lot of good places to hide.  There’s under the bed; a classic hiding space that’s still pretty good, it’d probably be the first place anyone would look, so perhaps that’s not the best idea.  There are other good hiding places, like closets, basements, the trunks of […]

There’s pretty much no way to stop Uber.  It’s completely changed the game as far as paying someone to drive you around is concerned, and there’s no going back to the old way.  Now it looks like Uber drivers are going legitimate.  The Teamsters are setting up an association for Uber drivers.  There’s already one […]

It was supposed to be a little treat for users.  After all, it’s 4/20, which is the unofficial marijuana holiday, and nobody’s more famous for his marijuana consumption than reggae legend and Jamaican demigod Bob Marley.  So, Snapchat users were given the option to Marley-ify their pictures with dreads, a big floppy hat, and… dark […]

I love Amazon Prime.  I’ve been a customer of Amazon Prime since I got a free year of Prime service with my Kindle Fire tablet.  I even got a Kindle Fire TV stick to stream video from Prime to my television.  Huge fan of their video offerings, the free e-book a month, the e-book library […]

When Charles Manson ordered his family of hippies and burn-outs to kill, they killed.  The knives and bullets of the Manson followers ended seven lives (or more) in a crime that shocked the nation.  One of those murderers, Leslie Van Houten, has just been given tentative approval for parole.  The California Board of Parole Hearings […]

Distracted driving is a problem.  It’s against the law in a lot of places, and that makes sense, because it’s more dangerous than driving drunk.  If only there was a way for police to determine who is driving distracted and who is just a terrible driver.  New York may be considering allowing police officers to […]

There’s nothing quite as nice as working from home.  No disruptions, no distractions, nothing to bother you, and nothing but silence for hours at a time.  Sometimes, it’s too quiet.  Sometimes you need some background noise to help you focus.  I can’t work without music, TV, or some kind of sound behind me, so a […]

When it comes to petrochemicals, the easiest part of the process has to be transporting crude oil.  Crude oil can make a serious mess of the environment, but at the same time, it’s a lot less dangerous than refined chemicals.  No towns have ever  had to be evacuated due to an oil leak, and oil […]

William Shatner’s been all around the world, and he’s been involved in all sorts of things, from classic sci-fi TV and movies to books and personal apperances.  However, I don’t think he’s ever been involved in something like this.  William Shatner faces a $170 million lawsuit from a man claiming to be his son.  Peter […]

In 2001, a man in South Carolina traveled to the city of Kannapolis and rented a VHS tape of one of the strangest movies of all time.  In 2016, that rental got him arrested by the police.  He didn’t rob the store or anything; he just never returned the movie and now he faces legal […]

Prison is not a nice place, and for certain criminals, it’s a nightmare.  If you’re famous, or you hurt children, well… you’re just looking for trouble in jail, and trouble tends to find you, no matter how well prepared for the big house you are.  See also famous criminal Jared Fogle, currently serving 15 years […]

There’s not a lot to be said for rock and roll these days.  It seems like increasingly the genre is in trouble, with no real rock bands around anymore.  However, there’s one band that sells out arenas and continues to rack up awards, and that’s Dave Grohl’s massively successful band, Foo Fighters.  All good things […]

FIFA has been without a head for quite some time, once Sepp Blatter received an 8-year ban from the world’s most corrupt sporting organization for being extra corrupt even by FIFA standards.  Well, you can’t be banned from an organization and also the president of the organization, so FIFA’s latest congress gathered in some sort […]
