As the old saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for, you must might get it.”  No doubt Cheng Yu was like every other kid growing up and wished he could have dessert for every meal.  Then he met Tian Mae, compulsive baker.  Now his marriage is on the rocks thanks to cake for every meal.  As it turns out, that’s not quite as much fun as it seems when you’re told, “If you don’t eat your dessert, you can’t have any dinner!”

Cheng says he was happy with all cake, all the time at first, but eventually it got old.  “Egg cake, fruit cake, chocolate cake.  I felt like a bakery dustbin,” he was quoted as saying.  I can’t say I blame him; I was okay with the idea of eating cake with every meal until he mentioned fruit cake.  Blech.

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
