When Lydia Carranza got her breast implants, she probably did it for cosmetic reasons.  After all, it’s not like breast implants can stop bullets, right?  Well, normally they can’t, but Lydia Carranza and her surgeons are thanking her falsies for saving her life.  Ms. Carranza was working in a dental office in Simi Valley, California, when a man stormed in with a gun.  He shot his intended target, his ex-wife, and then turned the gun on Lydia.  She was shot point blank in the chest, yet she lived to tell the tale due to her D-cup breast implants.

She was shot in the chest, but the bullet hit (and deflated) her saline breast implant.   This slowed the bullet fragments just enough to keep the shrapnel from hitting her heart and other vital organs.  Apparently the best way to survive bullet wounds are to either get fake breasts or grow a life-saving layer of fat.

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.
