Are you a student over the age of 18 in the Pittsburgh area?  Are you potty trained?  If you answered yes to these two questions, the Pittsburgh Penguins need your help.  The NHL franchise is moving into a new arena, the Consol Energy Center, and they need 250 volunteers willing to help simultaneously flush all the toilets in the new arena.  They’re dubbing the event the Student Flush, and they need your potty skills to help stress test their sewage system.

There will be over 400 people involved in the process, with 250 volunteers needed to join the existing 150 construction officials and workers on hand to participate in the mass evacuation. You don’t have to actually use the restroom, you just have to flush the toilet when you’re told.  Also, make sure you put the seat down when you’re finished, you don’t want anyone getting stuck in there.

The Consol Energy Center is scheduled to open with a Lady GaGa concert on September 5; the opening game for the Pittsburgh Penguins is October 7, 2010, versus the Philadelphia Flyers.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

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.
