When you’ve got to get away from the cops, we can’t all be as brazen and resourceful as the naked chick who stole a cop car.  Sometimes, you have to make due with what’s available, and a 31-year-old Washington man figured anything was better than nothing and attempted to lead police on a low-speed chase by hopping on a riding lawnmower.

Police in Kennewick, Washington, say the 31-year-old was attempting to steal the lawnmower and a trailer full of other lawn-care equipment.  Of course, the idea of loading that trailer onto another trailer, or pulling the lawn mower onto the trailer full of lawn-care equipment, then hooking that trailer up to something a little faster.  Amazingly enough, the man wasn’t drunk; he was booked on theft, burglary, and drug charges.

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.
