The older you get, the funnier you aren’t, if you believe a survey from the UK cable television channel Dave.  They say that, as folks get older, they laugh less and less.  By age 52, the average man is officially classified as grumpy, laughing less than three times a day by age 60.  It’d be funny, but the survey’s respondents aren’t laughing.

Among the other interesting discoveries uncovered in the research are that men are more prone to grumpiness than women.  Also, at least in Britain, the average person only knows about two jokes.  Now that is something to be sad over; how can you only know two jokes?!  Surely they could take a lesson from Grumpy the Senator and learn that life isn’t something to be taken too seriously.  By the time you get to be an elderly person, you need to realize you only have a few years left and you should enjoy them by any means necessary, so tell some jokes, ride a roller coaster, do whatever you enjoy because you’ve only got a finite number of years left on the planet.

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.
