A White Castle Wedding

Three, yes count ‘em three, couples got married this Valentine’s Day in one extra special White Castle burger joint in Columbus, Ohio. 
Making their experience even more…um…special was a flower girl throwing salt and pepper packages at the newlyweds instead of rice and the grooms wearing official White Castle employee nametags on their lapels.  […]

PETA Bored, Attacks KFC

I have every respect for vegetarians and could never condone the mistreatment of animals, but this latest PETA campaign is just a bit over the top. 
The State of Kentucky is considering a measure which would declare fried chicken from the Colonel’s own Kentucky Fried Chicken the state’s official picnic food.  While I think […]

McCain Attack Ad: Scary Hillary Clinton in Crystal Ball

I would say that most of the time I have a great deal of respect for Republican presidential contender John McCain. 
Unlike many of the other folks in the race from both parties, he has been relatively consistent in his policies and political views, quite bipartisan in his approach to passing legislation, and unafraid of […]

Spam Showcase: Herschel the Astronomer

It’s not often that a piece of spam turns out to be legitimately educational.  Did you know that Sir William Herschel, a British scientist, was the first to identify Uranus as a planet in 1781?  Of couse, as with all spam, there’s a catch.  At the beginning and end of the message, it discretely links […]

Top 10 Dumb Gifts for 2007

Now that Thanksgiving is over, the sounds of Christmas and consumerism are in the air.  Just visit any store anywhere in the United States and we can almost guarantee that they will be playing obnoxious carols and ubiquitous holiday "easy listening."

Wii Shortage Helps Sony

The consumer market just can’t get enough of the new Nintendo Wii gaming system and, surprisingly, this is helping other consules’ sales.  That’s because the Wii is SOOOO popular that no store can keep them in stock long enough to keep up with the demand.

Star Trek Seeking All Weirdos

Here’s a fun story from FilmGecko.com about recent casting news for the upcoming Star Trek film.
The latest casting call is seeking "talent" with odd bodily features like big heads, emaciated builds, triplets and quintuplets, large ears, and small eyes.
