It’s hard to pinpoint when we decided there is no longer a line between our private and public selves. It could be the invention of the cell phone, which allows us to share our most intimate dramas with total strangers as we walk down the street gabbing. Or maybe the Information Age has blurred our boundaries by enabling us to put every stray thought we have on the Web for all the world to comment on. Whatever it is and whenever it happened, that break with apparently outdated notions...
“Walking With Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular” began its seven-show run Wednesday night at the Rabobank Arena with a lighthearted announcement: “Please switch off your mobile phones, as reception will not be available for 165 million years.”
In that fun spirit, the laughter — and, as beast upon prehistoric beast came out, the oohs, aahs, and a scream or two here and there — would continue throughout the two-hour show which delighted kids, parents,...
Corcoran State Prison has released a new prison photo of their most notorious inmate, Charles Manson.
Manson is 74. The 'Manson family' killings took place 40 years ago.
Ever wondered why your belly button attracts such an impressive collection of visitors by day's end?
Well, an Austrian scientist has studied 503 pieces of his own navel fluff and made some interesting observations, like:
Chemical analysis revealed the pieces of fluff were not made up of only cotton from clothing. Wrapped up in the lint were also flecks of dead skin, fat, sweat and dust.
This is the same scientist whose other projects include monitoring the erosion of his wedding ring.
According to a new survey of British youths and young adults, 60 per cent of 16-24 year olds would rather go without sex than music for a week, which increased to 70 per cent for 16-19 year olds.
The Youth and Music Survey 2009 was more interested in youth's listening habits,, and music-buying habits, but they obviously threw the sex angle in there so more people would read the survey!
No more Christmas cards with snowy winter views. Those carol singers knocking on your door should be wearing shorts and sandals, not wrapped up in scarves and mittens.
Using computer software to track the exact location of the Christmas star 2,000 years ago, astronomers have calculated that Christmas should be celebrated on June 17th and not on December 25th.
But it's not a knock on religion, the astronomers say. In fact, the opposite is true.
A note to all the grumpy gits you meet around town — and on the most rarest occasions, on these blogs: Happiness is contagious.
That's right. If you surround yourself with smiley, happy people, you're more likely to be a smiley, happy person yourself.
So put the pills down and head to the nearest Chuck E Cheese.
The only irony to this report is that it was published in a British journal — a nation of the most morose souls you're ever likely to meet.
A Wal-Mart shuts its doors.
Well, why didn't you say that?
Of course if you drove your own car and ate at a sandwich shop on the way we'll give you $25 billion of taxpayer money.
The big 3 automakers drove to Washington today instead of flying their private pimp planes, and they even deigned to eat with the peasants at Quiznos.
Quiznos? Everyone knows this is the richer cousin of Subway. If they were really trying to score points with the lawmakers they're facing today (who also have probably never eaten at a...
If you haven't already posed with fake smiles for your family Christmas card, here's a novel idea which pokes fun at the depressing economy.
The cards showcase vintage photos from the Great Depression with humorous captions.
