Coming to America. Maybe it’s already here. I don’t know what you 18-24 set are into, and I’m okay with that. You do you and send me postcards. But I think the thing I’m about to tell you is way bigger in Vietnam than it is here. Loyalty Testing. Very simple premise. You suspect your […]
This story had me scratching my head a little, and not because of fleas. Star of the show is Toco, a Japanese man who spent the equivalent of $20,000 to become a dog. So yeah, okay, it was a costume, but as you have already seen the picture, you could pardon me for thinking he […]
Every now and then a spectacle comes along that threatens to reveal a deep philosophical truth. That isn’t what I’m about to tell you. Instead, I’ll tell you about a man originally from Iran, now living in Florida (yes, this is a Florida man story) named Reza Baluchi. Baluchi wanted to run across the pond. […]
So let’s be serious for a moment. Well, I’ll be serious, and you can crack jokes, I won’t take offense. Hunger is a real problem. And so are invasive species, like the flying carp (ever see those damn things? I would not want to be standing on a boat going down any river they’ve moved […]
I try to put out positive stories, maybe a bit of humor, because we live in a world of sadness. Unfortunately, that world has crossed into our world, and with unbearable sadness, it is my dour duty to eulogize a death, that of 581,000 gallons of red wine, lost from a breach at a wine […]
Okay, so this one needs a visual reference. Feel free at any time to scroll down and take a look. The James Webb Telescope took a picture, the same way an MRI takes a picture (don’t kill me science nerds) i.e. many slices to make a picture. They were looking at these two stars, Herbig-Haro […]
Did you ever hear about frogs raining from the sky? Or fish falling out of a tornado? Acts of God? I guess it depends on your philosophical bent. But weird stuff happens. And along those lines, I present to you this: pink flamingos on your neighbor’s yard, standing next to garden gnomes and cutsie wooden […]
The Great Wall of China is one of the seven wonders of the world, can be seen from space (NASA claims no) and has presided over thousands of years of history, separating China from the Mongolian plains. But it’s a bitch to get around if you happen to be running an excavator on other business. […]
The OV6948. I’m a big ole’ geek. Sort of. I’m not exactly “Revenge of the Nerds,” unless you want to go for Booger, which I’m at a slight loss to deny. But this isn’t a science site, so I keep my love of geekiness under the hood. But this thing I ran across, I just […]
The principles of journalism revolve around giving people unbiased news that they need to be an informed citizenry. Soooo glad I’m not a journalist, no matter what anyone tells ya’. Because the lofty heights of true journalistic integrity was walk right past Lino Tomasen with their noses sucking up altitude. Yeah, *that” Lino Tomasen. The […]
