What is a blog anyway?
Well, it appears I didn’t need to eat the news reporter for breakfast in my post about blogging and the news. I saw the story and it wasn’t nearly so blog-blaming as I thought. The only person who got canned because of her blogging activity deserved it. Note to self: when blogging about my job, …
Scapegoat Fun!

Thanks For The Tip
Apparently cow tipping isn’t as easy as people make it sound, and here’s the study to prove it. Yes, I said study. Two scientists at the University of British Columbia have rather disagreeably debunked the myth that you can – when suitably refreshed after a night on the sauce – stagger into a field and …
What?
I want you all to meet Chris Roller, the guy who just might get my vote for craziest man in the universe. Not only is he suing David Copperfield and David Blaine claiming that they owe him money because they’ve stolen his Godly powers and are now using them in their magic acts, but he …
