I have a question for anyone out there who happens to be either a sportswriter, broadcaster or an editor. Is there a regulation somewhere stating that every time Tampa Bay plays a hockey game, you are required to use the words “bottle Lightning” when reporting on it?? If the answer is no, then I also …

I’ve Never Seen That Before.
Haloscan appears to be puking all over itself in a whole new way. When you open the comment window and write a masterpiece, it lets you post it, and then cries “I can’t save it!” and spews all manner of error code at you. I have no idea why this is happening, hopefully it’ll just …
Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Holy Shit You Must Like Legal Bills!
These imbeciles are appealing their DaVinci Code Lawsuit! Why can’t they just quit while they’re…behind I guess? They already owe about $2 million of Randomhouse’s legal bills, plus their own! Face it dudes, you’re done! I wish I could find the page number where their book is clearly mentioned, and save the courts, the judge, …

I Hope The Pay Is Good
No matter how hard I try, I can’t get my head aroundthis story.I’ve been sitting here trying to write it up for about the last 10 minutes and I just can’t make it sound right, so I’ll let the story do the talking and throw in comments where I must. LONDON (AP) – As a …
Did You See That Thing with the Guy on the Show There?
Um, this is dumb. Dumb and doomed to fail. A coalition of agencies that fight for the protection of prostitutes in Vancouver is sending letters to the media saying that reporters shouldn’t use Robert Pickton’s name when they talk about him during his upcoming trial so that he doesn’t get some kind of celebrity status …

Off I Go, Into the Wild Blue Yonder!
It looks like we finally got our winter. I woke up this morning to a hissing sound outside my window. That was a whole wack of ice pellets and snow smacking into the building. Yee ha, welcome to January. At least that seems more normal. Crappy, but seasonal. Maybe it’ll kill off the whole host …
Blinded Me with Science
Ok, this is just stupid. A 15-year-old boy apparently learned how to make a home-made bomb out of caustic soda and other common products from a children’s television science show, although that is under dispute, because the show’s producers can’t find record of that exact experiment. His plan of impressing all of his friends went …
Spreading the Word
I got this in the mail today, and figured I could help spread the word. I remember how hard it was to get study participants. so hell, any way I can help someone else, I’d be glad to help. Harvard Medical school is conducting a survey of legally blind women to see if the incidence …
Punched Out.
Ever since I heard about this story, I’ve wanted to say something about it, but I just couldn’t get my head around what happened. In the small town of Erieau, Ontario, somebody died and 3 people got sick enough to be hospitalized from drinking punch laced with windshield wiper fluid. How did the windshield wiper …
Last Words on the TD Talking Bank Machines.
They talk all the way through! They even tell you to select your language, in multiple languages! At last, there is speech from the beginning to the end! They did it! Yea! Woo! Now I need to send that thank you letter out pronto. I know I probably look nuts to sighties for getting excited …
