Here’s a study I’d like to be a fly on the wall for. A group of volunteers were asked to put their hands in freezing water for as long as they could. during one trial, they were asked to say a random word, and in the other trial, they were asked to use a swear …

Well…That Explains Why I couldn’t Get Any Shows To Come Up On The Furnace.
Wow. Just a little over a year after a dude mistook the moon for a UFO, an elderly woman mistook the fireplace channel for her TV being on fire. thank god she didn’t try to throw water on her TV first. Then she would have had a real emergency.
Oh. I was supposed To Do Those In Order?
Is this the type of guy who doesn’t follow instructions well? Does he buy a piece of furniture with numbered pieces and then just grab random pieces and try to put them together? I would imagine so, since he can’t get three steps in order. The three steps were supposed to be rob armoured vehicle. …
That’s How It’s Done
Burin, Newfoundland resident Stewart Brenton, 47, has become the first case of truly appropriate drunk driving sentencing I’ve ever heard of. Back in June, Brenton appeared in court on charges of driving while impaired, flight from police and driving while disqualified. He was convicted and as part of his sentence, he was slapped with a …
It’s Not An iPod, It’s A Pea Pod
Next time you find 3 men sitting in a car full of laptops, cell phones and digital cameras and you decide you want to buy some, it would be good to look in the bag they hand you, especially after giving them about $866 U.S. If you don’t, you may find out you just paid …
Boooooarack Oboooooama?
There’s not a whole lot to say about the all-star game. It was fine, I had fun, what more can you ask for? It wasn’t the best night to be a starting pitcher, but in the end the right team won so it’s all good. One thing I did notice, at least I think I …
Look At Us, All Over The Letters to the Editor Section Again
On Tuesday, Steve said he was going to write a letter to the editor about an editorial he saw about the calling of bus stops. Well, it got in. I wrote one too, and it also made it in. I think his was better, but oh well. At least we both got to hit some …

Cell Phone Chatter
I figure while I’m ranting, I might as well get both of my small complaints out of the way first. Steve finally got himself a new cell phone, the same one I got a couple years ago, and while I’m largely happy with how smooth it was for him to get his hands on the …
Feel Free To Submit Events…If You Can Figure Out How
Here’s a puzzler for ya. How come almost every single media outlet that has a community events listings area doesn’t have a little section where they explain where people can send their listings, how long they need to be, etc? I’m part of a committee that wants to send press releases out about events coming …

When Somethin’s Hard To Articulate, Here’s What To Do
For the life of me, I cannot get this song out of my head. And try as she might, Carin can’t either. So I’m posting it here to share the love, and to show that not every song we write about here is complete suck. This one comes from Sean Cullen of Corky and the …
