When I first read about the upcoming Battlestar Galactica panel discussion at the United Nations, I thought it was a joke. But no, it really happened. Last night. Whoopi Goldberg was the moderator. In the most provocative moment of the evening, Olmos angrily declared to the audience that race and racism are illusory concepts, created…

Most soda in America is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, not cane sugar. Soda companies insist that nobody can tell the difference. They may be right, I dunno. I’ve never done a side-by-side taste test. Pepsi Throwback is coming this spring. It’s Pepsi made with real sugar. Mountain Dew is getting the same treatment….

When Kate was first born I spent a lot of time at home in front of the TV. There’s really not much else to do when you’re taking care of a wee tiny baby at that age. When you’re home all day and your DVR runs dry you start doing the unthinkable – watching daytime…

Companies are hired to go into foreclosed homes, clean them out completely, and haul everything away to landfills. Here’s a video that makes it seem like a relatively easy and profitable job!

Coming to a Brookstone near you: The Cinco Urinal Shower “WHAT KIND OF GUY THAT YOU ARE!”

I am generally not a fan of sticking things in peoples butts. So when it comes time to take Kate’s temperature, I usually let Tammy step in. That has all changed upon my discovery of a cool new baby gadget – the Exergen Temporal Scanner. It works on people of any age – not just…

WED’s involvement in the 1964 World’s Fair was good business for everyone involved. The four sponsoring pavilions (Ford, General Electric, Pepsi, and the state of Illinois) got to showcase state-of-the-art attractions delivered by Walt himself, and Disneyland received four new attractions at virtually no cost when the fair ended.
