A lot of folks are amused by “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis’ sentencing to 35 days in jail for contempt of court.
He yelled at the attorneys and talked smack at the presiding judge, calling him a “judge gone wild.”
Having reached a settlement with the seven women who were suing him for [...]

One might think that at 55 years old, Reid Stowe might have a better clue about what works and what doesn’t in a relationship. His plans to set sail for just under three years straight with his girlfriend, without a single stop in any port of call, may sound romantic and brave on paper, [...]

The thick-haired Latino actor from New York City who went on to international fame and glory between the years 1977 and 1983 as the thick-haired Latino motorcycle cop from Los Angeles has been honored with his own star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

You know who really loves a bachelor party? Guys who have already been married for a few years.
The edges have been good and worn off of the marriage by then. You’ve seen each other vomit a few times, you pee in front of each other (and in some particularly intimate relationships the dreaded #2 [...]

UK scientists from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne are working on a way to produce sperm cells from bone marrow. They feel it may be possible in time to enable men, incapable of producing sperm, to have their own offspring.

A few weeks ago we took the opportunity to discuss a new means of disposing of the dead when we focused on the Lifegem, a process by which an individual’s earthly remains are turned into a stone suitable for mounting into jewelry. This being Urban Gardening week, it’s ripe for discussing another, more organic method [...]

It wouldn’t be proper if a theme week about urban gardening didn’t include a mention of growing dope and the like for the purpose of fun and profit.

Where Did The Bees Go?

According to North American beekeepers, between 40% to 70% and more of the bees they usually keep in their honeycombs are disappearing, and without a trace at that. Toxins or chemicals in the area are the main suspect, but no proof has been provided as of this time.
While seasonally a beekeeper’s hives are expected [...]

How does this happen? We’re always hearing about a patient going in for some kind of surgery and having something perfectly healthy removed by accident. Sometimes it’s the wrong kidney, sometimes someone goes in for one kind of operation but receives an entirely unnecessary operation because someone screws up the paperwork.
Poor 47 year old Benjamin [...]

Spanish Fly In A Spray?

Well, not quite. The blister beetle of old was never really a laudable aphrodisiac for women, but it does have the propensity for inflaming a person’s genitalia after its active ingredient, cantharidin, passes through the urethra, inducing irritation and burning. Of course, that’s after trace amounts are ingested, but a little too much and it [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0

» We just cracked a 750 of “Forêt,” an organic saison from Brasserie Dupont. The reviews on Beer Advocate are sort of mixed, but as far as I’m concerned it’s a knockout: bright, light, full of the best tastes of summer. One of the best saisons I’ve ever had. # 1
