Who are the World's Richest Musicians?

by Ian Hough  |   Filed in: Entertainment, Music, Random  |   No Comments – be the first!
March 19, 2013
It's an obvious and commonly known fact that among all of the professions in the world today, one of the most lucrative of them all (and most passionately sought after) is a successful musician or rock star. And the word "rock" is sort of a catchall phrase here: any multi-million album-selling musician of any genre is poised to make a real fortune. But while you would think a musician's riches comes mainly from the record deal, album sales, and perhaps concerts, appearances and endorsements, the... [Read more]

Book Review - Social Media is Bullshit, by B.J. Mendelson

A quote from Mr. Mendelson. Do you spend a lot of time on the computer? Are you "Web-savvy"? Savvy enough to know that social media is bullshit? Well, thanks to a new book whose title declares this fact, we can learn why this is so. I found out about B.J. Mendelson, author of Social Media is Bullshit` on Twitter around 2009. I saw a tweet that said something to the effect of "Find out why Twitter isn't working" and clicked on the link. It took me to an article by Mendelson. In it, he discusse... [Read more]

Scientists are sexy and lead extremely vigorous lives. We live in chaotic times, zany times, whacky times, and nothing's whackier than science, is it?

Here are 10 amazing scientific innovations that will become a reality in 2013! Read more...

The Humble Cookie

by Ali  |   Filed in: Comedy, Entertainment, Food, Random  |   No Comments – be the first!
December 12, 2012
There's a universal understanding that consumption of a cookie requires no shame. Sure, you can down a full bag of potato chips but there's a risk that you'll end up covered in a crude mixture of grease and tears. With cookies, you're allowed, and in some cultures encouraged, to douse yourself in crumbs, mash your Oreos to a pulp and graze the dessert table like a bovine to grass. [Read more]

So, the real question is - without Hostess around, how will we survive the pending apocalypse, let alone a zombie invasion, without the sugary, [allegedly] radioactive, goodness of these timeless treats? [Read more]

There's got to be a way to extend Halloween into the wastelands of winter. While watching the undead rise during the holidays probably isn’t the best way to give thanks (unless you’re watching The Nightmare Before Christmas), a live thriller on Broadway would be a perfect alternative (holiday gift anyone?).

Tigers vs. Lions: 9 Reasons The Lion Isn't The King of the Jungle

by Ian Hough  |   Filed in: Comedy, Entertainment, Random, Comedy, Entertainment, Random  |   20 Comments

Majestic poise, like nothing else on Earth. Recently, one of my colleagues wrote a rather amusing article on this blog declaring lions to be superior to tigers. Oh, how we laughed. It's only natural that the human race (being composed of 90% simpletons) should admire the lion; its preposterous mane, that silly bobble on the end of its tail, its hilarious title, "King of the Jungle" (even though lions don't live in the jungle), and its overuse on royal seals and company logos. In actuality, lio... [Read more]

Justin, why the &%$# have you got Canadian bacon on yer 'ead?!?. When I logged into EBay this morning I wasn't prepared for what awaited me: A painting of Justin Bieber with a pile of $#@%&*^ bacon on his head! And a giant smokestack in the distance behind him. All very disturbing, I'm sure you'll agree. Best get yer bids in now though, 'cuz there's only ten of these babies available, and like the Disney Joy Division controversy earlier this year, they'll soon be snapped up. And the saddest pa...

Manchester United IPO is a PR Disaster for the Glazers - and there's more...

July 31, 2012
Football and finance have become uneasy bedfellows. Monday signalled a grim new twist in the Glazer family's Manchester United saga. It's been a terrible two weeks. United supporters have stood by helplessly as their club, once the wealthiest in the world, was largely ignored when the Glazers made an initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) a fortnight ago. The Glazers, who also own Tampa Bay Bucs, seemed headed for a major FAIL with the two-tiered IPO of "Class A" a... [Read more]
