With gas prices already at four bucks a gallon, many people are panicking and less people are driving. But for me, this isn’t a bad thing. Think about it. What does more expensive gas really mean? If man is faced with a problem, he works his way around it. I’m not saying more cost is [...]

Reality shows have been around since 1948 when Candid Camera first aired. Survivor and American Idol brought the genre to the mainstream, and now we have reality shows popping out left and right! Many normal people became stars overnight as millions of people tuned in to this genre. Voting for these shows exceeded the voters [...]

Back in my day, we called a tomato a tomato. Now you have to pick what type, if it’s organic or not, and all that stuff. I only realized that the same thing happened to chicken eggs when my wife pointed it out to me on a trip to the supermarket. So, what variations of [...]

The Beijing Olympics are getting closer and closer, and more people are considering going to the most populated country in the world to watch. I don’t really condone China and their policies, but for those who want to make the trip, here are a few important reminders.

I want to take a break from the trivia to tell a story. I know a young man. He was 21 years old, had a stable job, and recently got married to the girl of his dreams. They weren’t rich, but they were very happy. He was going to get their own place once he [...]
