I have to confess, I love to catch a glimpse of a celebrity mug shot. The dear in the head lights look is right up there with Magnum and Blue Steel in my book. The latest celebrity to get the mug shot treatment? Heather Locklear. The Age are reporting that: Actress Heather Locklear has been [...]

Since I installed the WP-Polls plugin I’ve run a grand total of eight polls on this site. Generally, they aren’t all that popular with visitors, with only 3 of 8 getting into double figures. My most popular poll so far has been on Battle of the Battlestar Galactica Cyclons Round Two with 53 voters so [...]

When I registered with Predictify a while back, I was a little sceptical, I mean to say, their tag line was “Make Money By Predicting Future Events”. Were they for real? Well, as it turns out, they are for real, and they continue to pay out. Don’t kid yourself, you’re not going to make a [...]

How would you feel if you were mistaken for being a member of the opposite sex? I can’t speak from experience, but I’m sure it not the greatest feeling in the world, furthermore, it’s not exactly the sort of thing I’d want to go to the media to talk about. Britain’s The Sun newspaper are [...]

Obviously combining science and flatulence was the holy grail for Dr. Michael Levitt, the American gastroenterologist who conducted ground breaking research in the odour of flatulence. Dr. Levitt is a pioneer, and his studies on the potency [...]

Call me an early adopter if you like, but I just had a hunch that there was a market for belly button lint out there. My suspicions were confirmed this evening when I paid a visit to my Squidoo Lens and saw this eBay auction appear on my lens. It’s definitely a crusty looking specimen, [...]

Well the goal project continues to roll on, and if you read July’s update that figures were down across the board. Unfortunately this trend continued into August. One thing I can say is that this trend mirrors the same time last year to a certain extent, which is interesting. Perhaps it’s seasonal? 1. Develop Swollen [...]

Gary Busey may just be crazy. I’m not sure why I haven’t come across this clip sooner, but then, better late than never. Who’s Gary Busey? He’s that guy from Point Break, not Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze, the other guy. He’s also that guy from Predator 2, no, not Danny Glover, but the other [...]
