Officer Thomas Lucasiewicz either has the most highly trained nose ever (and we know how great police training is…) or he just might have had some insider info when he let his nose lead him to a massive drug bust in Middlesex County, New Jersey.
This wasn’t just any bust…this is the single largest [...]

Academy Awards Hosts
Posted on 07. Mar, 2010 by Chuck Rocker in Comedy, Entertainment, News
Yes, that’s right…not a typo. This year’s Academy Awards will have 2 hosts. For the first time in 23 years that hosting will be handled by a team, a team made up of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin!
What’s better than one funny man…two. Usually the host bores the hell out of the audience, reading off [...]

Posted on 06. Mar, 2010 by Chuck Rocker in Entertainment, News, Video
The new film Brooklyn’s Finest is coming out soon and stars: Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle, Richard Gere and Wesley Snipes. It appears to be very similar to a previous film by the same director, Training Day…but still looks awesome.

Its officially conclusive: a huge bad-ass asteroid killed off the dinosaurs. Hit Chicxulub, Mexico according to 41 international experts. Yep, sure.
Seriously? Are we still talking about this? The scientific community is absolutely obsessed with “what killed the dinosaurs”…but I’m not.
Dude, that was like a million years ago. Are we really putting resources into mass [...]
Jake Delhomme Gets Fired
Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by Chuck Rocker in News, Scoopage, Sports
On Friday the Carolina Panthers officially said good-bye to their star quarterback Jake Delhomme.
According to a very accurate (in my opinion) Fox Sports:
In some ways, the move is a surprise, and in some ways, it isn’t. It hadn’t been preceded by any rumors of the Panthers cutting Delhomme, but at the same time, he’d been [...]
Siberian Gas
Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by Chuck Rocker in Dis & Dat, News, Tech
Global warming…again?
Yes. This time the source is a long-frozen seabed North of Siberia. Apparently its melting and releasing large amounts of greenhouse gas (methane) into the atmosphere. The study said about 8 million tonnes of methane a year, equivalent to the annual total previously estimated from all of the world’s oceans, were seeping from vast [...]

The cause of the stinky, foul-tasting Girl Scout cookies has been discovered.
The Lemon Chalet Crème cookies were recalled when people reported their bad taste and smell. But don’t worry if you ate them; they’re not poisonous.
The problem was due to one of the oils used in the cookies. When the oil breaks down, it gives [...]
