More than “oops”

This is ridiculous…
Turner Broadcasting plans to take responsibility for the “hoax devices” that were found at several locations in and around Boston Wednesday that forced police bomb units to scramble throughout the area.
The incidents were part of a marketing campaign that involved a character from the cartoon show “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.”
I’m still working on [...]

I’ve had just about enough

…of these weekly snowstorms.
The snowfall will taper off in the metro area Wednesday afternoon, but will make a return appearance by Thursday night.
If we could get just a few sunny, warm, normal, Colorado winter days in order to melt the moguls on the side streets, fix the thousands of potholes, wash my mag-chloride covered car, [...]

We should think this through

Do we really need this?
All self-respecting painkillers these days offer “fast-acting relief,” a promise we accept to mean anywhere from 15 minutes to more than an hour.
For Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is developing drugs for migraine, pain, panic and agitation, “fast” has to mean “within seconds.”
The Palo Alto, California-based company is developing drugs that can [...]

When donuts attack

That cup of coffee just not getting it done anymore? How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That’s what Doctor Robert Bohannon, a Durham, North Carolina, molecular scientist, has come up with. Bohannon says he’s developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste [...]

Going to pothole

pothole that is…..
Denver Public Works has had crews out locating and patching the pesky potholes, nevertheless many more still exist out there, and they are taking a toll on cars and patience.
The pothole problem in Denver is getting ridiculous with all the snow.  How bad is it?  My Venezuelan girlfriend is used to potholes in [...]

How can I get paid…

…to do this?
Scientists in the eastern German city of Jena said Wednesday they have finally given up after three years of failed attempts to entice a sloth into budging as part of an experiment in animal movement.
So what do you call a sloth who lies on the floor all day?
Mats! Perfect!
Axel Burchardt, a University of [...]

All this snow amazes me

It does remarkable things…
SUMMIT COUNTY – A snowplow tipped over on the median on the Interstate 70, blocking traffic for a time.
I’m a Colorado native, and I can’t remember this much snow falling, for this long a period in all the years I’ve lived here.  Denver just can’t get on top of it.  Side streets [...]

What the….?

I worked with this guy….
A veteran Denver-area radio personality was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of using the Internet to lure a child into a sexual relationship.
Scott Eller Cortelyou, 53, of Conifer, was taken into custody at a KRCN-AM (1060) facility in Lakewood, where he co-hosts the morning Business for Breakfast show. The show features market [...]
