SCORE! The American College of Cardiology has just reaffirmed my lifestyle choices with a new study that says drinking two to three cups of coffee a day can add YEARS to your life. This was a very comprehensive study, as well. It tracked over 400,000 people for around a decade. The results fly in the [...]
When people complain that their soda is 'too syrupy,' that isn't a suggestion, Pepsi. The cola company announced a new abomination this week. In a collaboration with IHOP, you, too, can try Maple Syrup Pepsi. That sound you hear is millions of people getting diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. To win a single, 12-ounce can, [...]
Yeah, you read the headline right. Wiring plugs. The list comes from a poll of adults listing off what "traditional skills and hobbies" aren't being used as much. Wiring plugs came in at No. 13.

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday morning. This is the one where we lose an hour. Because Ben Franklin hated us, or something. Live Science has a good rundown of why we do this to ourselves twice a year, but basically, Franklin came up with this hair-brained idea to “conserve energy” back in the 1780s. Even still, [...]
Awwwww...kitty! Naps can be a tricky endeavor. You have to balance out that sweet, sweet extra sleep time with not going so long that you, 1) feel worse when you wake up, and 2) don't screw up your full night sleep. Thankfully, a sleep expert has come up with the perfect duration for [...]
This has got to rank up there on a parent's nightmares. A nine-year-old boy in Brazil managed to sneak out of his house, get onto a plane, and fly 1,700 miles away without anyone being the wiser. Little Emanuel apparently decided he wanted to visit family in another city in Brazil and planned the whole [...]
I shouldn't be surprised that people are doing this, but I am. The Next Great Internet Argument is over toasters. Specifically, over whether or not to put the appliance away when you're not using it. Yes, I know. This ridiculousness started with this tweet: https://twitter.com/lottyburns/status/1496444551128657924 And was subsequently picked up by a Philadelphia news station: [...]
COVID robbed us of a number of things over the course of 2020 and 2021, but one of the most egregious is THE longest pancake-related tradition: The International Pancake Day Race between Liberal, KS, and Onley, England.
