Are You American Enough?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Can you prove it? To become a citizen if you weren’t born here you have to take a test, which I’m sure you knew, but could YOU pass it is the question. There is a website called The Christian Science Monitor that has taken 96 questions from the citizenship test over the years and made it available for you to take. I’ll be honest, I was pretty sure I was going to fail miserably because I failed History in school but I got most of them correct. I guessed on a few but after all it is a test and I wouldn’t be in radio if I was any good at tests. You have to get a 58 to pass and become a citizen. Click HERE to give it a shot! Let me know how you did in the comments!

Lady Parts Are Expensive!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Everyday I wake up there are 2 things that I do immediately after opening my eyes. First I go to the bathroom, and second I reflect on how AWESOME it is to be a guy. Yes, we are dumb and slow and get a lot of grief for being heartless but we are also extremely low maintenance. Any guy who doesn’t admit that not giving birth is a great thing is a horrible person. On top of that, it is expensive to keep your lady parts maintained! I bet you didn’t even know that you spend over $2500 a year just on that part of your body did you? The website Jezebel.com calculated how much and on what you spend that money on. Click the jump to find out more reasons it is just fabulous being male.

Where Is Your Right Hand?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

It is most likely on the mouse to your computer right? I apologize to the left handers for being ambi-bias but let’s face it, your a minority. Either way, whatever hand you are controlling your mouse with needs to be washed IMMEDIATELY. According to a new study that I found, while clicking around with my mouse,  your average computer mouse if 3 times filthier than your toilet seat. (picking food from my teeth) It also found that just about everything you touched in the office today is on the same level. Keyboard, office chair, desk, phone, elevator button ALL dirtier than your toilet.

I like to keep a positive outlook on things, so what I’m going to take away from this is that I can save about 100 bucks and 4 hours a year using and buying hand sanitizer. The more germs the merrier! No matter what you do, they are going to get you…they are on you RIGHT NOW!

Have a nice day =)

Quiet PLEASE!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I’m not a big fan of “quiet” because I would rather not sit and think about things. Yes, that probably means I have some psychological problem that stems from having ……”la la la la la I can’t hear you” What were we talking about? Oh yes, some people just want some “peace and quiet” when they get home from work. I’m assuming that is where these scientists in Minneapolis got the idea to create the quietest place on EARTH. They built a laboratory that is 99.99% sound absorbant which gives them the world record. HOWEVER, it has an unpredicted side effect that could make you Continue reading →

Angry Birds Cartoon?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Ok, I get that Angry Birds is an addicting game! I play it while I’m on the air all the time but, do they really need to make a cartoon about it? 52 episodes of an animated Angry Birds series is in the works and will be released in the fall. I guess that’s better than the movie they are planning that has been postponed for now. You can expect that in 2015 though. I didn’t know people actually like the characters in the game that much. I just look at them as bolders with eyes that I need to kill the green ugly things. Beyond that, I have no attachment to the voiceless characters. Am I wrong? Do you LOVE Angry Birds and can’t wait for the show to come to your mobile device?


Bald Barbie

Nick Steele Leave a comment
I had been seeing a petition circling Facebook for the last couple months about making a bald Barbie. The idea is that it would show young girls that are going through chemo-therapy and losing their hair that they are still beautiful. I thought it was such a great idea and I wasn’t the only one. Mattel, the makers of Barbie have decided to do it. What’s even cooler is that they won’t be available in stores. Mattel will be donating them to children’s hospitals. If there ever was a time to click the “like” button, it would be now!

Booby Traps!

Nick Steele Leave a comment
If you’re a man then you know the most powerful tool for male destruction is the female body. Well women know that too apparently. (which one of you told them?) According to a new survey 2/3 of women have used their cleavage to get advantages. I can’t count how many times I have instructed my girlfriend to “make sure the girls are out” when she is going to ask for a raise, or a cop pulls her over. To which she always replys “of course!” Now there really aren’t any statistics showing the results of whipping them out when they want something but as a guy I can say it probably works 99.9% of the time on me. Here are the stats for what most women use their cleavage for: Continue reading →

COFFEE COFFEE!!!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Everyone enjoys a good cup of coffee now and then. Or in my case Vanilla Frappichino in the bottle from Walgreens (they never make it right at starbucks). There are people out there that get their fix of caffine everyday and those people are blowing their money! I don’t want to tell you how to live but did you know that if you saved all the money you spent on coffee throughout your career you would have about $25,000 to spend? The avergage coffee drinker spends about $11 a week, which for you Starbucks fans is about triple that, and multiply that by 45 years of working. That leaves the average person the ability to buy a new car CASH. Albeit not a super nice one, but it’s still a car.

Enjoy your Java!
