So THAT’s Why…

Nick Steele Leave a comment

There have been some unprecedented things happening in this years Olympics. Not in competition but on Twitter, and mainly with the athletes that don’t realize they are being racists. Don’t believe me? Google it. Anyway, that’s not the only thing weird happening in London this year. Apparently there are these bizarre rules even for people who attend the Olympic events. Now some of them make sense, for example No Bagpipes and or Vuvuzelas allowed in any competition (YES!) But some other ones have you wondering why you would want to attend them at all. Check out the 6 weird rules you have to follow if you are just there watching Michael Phelps lose.

Let The Games Begin!

For some reason this year I am more excited about the Olympics than I have ever been. I still don’t know all the sports that the USA is searching for gold in, or when they are going to be on TV. I do know that I plan on watching them but I don’t know if I actually will or not. If they are on while I am at work then I will DEFINITELY be watching them this year. Anyways, in honor of the opening ceremonies tonight, here are 10 CRAZy but true facts about the Olympics. Did you know that instead of medals, they got paintings one year? Do you know how many white people have run the 100 meter in under 10 seconds? How about the oldest and youngest Olympians EVER? Find out those and more cool facts after the jump!

Creepy Post of the Week!

No matter what your personal choices are about how you would like to be remembered or if you want to be buried or cremated, this is CREEPY! How would you like to have a mold of your head, filled with your ashes, sitting on the mantle of your loved ones home? There’s a company called Cremation Solutions that can make an URN that’s a 3-D replica of your head, or the head of a loved one.  That way, you can make sure your family always knows you’re watching after you die

All they need is a few photos, no measurements or anything.  The urns sell for $2,600.  The sample one they have on their website is President Obama as you can see above. Check out another pic of it after the jump!

Has It Gotten This Bad?

SECOND ATTEMPT! So I’ve already written this blog once but the internet decided to go out and delete the whole thing (yay…) So let’s try this again! What is the world coming too honestly? When are people going to step up and say something? Let me explain, A woman in Florida was arrested for cheering at her daughters graduation. Yup, you read that right. ARRESTED for cheering. The parents were warned not to cheer for individual students, which means that we should all cheer equally for everyone. REALLY? Let’s be honest, I don’t know you, if your kid was to cure cancer right now and you told me. I still wouldn’t cheer for them. Why? Because I don’t LOVE your kid! I didn’t deal with his crap for the last 18yrs trying to keep them off drugs and out of the abortion clinic. Thats just the truth, you feel the same way if you admit it or not. It’s not like the mom was excessively cheering either, all she yelled was “Yay! My Baby did it!” and she was escorted out in handcuffs and had to pay $250 to get out on bail. Thats not all! A kid in Cincinnati was denied his diploma because…

Ex-STRESS Yourself!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I’m not really sure what the title means but I just got done writing that Madonna/Lady Gaga post and it made sense to me so DEAL WITH IT. What this post is supposed to be about is some hidden stresses in your life that will most likely make as much sense as the title.  For instance, leaving a night light on could be a contributing factor to your stress. What? I always sleep with a light on and I don’t feel stressed (GET OFF MY BACK ALREADY!). There are 3 more hidden stress givers…hidden after the jump. (Get it? I HID the HIDDEN stresses! Get it?…classic Nick right there.)

Would Your Relationship Pass?

Could your relationship live up to the scientific knowledge of the 1920’s? You rememeber the 20’s right? Segregation, women just started voting, REAL Coke! Well the  “Smithsonian Magazine” dug up a 1924 issue of a magazine called “Science and Invention”, and found a four-item LOVE TEST.  It was supposed to scientifically predict whether a marriage would succeed or fail. Apparently even when you ladies were barefoot and pregnant there were still marriage problems, and I thought that was the perfect life. See if you would pass the test after the jump! (WARNING: Scientist in the 20’s were kind of weird)

Say Bye-Bye To Your BFF

If this starts to pick up in the US I think Facebook is going to get even worse! So apparently you are no longer allowed to have a “Best Friend” in some schools in the U.K. (What?) Teachers are actually banning students from having one and instead forcing them to socialize in groups. I don’t know about you, but having a best friend made it a WHOLE lot wasier getting through school. From not walking home alone, to having someone to cheat off of in math class. What possible reason could they have to ban kids from having a cheating buddy!

Your Brain Wants You Drunk!

Apparently tossing a few drinks back daily may be good for your brain. Also, don’t exercise too much and sleep 7 hours a night. Sounds like a great life right? Well according to a new study these things are good for your brain.

For every extra hour of sleep you get, up to seven hours, your speed and accuracy on test questions goes up 4%.  Once you sleep MORE than seven hours though, your scores actually go down.
Exercising just once a week made people’s speed…
