This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom "The Office". I've been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try to "one-up", to no avail.
Daryl is played by actor Craig Robinson. He was recently arrested due to an alleged suspicion of possesing ecstasy and methamphetamine. Robinson's publicist declined to comment Friday. Robinson is scheduled to appear in ...
"The 29th Olympics is now open!", this is a joyous statement made by Chinese President Hu Jintao. This is remarkably the single most watched event of the year, China has well braved the preparations and now the spotlight is on her. Retired Chinese gymnastics champion Li Ning was carried through the air to light the Olympic cauldron, and pyrotechnics exploded throughout Beijing as the crowd of 91,000 at National Stadium cheered wildly. It is history in the making indeed.
The opening ceremony was marked by a spectacular program, a well-rehearsed light ...
I've come across an interesting article from Yahoo.com's Yahoo Green section. With the current escalating trend of the price of oil and gasoline (including their bi-products), the cost of owning a hybrid car is slowly making sense. People before think that gas cars are cheaper than hybrid (gas/electric) cars, and that hybrid will not pay for itself in the long-run. This idea is being challenged as oil reaches record-high prices this 2008.
True that you still cannot quickly recover your capital costs for hybrid cars, but its resell value is pretty rock solid. Hybrids are just holding ...
What do you do when number 2 is near impossible... and you're hundreds of thousands of miles away from the nearest john? You PANIC!
I read from CNN.com here that fixing the toilet problem of the International Space Station has been the top priority mission today. "So much so that a spare pump was rushed from Moscow, Russia, to Cape Canaveral last week for a last-minute ride aboard space shuttle Discovery. Cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko put in the new pump, and the toilet started working normally again.", CNN says. I must admit that I was ...
Wonderful news from CNN...
South African Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee, just won the right to be eligable to compete at this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing after sport's highest court backed his appeal against a ban imposed by athletics authorities.
Judging by the photo above, you'd see nothing but determination... running through his life. He's been a double amputee since he was a baby. Nothing makes him give up, he runs on shock-absorbing carbon-fiber prosthetics that resemble bent skis -- earning him the nickname "Blade Runner."
He's been running with those blades for a long time, this man ...
In Austria, the grandfather of all monstrosities

Austria … Julie Andrews, “The Sound of Music.”
That was before. Now, what comes to mind more easily when one thinks of Austria is Josef Fritzl, the Grandfather of Incest.
This devil of a man raped his own daughter for 24 years beginning when she was just 11 years old, kept her prisoner in a windowless cellar for the same duration of years, and sired her six surviving children, according to Austrian authorities.
Fritzl confessed to imprisoning his daughter Elisabeth in the cellar beneath their two-storey house in Amstetten, Austria, and DNA tests showed that indeed the 73-year-old devil had ...
After more than 10 years, Princess Diana may now rest in peace. Or would she?
Last Monday, April 7, 2008, a British inquest jury delivered a verdict of unlawful killing in the deaths of the Princess and her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed in the August 31, 1997 Paris car crash, blaming the driving of their chauffeur Henri Paul, who was also killed, and chasing paparazzi photographers.
Later, Dodi’s father, the billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed declared that enough is enough as he announced that he was abandoning his decade-long legal battle over Princess Diana's fatal car crash, and accepting an inquest ...
I got two moon stories here – both intriguing or silly, whichever way you look at it.
First, scientists have announced that they have discovered a moon on Saturn that appears to contain the basic ingredients for life -- warmth, water and organic chemicals.
The small Saturnian moon is called Enceladus where scientists reported seeing geysers at its south pole continuously shooting watery plumes some 500 miles off its icy surface into space last Wednesday, March 26, 2008.
The plumes were seen through the cameras of the Cassini spacecraft when it flew over the surface of Enceladus last March 12 as ...

If you’re shelling out more money for food these days, don’t be too surprised – You’re not the only one whose pockets are bleeding from high food prices.
From Albania to Zimbabwe – and all countries in between in alphabetical order – consumers are complaining about rising food prices.
In the Philippines, for instance, rice has doubled in prices since last January and threatens to triple in the days ahead. The price tag of practically every edible item is skyrocketing – pork, beef, chicken, vegetables, fish.
The same is true with fuel prices of course. The only thing not rising in ...
US presidential polls: Proxy fight between Brad and Angelina?
Mar 26 2008
Posted by Jay as Featured Articles, News Features
The next president of the United States could either be a relative of Brad Pitt or that of Pitt’s girlfriend Angelina Jolie.
But of course it’s not true that the next president will stay in Hollywood instead of Washington D.C. – although the presidency would surely be a star-studded one.
In an odd finding, researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society discovered that the two Democrat presidential bets – Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton – are actually relatives, although distant, of one of the hottest couples in Tinseltown.
Obama is a distant cousin of actor Brad Pitt, while Clinton ...

Hit your molars, please!
We all remember how good ‘ol mom would always remind us to “brush your teeth before going to bed, dear”, or “use toothpaste for heaven’s sake” or “would you please brush your molars too?”. It was good for mom to do that, if they didn’t I think half the world (or even more) would be [...]From the Editor
