4 weeks ago We come across plenty of dumb criminals here in the United States but apparently we don't have a corner on numbskull crooks. Take this situation in Australia where a guy decides to drive off without paying for his gas but forgets--or doesn't care--that his accomplice girlfriend is still pumping into his tank. Check out the video.
4 weeks ago There are signs that the economy is picking up after a few tough years. However the improvement is far from universal. There are still people who are having a rough go of it and if they have a pet it is even more difficult. You can buy Coke with food stamps but not pet food, a questionable call. Now a former Wall Street stockbroker has started a service called "Pet Food Stamps" to help ease the burden.
4 weeks ago Since "American Idol" debuted in 2002 there have been 10 different judges. The original panel consisted of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson with Jackson being the only one of the three to continue with the show to this day. Now a new survey by Zimbio.com reveals that Keith Urban is considered to be the best "AI" judge ever, something that Polly Wog heartily concurs with. Take a look at the full results.
4 weeks ago It's always family fun at its best. We're talking about the annual Oneida County Farm Fest coming Friday, June 7, at Brabant Farms on Happy Valley Road in Verona. It's a rain or shine event that gives you the opportunity learn more about farming and agriculture in general in a festive atmosphere full of great events. What can you expect at the 2013 Farm Fest?
4 weeks ago Most--if not all--of us have had the experience of seeing a flashing red light in our rear view accompanied by a loud, obnoxious siren. Even though we probably know what we did wrong our first impulse is to try and explain our way out of that inevitable ticket. USA Today reported the results of a survey asking drivers what their favorite excuse was.
4 weeks ago Most of us spend a fair amount of time complaining about how much--or how little--money we earn. If this includes you be prepared to be surprised at just how well off you are as compared to people in other parts of the world. GlobalRichList.com did the computing for us with these results.
4 weeks ago It is the rare--and very lucky--person who does not have a phobia or two. Bugs, snakes, heights and trips to the dentist are all common phobias and with over half of the population admitting to one irrational fear or the other chances are you fit into one of these groups. What is the most common phobia?
4 weeks ago It was a beautiful night for racing action at Utica-Rome Speedway and fans were treated to a pulse pounding evening of excitement. It was a night to remember for Ryan Phelps as he scored his first ever Modified Feature win. Steve Way took home the Race of Champions Sportsman Series checkered flag while Shawn Frost won the Pro Stock event and Ricky Breed the Pure Stocks. Check out the full results.
4 weeks ago The junior and senior proms are two of the social highlights in any high school students life but, as times change, so do some of the rules. For example, what if your school banned limos on prom night? One Connecticut school did just that. Find out why and check out some other strange high school prom bans.
4 weeks ago You either love her or you don't. I do. I'm talking about "Flo", the perky Progressive Insurance salesperson character we see on TV. The bright red lips, the navy headband, retro hairstyle and white on white outfit are all signature looks employed by Stephanie Courtney in the long running series of spots. Maybe you'd be surprised to know that Stephanie has been around show business for a long, long time. Here are a few things you probably didn't know.
April 21, 2013 I know our two cats Fenway and Parker (yes, we're Red Sox fans) love boxes. Anytime we bring home something that comes in a box it's just a matter of minutes before one or the other climbs in-or at least tries to-and makes themselves comfortable. Maybe they'll just lie on it or scratch at it or chew it but whatever it is about a box it is simply irresistible. Apparently the same goes for big cats as in really big cats. Take a look.
April 20, 2013 If you are going car buying in Singapore make sure you're ready for some serious sticker shock. A VW Golf that would cost an American buyer about $23,000 goes for $110,000 in that Southeast Asian country. That's just one example of everyday purchases that are outrageously expensive in other countries. A cup of Starbucks coffe in Norway? Brace yourself.
