We all know the dangers of testing while driving. It's illegal of course but there are still some among us who do it even though we know that taking our eyes off the road for even a second can be catastrophic. But how about texting while walking. I can't begin to tell you how many people have bumped into me or how many times I have had to take evasive action because they were texting and not watching where they were going. Check out this video of a very painful example of texting while walking.

I did it again yesterday. Apparently I never learn. I stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a coffee to go and when I went out to my car I put it on the roof while I adjusted a couple of things on the front seat. Then I got in and drove off. With the coffee still on the roof. The result?

Turning a Kitchen Into a Musical Instrument [VIDEO]

Zach Effrog — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:55:08 +0000

So, if I said to you, "Turn your kitchen into a musical instrument," what would you do? My first thought would be to revert to my toddler years and hit a spoon against a frying pan to make a drum-like sound. But, not this guy in the video. He goes one step further than just hitting a spoon against a frying pan. He turns his whole kitchen into an instrument. He uses everything from a can of cooking spray to a whisk to make musical sounds. I should clarify that he actually turns his kitchen into one big synthesizer. Check it out.

It is probably one of the most mis-named parts of your car. The glove compartment. How many people actually store their gloves in the glove compartment? My money is on “not many”.

What Women Talk About

Matt Herkimer — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:00:01 +0000

One day last week I came home and my wife was having lunch with her daughter and daughters-in-law. After I said hello I thought for a minute about pulling up a chair and joining the conversation but after overhearing what was being talked about I decided against it. It seems that men and women talk about different things when they are with with a group made up exclusively of their own gender than they do in mixed company. I checked out a website called Allwomenstalk.com to find out what girls talk about amongst themselves.

Josh Turner Doesn't Envy Scotty McCreery

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 20:54:09 +0000

When we first met ‘American Idol‘ Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery just under a year ago, he sang Josh Turner‘s ‘Your Man’ a capella for the judges and was upstreamed to the next round. McCreery has not concealed the fact that he admires Turner and that he ultimately hopes to emulate Turner’s career. Even though Turner supports McCreery as he continues to evolve into a country superstar in his own right, he doesn’t return the admiration for McCreery’s on-the-go lifestyle right now.
