7 year old leads police on a chase

7 year old boy steals his dad's car and makes a break for it. He was trying to avoid church.

At 3:12, the boy gets out of the car and makes a run for it. It's pretty funny.

Golden Girls House Located

As a fan of the 80's era sitcom "The Golden Girls," I was excited to learn that the house used for the exterior shots actually exists - at 245 N. Saltaire Ave., Los Angeles!

US Swimmer Ricky Berens is making headlines but not for his swimming. Poor guy tore his swimsuit just before jumping into the pool. It ripped straight down the back.

Apparently the tighter the suit, the faster you can go.

Pulling the Plug on Mafia Games

The New York Times has reported that the Chinese government has banned online games that feature mafia or organized crime as themes, citing "internet addiction" which it claims is linked to crime.

Meanwhile, on Facebook, the application "Mafia Wars" is steadily gaining in popularity, with more than 14 million active monthly users at last count... If what the Chinese government says is true, should we be preparing for a massive crime wave?

This is very cool.

Women are evolved, men not so much

Let me clarify before you come after me with a pitch fork. Women are getting more attractive. Men on the other hand are not evolving on the hotness scale. I didn't say it. Some researchers in Finland found this to be the case.

Apparently beautiful women tend to have 16% more children than plain women (I bet they don't stay beautiful for long after giving birth. Kids consume lots of time.) I digressed. Beautiful women tend to give birth to attractive girls who in turn have more attractive daughters.

Men did not evolve the same way. Women don't put the same premium on looks so men haven't had to evolve in the attractive department. I am sure men have evolved in many ways. Lets list some.

Fifteen Years in the Future...

What do we know about the future?

In 1985, Ebony magazine imagined what Michael Jackson would look like in the year 2000, at age 42.

This was their prediction: a vaguely Billy Dee Williams sort of character.
