February 23rd, 2011 — 9:05am

Yesterday’s session of the Supreme Court was an historic one. No, it had nothing to do with the case under discussion—a question about whether a microbiologist who tried to poison her husband’s lover with a toxic chemical could be charged under a federal law intended to regulate chemical weapons—but rather it was the fifth anniversary of the last time Justice Clarence “Tightmouth” Thomas spoke during lawyer’s arguments. Let’s all silently mouth Happy Anniversary to him and give him a copy of The Miracle Worker as a present.

Pavlov Was Right, You Dog!

February 15th, 2011 — 10:16am

Anthony Dingle, a superintendent at the New York Housing Authority, has filed a lawsuit claiming that constant berating by his deputy director, Demetrice Gadson, has caused intestinal problems, a bleeding prostrate, and vomiting at the sound of her voice. Gadson reportedly told a colleague, “I did not know that I made men throw up” before laughing hysterically. Her head then spun around and she added, “Your mother sucks cocks in Hell, you faithless slime.” No word on when jury selection begins.

After hearing about the app, Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi said, “One cannot speak in any way of ‘confession by iPhone.'” Perhaps Jesus prefers the Droid?

Hearts and Flowers (and Viagra too)

February 10th, 2011 — 10:16am

Valentine’s Day is a big one for florists, candymakers, Hallmark, and now it turns out, Pfizer. According to Wolters Kluwer Pharma Solutions, more prescriptions for Viagra were written before Valentine’s Day last year than any other week of the year. Until American Greetings comes out with a Valentine’s Day card that’s appropriate to include with this thoughtful—if not completely unselfish—gift, feel free to use this:

On this day of love and candy,
Sex with you would be just dandy.
Accept this gift in lieu of flowers,
Blooms will wilt, you’ll last for hours.

February 9th, 2011 — 3:18pm

Philadelphia police are investigating the death of a British woman who reportedly came to the city in order to get her butt enhanced with silicone injections at a Hampton Inn hotel.

Doctor, It Hurts When I Do Anything…

February 4th, 2011 — 9:13am

Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have discovered what they say is the only legitimate hangover cure. By deliberately getting mice drunk and giving them headaches, they deduced that coffee and aspirin (or ibuprofen) are the only things that really help. So if your mice get drunk this weekend, you know what to do. For the rest of us there are still Bloody Mary’s.
