Ever wonder about what radiowaves carry what signals? Yeah, I thought i was the only one. All your favorite frequencies are here! Like Fox 5 on 76 MHz, your cordless phone on 2.4 GHz, and, er, aeronautical radionavigation on 960 MHz. If you’re an amateur scientist, you might want to check out […]

Filled with carbs at the expense of over-rated nutrients, Choco Milk tastes great and fills you up quick. Although not techincally milk, it is definitely milk like, down to its “milky” consistency, and the […]
Who doesn’t love comic strips? Fascist dictators, terrorists, and maybe blind people, but that’s about it. I mean, how funny is Calvin and Hobbes’ in Braille? Anyway, the point is comics are usually good for a quick laugh, and sometimes make your day. And now that crazy, ubiquitous thing that is the internet doesn’t force […]
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY - Last night, New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey simultaneously declared himself a homosexual, and retired from office.
