Now that Joe Berti has averted a grim fate TWICE in one week, this guy's luck meter is probably close to empty. Lottery tickets out of the question, here's his story.
As if the bombing during the Boston Marathon wasn't tragic enough, throw in the fact that the road race was actually officially dedicated to the victims and their families of the Newtown, CT tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary - And the families were in attendance and seated right near where the bombs went off.
I heard bits and pieces about explosions in Boston yesterday and was out with my kids at the park and drawing chalk pictures on the sidewalk and was largely cut off from the world for the day, so I had no idea of the brevity of what happened in our neighboring state until I came in this morning to prep for the morning show.
I usually poo-poo studies because it seems like you can cite a study to support (no pun intended) just about any position, but this one takes the cake in my mind due to it's longevity. Over the last decade-and-a-half, Some French researchers concluded that bras actually do the opposite of what they're supposed to do?
So, dog is a WOMAN'S best friend? Man, I'm really starting to hate surveys, but guys the sad truth is women are more likely to feel love at first sight with a dog than with you. Seriously. THREE times more likely to be exact. I think I just heard a collective groan from all men everywhere
I remember riding on the bus in grade school listening to New Kids On The Block, but I wasn't anywhere near as fanatical as my female counterparts and every girl had their favorite. Now all of us have grown up and the New Kids are touring again, but if Jonathan was your favorite back then, he's not the consummate performer he was back in the 80's. He had an onstage meltdown during the iHeartRadio show a couple of days back.
Maybe it's the fact that the Utica-Rome Topix anonymous gossiping pages are the most active one in the nation, or maybe it's this nasty weather we're always plagued with, but after a Gallup 'wellbeing' poll, the Business Insider has ranked the Utica-Rome metro area the 11th most miserable city in the nation! Well, look at the bright side... We're not the worst. Yet.
Military jets have had heads-up displays (H.U.D.'s) on their windshields for quite some time and it's been tried out in cars too, not to mention that Tony Stark's helmet display is MAD cool! But here comes the latest generation of heads up technology and just like most of the coolest gadgets we cover, the science behind it feels like it was once again inspired by science FICTION
Recently a mom took her young 9-10 y/o girl to a Victoria's Secret PINK store to buy some unmentionables and created a firestorm among concerned parents so this latest bit from every woman's favorite underwear giant is really flipping some wigs too.
Remember those ads about how you eat a Reese's? Well the question was asked about your favorite Easter treat, the Marshmallow Peep and the results aren't surprising. As a kid I loved eating my food and pretending that it 'didn't wanna die' ("No, no, no.. don't eat me!!") and of course I'm not alone in choosing the head as the first thing to decapitate the poor helpless squishy sugar bird.
You wake up and there's a song in your head or somebody even mentions a stupid song and it gets stuck there all day! They call these little pests 'earworms' and now little beadie-eyed guys with pocket protectors in lab coats have figured out a solution that doesn't involve therapy with a piece of wood marked 'Louisville Slugger'... Although the revelation isn't all that 'scientific'.
With all of the attention on distracted driving while texting or eating or fiddling with the radio, what about your little passengers in the back seat that share your last name? Yeah, a new study put out by our friends down under says that driving with kids is TWELVE times more distracting than texting or talking on your cellphone behind the wheel!
