Guiness Turns 250 Years Old

By

Back in 1759, Arthur Guiness signed a lease for a brewery in Dublin, Ireland, to start brewing his now famous stout beer.  To celebrate the anniversary, stout-lovers around the world lifted a glass of the foamy black brew to Arthur Thursday at 12:59 PM CT, on what the company has dubbed “Arthur’s Day.”

Guinness parent Diageo PLC celebrated the anniversary with a invitation only party at the brewery at St. James’s Gate, while other parties were held in more than 150 countries around the world.

While Guinness has now been around for 250 years, Diageo still has a while to … more>>

Darn Kids–Turn Down That Stereo!

By

One Ohio city is contemplating a law that we think might have some legs.  Apparently, car stereos being blasted at unreasonable levels are a bit of a problem in Lorain, OH–so the City Council has passed a new law that would increase fines for offenders, and give police the option of removing the stereo from offenders’ vehicles.  The mayor is considering the law now.

Hef and Kimberly Conrad were married in 1989, the same year she was named Playmate of the Year.  They separated in 1998, and Kimberly moved into a house that Hefner owned directly next door to the famed Playboy Mansion, where Hefner has lived with numerous girlfriends in recent … more>>

16-Year Old Girls Can’t Sail, Either

By

Many 16-year old girls are excited to get their drivers licenses, so they can start terrorizing the roads while texting their friends (often whom are probably in the back seat).  But one 16-year old girl from Australia wasn’t satisfied with that–she decided to become a terror of the seas.

Attempting to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world, Jessica Watson got off to a bit of a rough start when her yacht hit a 63,000-ton cargo ship on a preliminary 10-day solo journey from her home port to Sydney, where the voyage around the globe was … more>>

In what might be a new record, 21-year old Joshua Bracci of Greece, NY, was given 56 traffic tickets by the Greece Police Department and State Police after leading officers on a 13-minute chase through town, at speeds reaching approximately 111 MPH.

Greece also managed to hit a parked car, and back into a squad car during the pursuit, and also drove with his lights off trying to evade arrest.
