Tourists, theatergoers, shoppers and pub patrons in London’s West End can now text the word “toilet” — and receive a text back with the address of the nearest public facility…
The council said it hopes the service will stop people from urinating in alleyways, saying some 10,000 gallons of urine ends up in Westminster streets each year.
How do you figure…
It’s not often that I catch myself saying, “boy, I wish I saw that tennis match.” I’ve had a couple of those moments this week. Every time I catch the result from the exhibition matches between Roger Federer and my boy, Pete Sampras, I feel a twinge of regret. I heard about the matches a little while back, and I cringed at the thought. Federer is crushing everyone he faces…
There are a few of you out there who know I have no love of the local news – as presented by our local television stations.

The weather personality said it was pretty cold outside, and we should all allow a few extra minutes to let our cars heat up before our drive to work. According to two outside opinions…

September 1, 2007: Richard M. Nixon
A word of warning. Some of this stuff can just as easily make…

I’m in a tough spot because I live my life…
I was racking my brain over an antonym for binge, and you can see that I gave up. If you let them, sometimes the littlest things will drive you mad. I had a sudden burst of stubbornness, and refused to break out the thesaurus.
Anyhoo, with Halloween come and gone, I was wondering what the healthiest way to eat a lot of candy is. It goes without saying that the healthiest thing would be to give the…
