Weis fired as Notre Dame coach after 6-6 season

Charlie Weis arrived at Notre Dame flashing Super Bowls rings and talking about outscheming opponents. He leaves one of college football's most prestigious programs without even matching the record of the two men who were fired before him. Athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced the decision to fire Weis on Monday. "For many of you who may have thought that was a foregone conclusion, I would say to you that the decision was harder than you might have thought, principally because of the man it involved," Swarbrick said during a news conference on campus.

Men and women 'respond differently to danger'

Men and women may respond differently to danger, a brain scan study suggests. A team from Krakow, in Poland, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess brain activity when 40 volunteers were shown various images. Men showed activity in areas which dealt with what action they should take to avoid or confront danger. But the study, presented to the Radiological Society of North America, found more activity in the emotional centres of women's brains.

Man in ‘coma’ heard everything for 23 years

For 23 torturous years, Rom Houben says he lay trapped in his paralyzed body, aware of what was going on around him but unable to tell anyone or even cry out. The car-crash victim had been diagnosed as being in a vegetative state but appears to have been conscious the whole time. An expert using a specialized type of brain scan that was not available in the 1980s finally realized it, and unlocked Houben’s mind again.
The 46-year-old Houben is now communicating with one finger and a special touchscreen on his wheelchair. Someones probably like "crap he heard me call him fat back in '94."

Montague woman is 81, with 13 children, and knows how to bag a buck and apparently her hubby!

Guys in the Spring family think it’s a pretty impressive catch. But what’s more impressive, Ron says, is what gives meaning to the shape of the frame. On several occasions in a large family that loves to hunt, Jaine has snagged the first buck of the season. And she’s 81.“I get a bigger kick out of her getting a deer than I do myself,” said Ron, also 81. “She’s pulling a bow that a lot of men couldn’t pull.” As the two sat side-by-side on a recent afternoon, they laughed and momentarily traveled back in time to Jaine’s first experiences in the woods.Ron and Jaine married in 1999 when both were in their 70s. Ron had been hunting all his life, and each fall, at the time bow season launched, he’d camp with relatives at a spot about 15 miles north of Baldwin. There, they’d spend several days scouring the woods for deer. Click on the pic for the rest of the story.

Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo -- who played the calamity-magnet parents in National Lampoon's Vacation and three sequels -- will reprise their roles in a new ad campaign to be launched during the Feb. 7 2010 Superbowl. I wonder if Cousin Eddie will be available for this one.

Browns would give LeBron a shot, if he's serious

If LeBron James truly believes he can help the Cleveland Browns, coach Eric Mangini has an orange helmet waiting for him.
"I think he should come on down," Mangini said, smiling. "I know he's pretty busy right now, but if he wants to give it a shot, the guy is gifted. He's competitive and tough. I'm sure whatever he applied himself to, he'd probably be good in baseball or soccer or swimming." The NBA superstar, who was an All-State wide receiver in high school, said Tuesday night that if he put the time and commitment into it, he could be a good football player. Mangini agreed, calling James "a freak athletically" and said the 6-foot-8, 260-pounder could be dangerous at tight end, wide receiver or even outside linebacker.

Good Job Appleton!!

I'm not implying anything....Just saying somebody wasn't considering what would happen when the sun hit the desgin on the bridge. This is College Ave. in Appleton WI. It just opened last week and I don't think that they'll make any changes since it's supposed to be good for over 70 years....Too funny. Get your mind out of the gutter, right?

Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven Successful By Accident

According to the New York Post (via Spinner), the song only got popular because it gave DJs a chance to go out for a smoke break. You may be thinking, “No! That can’t be!” Well, sorry to burst your bubble but you better believe us.
“Stairway to Heaven” became the #1 most played song on the radio despite the fact that it was never a single. As Spinner reports, “Led Zeppelin didn’t do singles.” The song was never even meant to hit the air waves, but because of its lengthy and popular soothing yet rocking guitar riffs, the public got a taste and demanded more after DJs took advantage of the track. I think that it would have become popular regardless, it's Stairway, it's unbelievable.

Titans owner Bud Adams flips off Buffalo sideline

In an apparent last act of defiance toward all things sane, the 86 year old owner of the Tennessee Titans apparently went down to the sidelines during the closing minutes of the Titans game with the Buffalo Bills and gave the finger - two of them - to the Bills sideline.
I had forgotten what a class act that guy is - after all, it's been a few years since he last flipped us off - at least that we know of. The nice thing with the Packers is they could never fine the owner for flipping off the other team. There is just to many of them with the fans owning the team. I've heard that the owners moon the other teams bus on it way out of Lambeau.

Milwaukee muggers see Army ID, return wallet

A Milwaukee Army reservist's military identification earned him some street cred Tuesday, when he says four men who mugged him at gunpoint returned his belongings and thanked him for his service after finding the ID. The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student said he was walking home from work about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down and with a gun to his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys, his cell phone and even a PowerBar wrapper from his pants pockets, he said. But the hostile tone quickly changed when one of the robbers, whom the reservist presumed was the leader, saw an Army ID in the wallet. The robber told the others to return the items and they put most of his belongings on the ground next to him, including the wrapper, the reservist said. "The guy continued to say throughout the situation that he respects what I do and at one point he actually thanked me and he actually apologized."

Tequila: 5 Things You Didn't Know

Tequila has a bad reputation and it’s because we’ve all been there, lured by its ritualistic methods of consumption and its promise to take us to a higher level of consciousness, but in the end we’re left with a vague recollection of the night’s proceedings, wondering who’s in the bed beside us, cotton-mouthed and crusty-eyed. I put the brakes on tequila cause most alcoholic beverages just make me happier and more sociable, but, tequila makes me cry.

Ah-ah-achoo! The girl who sneezes 12,000 times a day

Lauren Johnson is a typical 12-year-old girl - except that she can't stop sneezing.It is so bad that she sneezes up to 20 times a minute, or 12,000 times a day. The non-stop sneezing began two weeks ago when Lauren from Virginia in the U.S. caught a cold. Lauren can't go to school and is even struggling to eat. I like to sneeze but only once, twice, maybe four times at the most, it can be pretty fun but this is just insane.

Woman Allergic to Husband's Sperm

A new bride discovered that she's allergic to her husband's sperm.
The Daily Mail reports that Mike and Julie Boyde dated for two years and were then married. Their wedding night was the first time they decided to have unprotected sex, and that's when things went wrong.
"Pretty much right after I knew something was not right because I was in a lot of pain," Julie told ABC News . "The pain that I was feeling was inside, kind of like, somebody was sticking needles up inside of me and like a burning, like really painful burning." Julie said she would be in pain for days and that on a scale of 1 to 10, her pain was a 10. "Was there something wrong with me? Was there something wrong with him," she said. Their situation has essentially rendered them unable to conceive as Julie's body automatically destroys the sperm. I think that there might just be a little bit of B.S. going on here. Or wait, their married they won't be having sex anyway.

A 21-year-old Salem man reportedly called 911 to say that his marijuana was missing, but when deputies arrived, he was booked on drunken-driving charges instead, officials said.

Wisconsin man's cheesehead hat reluctantly let into Obama speech, gets president's signature

Liberian immigrant Mansfield Neblett just wanted to wear his big yellow triangular "cheesehead" hat to President Barack Obama's speech at a middle school in Wisconsin, the self-proclaimed "dairy state.'
The first roadblock were U.S. Secret Service agents. They initially told him the bright yellow hat in the shape of a slice of cheese usually worn by fans at Green Bay Packers games was a security risk. The 46-year-old Neblett told them he'd skip the Wednesday speech.

Consumer Reports Puts 20 Condoms to the Test

In the heat of the moment when most couples use a condom, they might not be thinking about how their choice of contraceptive might work when inflated with 25 liters of air.

While there was some variability in performance, it seems condom users are the winners.

Giant crack in Africa may create a new ocean

A 35-mile rift in the desert of Ethiopia will likely become a new ocean eventually, researchers now confirm. The crack, 20 feet wide in spots, opened in 2005 and some geologists believed then that it would spawn a new ocean. But that view was controversial, and the rift had not been well studied. You should buy some property around where this is going to happen. Ocean front property, hell yeah!

Bad moods can actually be good for you, with an Australian study finding that being sad makes people less gullible, improves their ability to judge others and also boosts memory.
