The people over at TheSmokingGun.com have released a book of lists of "the most important, scandalous, or bizarre news stories" of the last ten years entitled "The Dog Dialed 911."


Apparently, David Hasselhoff is still big...in London. The former Knight Rider, is enjoying the success of his new single, "Jump In My Car", I guess stupid still sells.




Robert Downey Jr. has signed on to play the lead in Marvel's latest comic flick, Iron Man. Both characters have had troubles with substance abuse...match made in heaven.





"New York City, if you can make it here...you can make it anywhere!", New York's the city of big dreams, but it seems like a dream deffered when inflation inflates.

Over-caffeinated 9-5er's volunatarily pay over $5 for a cup of coffee, which even at will seems questionable, but what happens when the price of everyday items like Milk and other dairy products begin to cost us more every year. New Yorker's will now have to pay $0.25 more for a gallon of milk, and that's only in big supermarkets, prices may vary in bodegas.

Rent is at unbelievable high's in NY, making grown men bunking with roomie's like dorm buddies, an every-day reality. From what I hear things are looking so bleek, that developers have already began searching for prime locations in The Bronx! When one borough becomes over-crowded, they try to promote the next closest thing to the city. I'm going to spare you my rants on gas prices, $2 fares on the MTA, over-priced cable TV, only thing that seems bright in this city is...the lights. Work seems like running on a treadmill chasing a carrot on a stick. NYC means different things to different people, but the true meaning became obvious to me when I looked at my expense reports and picked up a check and realized that they are basically telling me..."This is Not Your Check".



The Manhattan School for Children is making an example out of parents, by making them serve detention alongside their kids, whenever a student is late to school...seriously.

Microsoft has been running around putting up ads all over NYC promoting their new mp3 player Zune.

Not to be left too far behind, Google are doing big things, your search-engine's favorite search-engine just opened up their new a 300,000-square foot, three-floor office that covers a Manhattan city block.
