Eat My Sports: Over before we even knew what started

In what wasn’t a stunning move, the Boston Red Sox traded utility All-Star infirelder Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox this week. Anyone who knew the situation knows that this whole thing stemmed from one thing only, Bobby Valentine and Youkilis not seeing eye to eye.

And while the move may have been a necesity, it is still shocking to see the Red Sox’ brass choose to unload a fan favorite instead of getting rid of the actual problem, Valentine. The Sox have been hovering around or below .500 for majority of the season, in large part due to bad management. Youk’s struggling season just became the face of the Sox’ struggles, but never was the root of it. Continue reading Eat My Sports: Over before we even knew what started

Evan’s 10-year-old friends agree: Jenny McCarthy is the best. Mom. Ever.

Her battle with vaccinations over, Jenny McCarthy has returned to the only thing she’s been good at: posing nude for Playboy. The 39-year-old says that she “doesn’t have any qualms about posing nude even though she’s a mom to 10-year-old Evan,” to which Evan’s 10-year-old friends readily agreed.

Have fun traveling the friendly, but dead skies

Luckily enough, zombies tend to be a ground based problem. Sure, we spend the majority of our time on the ground, but hey, as long as we’re not there, perhaps in the sky instead, that shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Except now we’re giving them plane tickets.

A Swedish woman was recently given a refund of 50 percent of her plane ticket after spending her flight beside a corpse. Her seatmate, a mysterious man from Kenya, had been sweating and convulsing through the beginning of their flight to Tanzania, when after the flight had taken off, the man died.

How this man, a person who was clearly suffering from the effects of the Solanum, was allowed to buy a ticket, much less admitted onto the plane, thus putting all of the passengers and potentially more people below in danger, we’ll never know.

Cows: The hidden threat

Sometimes animals attack buildings. Sometimes it’s as simple as a dog mangling pillows in the living room, and other times it’s birds flying into windows, but other times animals stage break-ins.

In Germany, a cow broke into an old woman’s home by charging through a window. Clearly, this cow had planned the attack in advance. First, it escaped from a nearby farm, then it decided to start eating plants in an old woman’s garden before charging through a window and getting into the house.

Luckily, police were called to the scene before the culprit could make a getaway with whatever she had stolen. Questioning of the suspect continues.
