Eat My Sports: Wait, what?

One of the many things that never ceases to amaze me or piss me off about the New York Yankees is their ability to completely surprise you when you thought nothing was coming. The Yankls, who have pretty muich been dormant on the trade talks all season long, acquired Ichiro Suzuki. You know, the Japanese version of Pete Rose that never, ever slows down or loses any of his baseball abilities.

Now, this move doesn’t surprise me that the Yanks got Ichiro, the following things made it just completely weird:
1. It happened on a Monday.
2. The Yankees and Mariners pulled off this trade while playing each other in Seattle, so Ichiro played one game against the Yankees, then suited up the next day for them.
3. Ichiro was on the trading block? Continue reading Eat My Sports: Wait, what?

Some things can’t wait

In more advice on things not to do when you’re committing a crime, if you’re stealing a car, it might be a good idea to lay off the burritos beforehand.

Police say that 45-year-old Wayne Cosney of Florida was driving a stolen vehicle when he felt a rumble, the kind of rumble that just can’t wait. So he pulled over to the side of the road and emptied his bowels. Someone nearby took a picture of this, and when law enforcement went to charge the man with crapping on the side of the road, they also realized that the car was hot.

Oddly enough, alcohol was also involved.

Can I get a price-check on a 1-year-old?

There are a few do’s and don’t’s when it comes to shoplifting. The Guys won’t dare tell you the do’s because we enjoy being free citizens of this country; however, we will say that there’s probably one big don’t that you should put above all else: don’t leave any evidence back at the store that can incriminate you.

Examples of this can be:

Ladies need to keep up

Ladies, if you’ve ever wondered why men finish so much faster when it comes to mating, science finally has an answer: “Sex kills.”

That answer comes from Stefan Grief of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen, Germany, whose team studied bats that hone in on mating flies for buffet-style dining. At night, the flies hang out on the ceilings of barns, which makes them undetectable to bats. But, when the mood strikes, the flies become loud with passion, broadcasting their location.

This, along with other studies, prove that a number of species are at greater risk of predation during mating as the male is weakened and distracted while thinking of dead puppies so that you can finish, ladies. So, maybe the next time your man finishes too quickly, you should thank him. What if there was a bear nearby?
