No Shade For Sweaty Cleveland iPhone 3G Hopefuls
Reader Ron writes:
Folks waiting in line for an iPhone 3G at the Legacy Village Apple store near Cleveland, OH are being told by Legacy Village (the complex, not the Apple store) that they can't wait in line on the sidewalk - even the sidewalk that doesn't have storefronts on it. This is made worse by the fact that today is an unusually sunny day in Cleveland and the sidewalk is the only place where there is any shade!

Can Prayer Lower Gas Prices? These People Think So
Some people think we don't have a prayer of gas prices dipping below $3.00 for a good long haul. These parishioners holding hands around a Shell station beg to differ.

King of Jews, King of Brews
He walked on water, He cured the festering and the blind, He turned water into wine. But after a hard day on the cross, even the King of Kings needed a frosty cold one. But two thousand years later, theologians still wrestle with a truly massive question: what would Jesus drink? More » -

Amazing Phallus Stretching Device
It's Good Friday, and we here in Ireland are a little bit angry. Not only are our Gawker overlords making us actually work today, but it seems Irish off-licenses don't sell alcohol on Good Friday and the theological reminder that Jesus actually drank wine on the day of his death isn't enough to get them to open up, no matter how many times we call the owner's house and scream Bible verses at him.
