Health & Fitness > Allergies School districts should bar anyone from bringing peanut products to school: 4 of 43

The idea of banning peanuts and peanut products from schools is an issue of our generation being reared by overprotective baby boomers. A good many of us grew up on schoolyards where you could still get into a fist-fight, without major repercussions. Boys could chase girls without getting sued by the girls parents for sexual...
Autos > Cars Tips for living without a car: 4 of 19

The key to living without a car is location. Being human in the world today requires a few things. Number one is usually a job. Some folks are lucky enough to either be independently wealthy or successfully self employed, but for the vast majority of us we need a job and we need to get there. The average driver uses their ca...
Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles How a strange birth name can harm your child: 3 of 13

"What's in a name?" We've all heard the famous question from Romeo and Juliet. The quote continues "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Shakespeare knew what he was talking about. It is not the name that makes the man, but the mans personality. A name is only strange to those who have never heard it. That being s...
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Hollywood and politics: What makes movie stars political experts?: 10 of 36

The fact of the matter is that people look up to celebrities, Americans idolize movie stars. As an American I'm not proud of this, I'm actually pretty ashamed to think that because of my nationality I'm probably viewed by the greater part of the world as someone who probably knows more about celebrity relationships than how ...
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Online video game reviews: Nethergate - Resurrection: 3 of 7

Nethergate Resurrection seemed promising at first, it reminded me of the old Kings Quest game. All the introductory things made it seem very interesting, the story line involving the Celts and the Romans. The problems came when I started the gameplay, the graphics just aren't good enough to maintain my interest. Now don't ge...

If you're planning a trip to Aruba anytime soon, there are three restaurants that you should try to get to. If you hit all three you'll be taken across the entire length of the island, and you'll see some amazing sunsets.

Autos > Cars How to pick the fastest road car: 2 of 3

When initially checking out the other articles under this title, I noticed that everyone seemed to be pointing out cars like the Bugatti Veyron, various models of porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. Now, don't get me wrong, these are indeed the fastest cars in the world, but how about the fastest car that the average person ...
Personal Finance > Investing (Other) Which is the better investment: BMW or bachelor's degree?: 6 of 8

I feel like this is a good opportunity to play devil's advocate here. Let's forget about the fact that a bachelors degree is pretty much essential these days. A masters degree is the new bachelors, and high school means nothing these days. So, all that aside, if a bachelors degree was nothing more than a 120,000 dollar inves...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Funny stories from the doctor's office: 36 of 47

Things happened pretty quickly on that day in May. I was riding my bike to work, heading down a hill, just cruising enjoying the light traffic, the fresh air and exercise. The leaves had just finished unfolding on the trees, and the last of the dirty snow had melted away. The sun beamed down on my back filtering gently throu...
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Best current television series: 39 of 49

The best current television series is a tough thing to point a finger at. Here's the deal, reality shows are horrible, by definition. We watch TV to escape from reality so watching a reality show is like being stuck in some horrible purgatory, but instead of just being there by yourself, you're there with all the idiots from...
