Back in February, I complained that Kiss My Face Moisture Shave was packaged with a lousy nozzle, and even got a nice comment from the company’s CEO, Bob MacLeod. I didn’t think much more of it at the time, and I continued to buy KMF in tube form and...

Actually, champagne gives me a headache more often than not, but as it turns out that’s exactly what I got on yesterday’s flight back from London. Somewhere along the line of the checking in process, my window seat got moved ten rows back and a few seats...

The folks who think the bible is a fairy tale have come up with their own stranger than fiction scenario. The British Humanist Association has raised over 100,000 pounds (far in excess of their original goal of 5,500) to fund something called the Atheist Bus Campaign...
