I always thought the guy who takes your money on the Cyclone was part of the ride. I'd hate to see him replaced, he's quite a character. ...

Facebook provides one static user experience for all its users. Myspace allows users to add code, and create a custom page. Many MySpace users may have poor design skills, which tend to create overdon...

He gets 3.5 years, but the preppy who set the 9/11 Memorial Chapel on fire gets no jail time? Setting a fire in a densely packed city is much more dangerous than a crappy little bomb. Some justice sy...

This seems like really penny ante stuff compared to some of the other shenanigans our elected officials are involved in. Chisholm stated it best that he was "sloppy" with his personal finances. That s...

I'm assuming it was due to the chilly weather, but I noticed far fewer crazy costumes on the runners this year. How can you have an NYC Marathon without someone in a Borat bathing suit...Wondering if ...

'Zero Tolerance' is a really poor policy for schools. Instead of making rational decisions, based on the facts, they paint a kid who picks up a lighter with the same brush as a kid planning a Columbin...

That sucks. The only reason I've ever even picked up a golf club in my life is because I can walk to Dyker Beach, and it's dirt cheap to play because it's a public course. These goons should have to p...

Wearing a helmet is the difference between a concussion and the NYFD hosing your gray matter out of the crosswalk....

It seems that turning the lights off for a little bit shouldn't be a big deal really. It doesn't have any effect on how meaningful the tribute is. However, people who feed pigeons should still be s...
