I just wrote a post for Deadspin about Scottie Ewing, a former professional freestyle skier turned controversial Denver nightlife maven, and by “nightlife maven” I mean “owner of swingers’ clubs” and, sez the Feds, “former pimp.” You should go read it! Turns out that Denver is a crazy place, man:

Eli Manning, wise sage.
“Some of my friends still talk about that game more than the Super Bowl,” he said. “It’s one of my all-time favorite games, being in Green Bay, in negative 20-degree weather. If the NFC championship game can be played anywhere, why can’t the Super Bowl be played in a cold-weather atmosphere?”
Aw, Eli has friends! I wonder who they are and if they ever give him playful noogies. He’s just...

Good news for people who are always late and have a Blackberry:
Via TechCrunch:
The idea is pretty simple: Late Mate changes your BlackBerry’s system clock, automatically and on a regular basis, by anywhere from 0-10 minutes. You never know just how many minutes ahead your clock is — or if it’s even ahead. You’ve just gotta do what it says.

A whimsical bus mix-up resulted in a group of kids being taken to Six Flags Great Adventure instead of … school. Adventure of a lifetime, right? Not exactly:
The students became worried when the bus reached the New Jersey Turnpike. The students called their parents and the school when the driver wouldn’t stop.
The driver eventually listened and turned around at Interchange 13A in...
