Open Ended Question: What Do You Wish You'd Find Online?
Outside of better porn, free money, free beer, a better job, and cheap dates, of course. Got an idea? Post it here.
What Should Stay, or Be Brought Back?
What Do You Think of These Ideas?
And Another Nosy Inquisition
This time, just one answer is allowed.

Wacky WEBnesday
 Nude man beats car with pigeon. A pet pigeon. Loud Barry Manilow and Doris Day music drives rowdies from Australian park, but the neighbors are going nuts. So what are officials considering? Switching to ABBA and Celine Dion. The sadists! More news from "Down Under": Guy smuggles rare bird eggs in his underwear, says he was only trying to impress his girlfriend. Sure, she was going to peek, see a beak poking through a shell, and say, "Look at the little pecker!" Great plan. Remember the Donovan McNabb bobblehead that looked like Luther Vandross? Well, that pales in comparison to the Great Bobblehead Boo-Boo in Baltimore. It was supposed to be a likeness of second baseman Brian Roberts, who's a white guy. But you couldn't be sure from the 20,000 bobbleheads the Orioles decided to return. Talk about lousy marketing departments. They should have given them out anyway, with coupons good at a tanning salons! The dolls, of course, are now selling on eBay. Every year, at the Illinois Championship Cow Chip Throw, so much dung gets flung, people get "pooped"! Sounds like a Phillies press conference. Kitten born with two faces is missing. Someone may have stolen it, story says. Why? Two amazing mysteries: How come English couple, after winning the lottery, wants to keep working at McDonald's? And what the frenchfry does this English headline mean: "FLIPPING CHUFFED"? (As near I can tell it means "Flipping blissful.") In Jesus news: (1) Hawaii man gets tossed in the clink for shouting "Thank you, Jesus!" after being exonerated of child abuse. (2) There's a statue of Jesus in Hoboken that its discoverer swears opened one eye! Photo suggests cutline: "Here's looking at you, kid."
Eagles Rankings Roundup
Some prognosticators can't wait. They have to predict NFL team's fortune even before training camp. Of course, these premature evaluators are about as accurate as a golfer wearing oven mitts. But, hey, if it's football it still fascinates. So here's who's predicted what so far. Bottom line: Everybody thinks the Eagles will be better, but nobody's predicting a return to playoff-shoe-in status. By the way, if you know of an overlooked respectable source, name-drop it in a comment.
Eagles in Rankings 9th. Tied with other 3 teams in NFC East, in odds of winning next Super Bowl, vegas-sportsbetting.com. 9th. Tied with 5 other teams, at 20-1 odds against winning Super Bowl, betusa.com. 12th. Just below the Cowboys, says Paul Domowitch, today's Philadelphia Daily News. 12th. Seahawks.net. Not in Top 10. But Cowboys and Redskins are, says Trent Modglin of Pro Football Weekly. He puts Eagles "on the cusp." Not lower than 17th. Profootballtalk is doing a countdown. No NFC East team's in the bottom half. 14th. Tied with Miami Dolphins in odds to win Super Bowl at 18-1 against. Bodog.com. 17th. Behind Cowboys, Giants and Redskins in Super Bowl odds. MGM Mirage Race & Sports Book. 17th. Online Gambling Insider. 17th. A Sporting News blogger. 18th. Steelersfever.com. A view on the NFC East "Too close to call." Vic Carrucci, NFL.com.
