Italian TV presenter pretends to be Nicolas Cage, gets star treatment...

Basically this guy looks vaguely like Nicolas Cage (I mean come on, he really doesn't) and speaks with a heavy Italian accent. Somehow the prep work he does fools Real Madrid (soccer club) enough to get him the star treatment....even a free Nicolas Cage jersey!

Review: Dunkin' Donuts Milky Way Hot Chocolate...

Well, to start it smells like the usual dunkies hot chocolate. Taste? Well, it's sort of a dunkachino (remember that?) and sort of like a hot chocolate.....oh, and nothing like milky way.

I think this whole Milky Way combining forces with Dunkin' Donuts thing might have something to do with the power of MARKETING!!! I mean come on, when was the last time you went out and bought a milky way?

If you know me, then you know I had to try it.....but thankfully I don't have to try it a second time.

How much of a difference does a worn tire make?

A new BMW 3 series and a pickup truck are tested using three sets of tires.

One brand new (10/32 of tread), one with 4/32 of tread remaining, and one with 2/32 of tread remaining. Oh, and by the way if you have less than 2/32 remaining you won't pass inspection.

Test was done to see stopping distance on wet roads. The results are frankly a bit scary:

For reference here are some "penny tests" you can do to figure out what your tire depth is:
