When I was a kid, I used to read everything from Spider-Man to X-Men, but Iron Man was never one of my favorite comic book heroes. Who would have imagined in years to come that all these superheroes’ stories would become blockbuster movies? I guess it’s like Bonnie Tyler’s hit song, “I Need a [...]

“Mocha choca lata ya ya.” Sing it, Lady Marmalade!
I never knew what a mocha was until I was in college. (Then again, I didn’t know what brie was either, until one time when I ate practically an entire wheel at a college function. Mmm.) Back then, coffee was something that came from a [...]

“Virginia is for Lovers”? Can I sue the Commonwealth of Virginia for false advertising? (BTW, does anyone know the difference between a State and a Commonwealth?)
