Inspired by the Globe and Mail’s caption writing person, we waste our time writing funny picture captions for some of the more interesting photos we come across when blogging. So here are some of the best pictures from the past week with a funny (-ish) caption. Continue reading
F1 2012 Season Preview: Predictions
It’s time for the third and final part of our Formula One season preview. With the examination of the teams, drivers, and new rules out of the way, it’s time to put all of the information we have together for predictions for the 2012 season. Of course, the combination of the new rules and testing times is not necessarily an accurate portrayal of who’s fast which makes predicting the season a difficult proposition. Especially since most teams and drivers are saying they expect a mixed up grid at least until we get the first major car updates at the start of the European portion of the season. Continue reading
2012 Hottest Canadian: Maritime Region – First Round
We’re down to the final of our four regions in our first Hottest Canadian showdown. When creating the bracket, we ranked all women from 1 to 32. By coincidence, then, the Maritime Region has become the underdog bracket. I’m not sure if any of these eight women today would come to mind when picking a #1 overall seed but they all could walk away with the crown. Continue reading

2012 Hottest Canadian: Prairies Region – First Round
The Prairies Region is third up in our 2012 Hottest Canadian bracket showdown. After two days, we’re geared up for a couple of surprising upsets and who knows which of the higher seeds might fall next.

F1 2012 Season Preview: The Rules
Welcome to part two of our 2012 Formula One World Championship season preview. Today, we look at the new rules that have been implemented this season. In the continuous search to lower costs, level the playing field, improve safety and increase the quality of races, the FIA have put into place several new rules for this season. Last year’s rules suited Red Bull quite well as they and Sebastian Vettel dominated the championship. Will this year’s new rules put someone else on top? Continue reading
Wednesday Link-Off: Twitter Wars
It’s a busy week on the blog this week between the Hottest Canadian bracket and our 2012 F1 season preview. But we still have time for the mid-week links. To kick things off, we have… Miley Cyrus? I guess she’s not banking on Disney dollars anymore. And that’s a good thing.
The latest Twitter feud wasn’t so much a fight as an absolute massacre. It was Norm McDonald vs. Rick Reilly. If this was a boxing match, Norm would’ve won by KO in the first sixty seconds. (Awful Announcing)
For such an influential man in many lives, Don Cornelius’ death went by without much of a mention. The Times profiles the man and his fall from grace. (New York Times)
The new purpose of the Gawker Media Group is to out people behind anonymous comedy Twitter accounts. This includes their recent investigation of @DadBoner. (Deadspin)
After the jump, March Madness, the science of video game difficulty and Community returns tomorrow. Continue reading

Among today’s eight competitors are five actresses, one model, one model slash TV commercial star and an Officer of the Order of Canada. Continue reading

Last season saw Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel dominate the season en route to their second consecutive championship.
