Psych – Truer Lies

Posted by Dizzy Miss Lizzy When a compulsive liar is taken into custody for murder, only Shawn believes his innocence. Lyin’ Ryan, played by Jonathan Silverman, is actually telling the truth this time. Perhaps Shawn is drawn to a kindred spirit of sorts, or maybe he just wants to show up the Santa Barbara Police Department. Either way, he drains the Psych savings to bail out Ryan and investigate the case. I’d explain more of the plot, but it’s very convoluted. For a show that takes liberties with plot on a regular basis, this episode is even less coherent than […]

Danica McKellar Part Of The Science Channel Equation

Posted By Jeff Pfeiffer Mathematics has been referred to as the “Queen of the Sciences.” But the “Queen of Math” may very well be Danica McKellar. The actress best known as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years also happens to be quite brilliant — she graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and while there helped author a paper with a professor and another student called the “Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem.” Please don’t make me try to explain what it’s about.

Nickelodeon Puts Decision 2009 In Kids’ Hands

Posted by: kjpaloucek Yeah, the Grammys are this weekend and the Oscars are coming up, but the kids don’t care about them — the stuff they like never wins, anyway. Fortunately for them, Nickelodeon’s 22nd Annual Kids’ Choice Awards nominations are out, and starting March 2, kids will be able to go online at nick.com/kca and pick their favorites. The Kids’ Choice Awards is always a pretty messy affair, with lots of Nickelodeon’s patented green slime. (It’s a secret recipe. I asked.) And it’s usually a pretty fun gig for the host as well. In recent years, Justin Timberlake and […]

10 Items Or Less: The Whistler

Posted by Ryan The Greens & Grains is doing a (mostly) very sexy car wash for charity, and they made a modest $86. Mercy Jones, manager of SuperValueMart, drives up in a sweet convertible roadster (SVM must pay extremely well) and says that the SVM’s charity car wash made over $6,000. Leslie’s feeling down about his complete lack of talent or skill, when he realizes that maybe he should put his talent for whistling to good use. With Buck’s help, Leslie records a CD of whistling classics — Whistle While You Work — featuring songs like “Scarborough Fair” and “Londonderry […]
