2011 World Series -- Freed prisoner Ilan Grapel... →
After being freed following a nearly five-month stint in an Egyptian jail during that country’s uprising, Queens native Ilan Grapel received interesting news: The New York Mets won the World Series during his isolation.
The misinformation was a joke played by Rep. Gary Ackerman, according to the New York Post.

There's no place like Buffalo in NFL - NFL -... →
This might be the last simple place left in the NFL. A place where fans navigate tiny roads and pass signs for $10 parking on people’s front lawns, and they can walk to a stadium that doesn’t look like the Emirates Palace. And when they do visit they can find an RV in the middle of the parking lot where a Hall of Fame quarterback tailgates just like them – every game-day morning.

The science is now all-but-settled on global warming, convincing new evidence demonstrates, but Al Gore, the IPCC and other global warming doomsayers won’t be celebrating. The new findings point to cosmic rays and the sun — not human activities — as the dominant controller of climate on Earth.
