What would you be willing to do for a chance to win free food for a year? If gyrating your hips to a mildly sexed-up version of the Chicken Dance and sharing the result with a possibly worldwide audience isn't a deal breaker, consider the latest giveaway from Pollo Tropical...
As time marches on, fans of the (now) classic rock 'n roll animal have fewer and fewer groups to enjoy in their original, or even mostly original configurations. The years can be pretty unkind to bands: Members quit, members die, and "the magic" can so easily disappear.Aerosmith has almost lost...
Let me tell you a little something about Germans: they take their jobs seriously. When students there are about 16 years old, they get sorted into different educational tracks -- those expected to go on to college go to one type of high school called gymnasium, while others are moved...

Today's morning post requires a bit of reader participation. Go to Google and type in "Fort Lauderdale." Results will vary based on browser, search history, location, and a host of other factors Google's all-knowing algorithm accounts for. But you'll most likely see that somehow, a long-ago-abandoned and now-defunct URL for the city's...
You can hear the people sing — really hear them — in the long-gestating screen version of that Broadway juggernaut Les Misérables. Countering the standard practice of having the actors in a film musical lip-synch their songs to prerecorded tracks, director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) insisted that all of...
Coral Springs Pig Battle Rages On
