When someone talks of setting the industry on fire, they generally don’t mean that in a literal sense. Try telling that to Caleb Ganzer, who was recently arrested on arson charges. Ganzer is accused of setting fire to two restaurants and a pile of trash on dates ranging from January 8th to July 12th of this year. Making the case all the more intriguing though is how Ganzer is also in the restaurant business as the managing partner at a Manhattan wine bar. More than that, he’s also a highly regarded sommelier, to the level of being considered one of…

Another day, another Florida Man doing something extremely stupid that results in an injury that could only really happen in Florida. In this case it involves a Jacksonville jaguar. No, not a football player- I mean an actual feline jaguar that happened to be in Jacksonville. Sad thing is, Florida being Florida, you probably would’ve believed the story either way. In this case, our story unfolds at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens within their Range of the Jaguar display. Featured there is a fenced-in area where jaguars are housed. In order to keep people away from the fence, a waist-high…

The idea of automation has long been the bane of labor unions and workers rights activists for decades. No one really wants to be replaced at their job by a robot. Hell, in the legend of John Henry, the titular folklore hero competed against a steam powered rock driller only to die of cardiac arrest after beating the thing. But times have changed since then and the COVID-19 pandemic has created a labor shortage. So what’s a restaurant to do when understaffed? Hire a robot! On July 22nd, the Sugar Mediterranean Bistro in Stockton, California introduced their new hire- a…

Remember Google Glass? If you don’t, we don’t blame you. The highly touted product made waves about privacy concerns given that they were basically face mounted computers with cameras on them. Believe it or not, Google Glass still exists as the pioneer of sorts for the smart glasses industry. Apparently there’s still enough of a market there for a competitor to jump in, which is where Facebook and Ray-Ban are coming together to enter the fray. Last year, The Verge reported that the two companies were planning on releasing a product, one that would not have an integrated display like…

Here at Nerdbot, we don’t necessarily feel like violence is a valid solution to problems. If at all possible, you should probably try to avoid physical confrontation and settle things peacefully. That being said, we also can’t deny that there’s a sense of schadenfreude that fills us when we see a dose of instant karma getting doled out. In this case, that karma was being dished out by three men at a Hunting Beach surf shop on Saturday, July 24th. KTLA 5 reported the story, and were able to secure video footage of the altercation outside Jack’s Surfshop. Though we…

That single copy Wu-Tang Clan album “Once Upon A Time In Shaolin” has been sold by the feds following seizer from Pharma Bro.

For 25 years, its been a wonderful kind of day for Arthur the aardvark in his titular show and all his friends in Elwood city. As they learned to work and play, and get along with each other, we followed along as DW remained consistently annoying, Buster sent postcards from far away cities, and as Arthur clenched his fist in rage. But underneath the memes has been a children’s show that has consistently explored social issues and introduced kids to acceptance and a love of others. While the animated series began airing in 1996 on PBS, the character of Arthur…

Almost a “National Lampoon’s: Vacation” series of events that lead to comical disappointment for one guy and a Pasta Express 2000.

Its been eight years since “Dexter” aired its incredibly divisive series finale. Back in October of 2020, a revival of the show was announced by SHOWTIME. There were a number of people who hoped that this could be the fix that the series needed to wash the bad taste out of the mouths of fans. SHOWTIME has been heavily promoting the show’s comeback and the San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) 2021 virtual event was another big push to generate hype for the limited series. Here’s what happened at the panel, which you can scroll down and watch in its entirety.…

Its been 25 years since Olmec, the giant stone head that guarded the gate of the Hidden Temple, has spoken to us. Many a pair of kids were guided through episodes of “Legends of the Hidden Temple” by Olmec’s rocking voice and the enthusiasm of host Kirk Fogg. While Kirk was the host, Olmec was quite literally the face of the show. We’re here with some great news, because its been confirmed that for the updated reboot of the competitive gameshow, Olmec will be voiced by his original voice actor, Dee Bradley Baker. Earlier this year, we reported The CW…
