A bar in Brazil is using a new beer glass that makes people stop texting, and start TALKING to each other.  The glass is missing a piece at the bottom, so you need to slide your phone underneath to keep it standing up.  That means you can either hold your glass and use your phone one-handed . . . or put your drink and phone down and actually talk to people.

 This is a million-dollar idea just waiting to be stolen.  Except for the part where no one would actually use it, since they don't want to risk accidentally getting their phone wet.

Check out a video here!

At 72 years of age, "Star Trek" and "X-Men" star PATRICK STEWART just ate his first piece of pizza.  (???)  And he decided that it was worth posting a picture of the occasion on Twitter.

He captioned it, quote, "My first ever pizza 'slice'.  Please note:  the authentic NY fold."  (Folding? Really? A definite no-no here in Chicago! - Scott) Conversely - it's been quite awhile since William Shatner's first slice.

As we say good bye to legendary film critic and Chicagoan Roger Ebert, check out the great chemistry he had with his partner "across the aisle" Gene Siskel, in this outtake reel from the 80's. WARNING: May not be safe for work or the kids!

Clucking Funny!
