Olympic Curler now Grateful for Dad’s OCD

Olympic curling specialist Arthur P. Luck feels like he was born for this sport. It wasn't always this way though.  Growing up in the heartland of middle America, he had never actually heard of the sport until he was a senior in high school. "I always say I didn't pick curling, it was more like it picked me," Arthur said candidly.  "And, honestly, I feel like I have an unfair advantage over everyone else because I have been training for this my whole life.  Those brooms, they're like an extension of my own hand." Arthur's family couldn't be prouder of what he's become.  But especially his dad. "My boy sure can sweep!" Art's dad beamed.  "He's like a super sweeper - out there cleaning the ice rinks of the world.  At every competition, when he comes over to see us, I always say, 'missed a...

Research Shows Many, in fact, have Flown over the Cuckoo’s Nest

It is a misnomer, one that has apparently seeped into the culture’s subconscious, that only one person flew over the cuckoo’s nest. This myth, perpetuated by the 70’s movie classic of the same name, has become so ingrained into our psyche that it is safe to say public perception will never change no matter how much evidence is presented to the contrary. Nevertheless, Iron E-News is here to do its part. Strange birds of all colors, shapes, and sizes, numbering in the billions, have made that fateful journey over the lowly jester’s tree and over the King of fools himself–The Cuckoo--into the darkening sky of intellectual infamy and worldly disgrace. Here are some of the more notable odd birds: Literature Fyodor Dostoevsky – (11 November 1821 – 9 February 1881) was a Rus...

What do We Know about Brady’s Hand Injury? Not much after Restraining Order

Our top Sports reporter, Richard Head, lives and dies by the journalistic mantra: "always go straight to the source". At least that's what he told the judge last year before being told to refrain from any contact (physical or otherwise) with one Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., current quarterback for the New England Patriots, and to maintain a 100-yard distance from him at all times. "Yes, it does make it difficult to do my job," Richard told us.  "But don't worry, I'll have a full report on Brady's status as soon as ESPN does.  I'm gonna live-tweet the sh-- out of their report." After we went ahead and read the latest ESPN update for ourselves, it seems that, "Brady was limited in practice Wednesday because of a right hand injury...He has been on and off the injury report this season ...

White House: “Unlikely Trump said ‘shithole’ because it’s a two-syllable word”

White House Press Secretary Raj Shah released a statement yesterday concerning President Trump and his referring to some immigrant countries as "shitholes". Mr. Shah said that it was unlikely that the president used this term since it was a multi-syllabic word--or, according to President Trump, "it had more than one sybable." According to lawmakers who met with the president in the Oval Office last Thursday, Trump used the expression after retiring protections were suggested for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and some African countries. "The president is fighting for what's best for America," Mr. Shah said emphatically.  "And what's best for America is to fight with everyone else." During the discussion, President Trump suggested that America bring in more people from countries th...
