the Stoop: Lil Wayne is Detained because a Dog Found His Love Mary Jane


Lil Wayne's mistress Mary Jane has him in another love triangle with Johnny Law.

Lil Wayne was just instructed to begin his 1 year prison sentence on Feb 6, 2010 and now he and 11 of his touring members have been detained by the U.S. Border Patrol after a drug sniffing dog made a hit for marijuana during a search tonight (December 18, 2009).

As of 6:30 PM CST, Lil Wayne and his 11 members of the entourage were still in custody. We will have more details as they are released. Lil Wayne was scheduled to perform in Laredo, TX this evening and in Corpus Christi, TX on Sunday. Needless to say those plans have been altered.

the OUTER LIMITS: The Monkeys Will Be Kung-fu Fighting (*singing*)



Normally on the OUTER LIMITS we rip a news story from the headlines and create an elaborate dramatization for all to read, but this story needs no additives.

I know right now you're looking at the picture saying WTFington LOL....yep the that really is a Ape drop kicking a man in the head LOL LOL.

As Autty would say ... here's the high level version of the story. A animal trainer taught his pet primates a few marital arts moves and on the weekends they all would go to a local shopping mall and entertain shoppers. Well this day was unlike any day. Basically they arrive at their normal spot and I guess the trainer wasn't given the apes their fair share so they went APE Shhhht on him. They used the same moves that he taught them and whipped the snot out of him. One report stated that one monkey grabbed a stick and started beating him like he was Donatello from the Ninja Turtles LOL...LOL...LOL...

This is a true story I really wish I could write material this great LOL. The trainer was ok other than a few scratches and a damaged ego LOL. I'm sure next time he will stick to playing the accordion and teaching them to bang the tambourine LOL.

the Bank: Top 5 Places to Live w/ Increasing Incomes

Even in the face of a terrible, terrible (*in my Charles Barkley voice) economy with rising unemployment and decreasing salaries, these 5 cities salaries either grew or held strong. With the exception of Bakersfield, CA...each city has an unemployment rate under 10% and salary growth of at least 17% between 2005-09.

Hmmm so if you're one of the millions out of work and willing to move for new employment...I would suggest starting with these cities first.



1. El Paso, Texas
Median Pay, 2005:$41,100
Median Pay, 2009:$49,100
Median Pay Trend:19.39%
Unemployment Rate:9.5%



2. Bakersfield, Calif.
Median Pay, 2005:$51,300
Median Pay, 2009:$60,900
Median Pay Trend:18.52%
Unemployment Rate:14.5%


3. Omaha-Council Bluffs, NE-IA
Median Pay, 2005:$45,500
Median Pay, 2009:$53,900
Median Pay Trend:18.39%
Unemployment Rate:4.8%



4. Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC
Median Pay, 2005:$44,500
Median Pay, 2009:$52,200

5. Des Moines-West Des Moines, IA

the Arcade: Virtual World Meets Reality TV - PS3 on CRACK


What started out as a gaming company is now slowly moving into a full scale conglomerate. SCE or Sony Computer Entertainment has began the process to migrate the Playstation 3's Playstation Network platform into a actual TV network.

This past Tuesday, John Koller (Director of Marketing for PlayStation Platforms at SCE) stated "This is an area we're going to be building out — reality shows and other areas that would live within the PlayStation Network, and only PlayStation consumers would be able to download them." He continued "We're starting to turn the PlayStation Network into an actual network as defined by what you'd expect from an HBO perspective where new and interesting content constantly breaks through." According to the news, the initial programming will cater specifically to game enthusiast, but if this combustible spark ignites...more expansive program will be rolled out.

WOW, WOW, WOW so SONY you are telling me that not only is PS3 the best Blue-Ray player on the market, it also has some of the sickest games and soon LIVE TV. Yep, time to go ahead and upgrade the external HD to 2 TB and the TV to a 55-60". When this actually rolls out...best believe this tech groupie will be a lifetime subscriber.

the Stoop: King Magazine is Back for At Least One Issue


Yep folks you read that title correctly, KING Magazine is back for at least one issue. Back in March of this year, KING Magazine scummed to the same fate that has slowly assassinated print publication after print publication.The massive growth of the Internet over the last 10 years has caused many publications such as KING to close its doors, but for the editors and owners of KING...they are getting the last laugh.

KING Magazine has set their following on fire with the cover release of their commemorative "The Women of KING: issue. The issue which features Video Vixen Rosa Acosta on the cover will include over 82 eye candy delights from the Vixen world.

Now there has not been any word whether or not KING will release another print issue after this one, but for it's followers, I'm sure this copy will not sit on newsstands for long.

At this time, the OURBLOC.com team was unable to locate the newsstand date, but once it's made know we will communicate the message.

the Student Union: Black High School Student Develops a Medical Technique

Now this story here is nothing but AMAZING. Most that know me, know that I spent much of my Elementary, Junior High and High School career shadowing and working alongside MDs at every hospital in the city I grew up. It was a tremendous and wonderful experience to work alongside some of the top Cardiologist, Laser Surgeons, Respiratory Therapists, Pharmacists, Emergency Room MDs, Researchers, Physical Therapists, and Orthopedists in the Rochester, NY medical community. Even though many of my family members called me Doogie Howser, this 14 year High School student is rightfully staking claim to that name.

Tony Hansberry II is a 14 year old freshman who became inspired to research a new way to close wounds created after a woman has a hysterectomy. This thirst for innovative was sparked during his summer internship at the University of Florida’s Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research, located in Shands Jacksonville. As a result, his inquisitive mind has developed a usable surgical technique that will help aid in reducing post-op complications. The bright star is expected to present his findings to board certified professionals in the near future.

This is truly awesome and we thank News One's Casey Gane-Mcalla for sharing this gifted young man's story with the World. Tony, word of advice...never allow yourself to get bigger than the research you study. Stay focused on answering the initial hypothesis and each correlating hypothesis that results from the developing theory. The root basis of scientific research is an inquisitive mind and the World eagerly awaits your future discovers.

Final note, when you reach your collegiate studies...never let the remedialness of the presented material allow you to lose your focus. I say that because by the time you reach college you would have touched much of the base material taught at the undergrad level years prior. That is when mental durability will be required more so than intelligence. Just knock the classes out the park and when you get to Med School, the World will truly be yours.

Make it happen lil man...

the Stadium: Chris Henry has Died



It saddens us to communicate this news. Cincinnati Bengals Receiver Chris Henry has passed away as a result of his injuries suffered yesterday following a domestic dispute with his fiancée.

Our thoughts and prayers are extended to Chris Henry's family, friends,  and Cincinnati Bengals teammates. Chris Henry was earning the title as the "Comeback Kid" after turning around what was once a tremulous career filled with on the field heroics and off the field antics. It's unfortunate that he never got the chance to fully right the wayward ship before this unfortunate incident occurred.

Early reports have acknowledged that police are investigating exactly what transpired between the time Chris Henry ran from the house, hopped into the bed of the truck and when he was found 800 meters from his fiancée parents' home with now grave injuries. At this time, no charges or arrest(s) have been made.

Chris Henry was 26 years old and had 3 young children.

(AP News reported the death initially)

the Polling Station:


Congratulations to Federal Reserve Chairman "Ben Bernanke" for being named the 2009 Time Person of the Year.

Fed Chair Ben Bernanke was named Person of the Year by TIME Magazine for his extremely diligent efforts to thwart the second coming of a Global Depression.

TIME Managing Editor Richard Stengel called the Federal Reserve “the most powerful, least understood government force shaping our lives” as he revealed his magazine’s choice live on TODAY Wednesday morning {excerpt from Laura T. Coffey, Bernanke is TIME's 2009 Person of the Year}.

Tomorrow, the World will find out if Mr. Bernanke will remain the Federal Reserve Chairman. Earlier this year, U.S. President Barack Obama nominated Ben Bernanke to retain his current post for four more years. The World and Global Equity markets will eagerly await Congress' decision. The TIME "Person of the Year" issue will be on newsstands Friday December 16, 2009.

OURBLOC.com would like to again Congratulate Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on his latest accolade.

the Stadium: Tiger Woods named AP Athlete of the Decade


Congratulations to Tiger, Tiger, Woods yall. Despite the media circus that is engulfing the World's #1 Golfer, the Associated Press today named Tiger Woods the Athlete of the Decade.

Regardless of what side of the debate one may be on, no one can deny that Tiger Woods is probably the most dominate athlete to ever play sports. It will be interesting to see if he will be able to retain that dominance once he decides to return to the sport that made him a household name. During this decade, Tiger Woods has won over 50 PGA Tour events and 12 majors. Runner ups for the award were the "Mountain Peddler" Lance Armstrong, "Tennis Phenomenon" Roger Federer and the "Golden Fish" Michael Phelps.

Once again, OURBLOC.com would like to congratulate Tiger Woods on his latest accomplishment.
