Don't swim in this Aquarium
It's a thought that haunts the over-stimulated, over-movied imagination: a school of hungry piranhas eating you alive. And while our Café writer Jason Sheehan would have preferred that fate to the time he spent at the restaurant inside the Downtown Aquarium (see "Finding Nemo," his 2005 review), staff writer Joel Warner was merely concerned that someone could lose a finger in the uncovered piranha tank there. But when he tried to get to the bottom of this fishy situation, as he reports in our

Pantsless Vail skier gets viral fifteen minutes of fame
As reported with merciless pix on TheSmokingGun and with keen analysis by our own intrepid Joel Warner ("New Ski Move Spotted at Vail"), a 48-year-old skier at Vail got depantsed on the chair lift yesterday, dangling upside down for fifteen minutes while rescuers tried to get him down and fellow skiers snapped photos with abandon. Short of death or severe head injury, this is about the worst kind of skiing accident we offer visitors to our fair state. One minute you're on top of the world, t

Denver no longer has to wonder: What Would Molly Brown Tweet?
Historical Tweets, a website that imagines what historical figures -- from George Washington to Urkel -- would have tweeted on Twitter, recently waded into familiar territory with the above offering between El Capitano and Denver's Molly Brown. So one burning question has been answered. But here's another: What Would DIA's Blue Mustang Tweet? Those seeking clues can check out Joel Warner's blog "DIA Promo Photo Kicks Ass of All Other Airport Promo Photos" and Jared Jacang Maher's blog "Don't

WTF?!!? A new menu at Chipotle
I have to extend an apologetic hand to both my fellow Westworder Joel Warner and, by extension, the Highland Mommies -- the web message board group in North Denver; See, at Monday's editorial meeting, Mr. Warner brought up a rumor he'd heard that Chipotle was changing its menu. There weren't many details and the story had come to him through a posting on the Mommies message board -- two things which immediately made me call bullshit on the entire thing. "Chipotle hasn't changed their menu in fi

How I became a swine flu expert
A Flickr photo."Quick, call Professor Warner! This porker has the sniffles!" As the swine flu scare spreads across the country, people are desperate for answers. They're looking for experts to give them direction, context and reassurance about this strange new terror gripping the globe. Turns out I'm exactly who they're looking for. Google search "swine flu" and, as of Monday evening, one of the top two dozen web pages listed -- ahead of nearly 2.8 million others -- was a basic little web p

Mile Haiku: Video from the Blue Mustang poetry reading
Almost a hundred people piled into the Denver Public Library basement on Monday to write, read and hear poetry inspired by DIA's Blue Mustang. Organized by Westword, the event... happened. We think it was a success, but we don't plan many poetry slams, so it's hard to say. Anyway, a few of the poems were captured by our own Jared Jacang Maher, and you can hear them above. The first, local cool guy Jared Berger (aka Ofosho), won over the crowd and took home the top honors. Our favorite is the
