As a Hindu living in America, one of the most irritating questions I have to deal with is, “Dude, why do your people worship cows?” To put this into perspective, it’s like asking a Christian why they worship the cross or asking a Jewish person why they worship the Star of David. It’s symbolic of something greater.
So to clear the READ MORE
Happy groundhogs day, everyone. For those of you who don't know what Groundhog's Day is, it's a tradition that dates back to the 1800's in which a groundhog forecasts the weather. Yep, that's pretty much sums it up. A guy pulls a groundhog out of the ground and Bill Murray replays that day over and over again. The end.

Here at Bro Council we like to bring you late-breaking news. Well, today we failed. Apparently way back in 2008 something big happened and we were not yet launched. So we missed this gem of a headline: "'Kick a ginger' day left redheads with legs covered in bruises".
We can't just leave this amazing headline alone. So first, here READ MORE
So this past Tuesday night, concertgoers at the New York Philharmonic had their performance interrupted. By an iPhone. The conductor, Alan Gilbert stopped the performance of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony when iPhone ringtone sounded, and didn't stop.
That's kind of funny. But I read a story on the internet about it that frustrated me.

The Miss America Pageant is this weekend. Why is that important for the Bro Council readers? Well, number one: obviously we're selecting the woman who is going to represent the US as Miss America for the next year. It's almost as important as the election for president next year. I mean, it's pretty close...
And number two: one of READ MORE

SANTA ANA, Calif. -- A Southern California man broke into his ex-girlfriend's home and slipped into her bed to cuddle, Orange County sheriff's Lt. Roland Chacon said. Augustin READ MORE
Now I've don't a lot of stupid things thanks to alcohol, a list far far to long list here - even though they are fairly entertaining. But I was always aware enough to avoid police...mostly! From Bro Council's own backyard, and neighboring county to our north I bring you the following debacle:

“That you may illuminate your dream this Christmas.” That's what this Christmas card says. Really. My dreams have never been about a jaguar eating an antelope in front of my smiling family. Maybe that's a traditional dream in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The mayor of that fine city, Jorge Santini, just sent out a card and that's exactly READ MORE
So this weekend, a misguided man tried to rob a guy at gunpoint. Problem was, the other guy was a mixed martial-arts expert. Even though Guy #1, Anthony Miranda - AKA the dumbest gangster ever, had a gun he wound up on the losing side of this match.
The 24 year old guy you see on the left with the awesome designs shaved into his READ MORE
The Alameda County Sheriff's Department bomb range is a fun place if you're a Mythbuster or a fan of the Discovery Channel show. It's the place where Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage go to blow things up. Did you ever wonder how far away from civilization a place like that is? Well, apparently it's too close to be firing off some of READ MORE
I've been egging, played mailbox baseball, heck I've even exchanged gunfire with a farmer borrowing some of his corn...ya' know we just wanted to spread the Halloween spirit. OK, so it was BB guns and bottle rockets versus his shot gun loaded with rock salt. Yes, it does sting. But I never thought to chuck a pumpkin at someone. READ MORE
There's all kinds of things that wash up on the beach; driftwood, messages in bottles, and Cubans are all things that immediately come to mind. Giant Lego men aren't high on my list of potentials though.
Jeff Hindman found one this week though. Jeff is a Florida resident who found an 8 ft., 100 pound giant Lego man on the beach this READ MORE
If you don't remember Steven Slater's name, you probably remember him as the legendary JetBlue flight attendant who freaked out at a passenger in summer 2010, grabbed some beers off the airplane, pulled the emergency chute and slid down in a blaze of glory. As much as everyone would love to quit our jobs (not our Bro Council jobs, READ MORE
I lived in southern Ohio for four years, and I saw a lot of strange stuff. I once saw a drunk guy dressed as a lobster play hide-and-seek on a public street with a gigantic stuffed bulldog on a Tuesday night unrelated to Halloween. I saw six guys dress up as GI Joes and pose as statues for three hours straight and I even saw an READ MORE
