Serena Rampages Through Australia
Playing like a slightly more masculine version of Roger Federer, Serena Williams spanked Maria Sharapova in the finals of the Australian Open yesterday, winning 6-1, 6-2.

We've never been to Japan, but we have heard many stories, most notably about all the varied ways a blond girl from the United States could make some really easy and strange money simply by hanging around with uptight Japanese businessmen half her height. We always chalked these up to urban legen...
