Posted over at Yahoo News, here’s a great story about morons who win the lottery. This article shows exactly why stupid people shouldn’t be allowed to own money. Here’s one of my favorites - ‘Evelyn Adams, who won the New Jersey Lottery twice, in 1985 and 1986, for a total $5.4 million, gambled [...]

Jack Daniels who? A Scottish distillery is bringing back an old recipe for 184-proof whiskey - that’s 92% alcohol for the non-drinkers amongst us. Back in the day it was feared that more than two spoonfuls would kill a man. If you’re salivating at the thought of getting your hands on a [...]

Rumers have been floating around about Dell’s apparent desire to buy Alienware. I’ve got a few thoughts about this of course. For one, why would anyone want Alienware? Sure, their computers are fast, top of the line gaming machines, but are they really that big? Most people have never even [...]

Calspas has this cool new invention - a jacuzzi with a built-in 42″ Plasma TV - DVD player included. I can’t imagine a use for this, unless you’re just so rich you don’t know what to do with your money. In fact, Calspas doesn’t even have a price on their website. And [...]

Good ol George W Bush just signed into law a bill that raises the US debt ceiling to $8.96 trillion. I started off liking W pretty well, but this is the 4th increase in the debt limit since he took office. With his government constantly running deficits, another increase is inevitable. I’ll [...]

The Dalai Lama, not to be confused with a regular llama, is hoping that the Chinese government will allow him to visit China once again. Apparently he ticked off China about a hundred years ago and was banned from the country. I don’t know why, but I imagine it can’t be very interesting, [...]
