Creep




'Nuf said. Oh, wait!  I meant the song by Radiohead...  What did you think I meant?!?


This is almost painful to watch!


(L.I.A.T.E.?)




But perhaps it will help someone somewhere with their calculus homework...

I'm jealous of Zimbabwe...


After making payroll last week, they have $217 in their bank account. 

Our gov't has negative $16T.

They've hit rock bottom -- and, presumably have nowhere to go but up.

When will we be able to head up?  When!?!


And now for something...


almost entirely apolitical:

"Over the past twelve months the company [Apple] has generated a total of $47.4 billion in free cash flow taking its cash pile north of $137 billion.[!!] These numbers are simply phenomenal. To put them in perspective, Business Insider noted today that Amazon.com has earned a mere $5 billion in its entire history. Apple generated nearly triple that amount in its last quarter."
And their stock is down 12%.

I probably wouldn't have posted this at all, were it not for the fact that Amazon's recent proclamations didn't meet their advisory statements -- and then their stock went UP about 10%!!

Argh.

You may not have to look far for this...


At least not all the way to England, with all the extensions to unemployment benefits that are tacked onto every Bill that goes through Congress these days.

"Our parent have paid into the system for so long and wouldn't want us to struggle...", say a couple of English bums.

There are other stories that you may have seen about how much someone can get from the "safety net" in this country and how hard they'd have to actually work to replace it.

Argh.

Coming to a school near you...

“I’m picking up my kids and then, next thing you know, I’m locked up,” Jessie Sansone, 26, told the Waterloo Region Record in Canada.

[Police] noted, “At the point in the investigation when it was determined it was not a real firearm, the individual was released unconditionally.”

There are several hours missing between the quotes above.

A 4 y.o. girl drew a gun in school...

This situation could happen to you...

Some people think too much...

For instance, here's an an anaysis of Bilbo's contract from the recent cinematic version of The Hobbit. 'Nuff said.
