The good news: I just finished an online poker tourny where I finished eleventh out of 2,382 entrants!
The bad news: It was only a freeroll (free to enter with very small prize money put up by the poker site), so all I won for my three hours of "work" was two dollars. Yes, you read it right.

What's in your wallet?
For a Massachusetts man, the answer is "ten human teeth". A Wal-Mart shopper who was about to purchase a new wallet, opened up a compartment and to his horror made the grisly discovery. Police were called but with no blood or gum tissue, no D.N.A. identification could be made. A spokesperson for the world's largest department store said she believes it is "an isolated incident".
"believes"? As in she's not sure? Was she covering up the fact that several times a week Wal-Mart customers find teeth in the wallets they purchase?
How appropriate that this story came from Falmouth, Mass.
The Story.

Warning:
If you're thinking of getting one of those payday loans where you borrow a few hundred bucks to be paid within a week or two, think again. You'd be better off selling a kidney. Apparently, the fees and interest rates are so high that many people get into a vicious cycle of borrowing to repay the first loan. I always thought interest rates of greater than 30% or so were illegal, but it seems I've been wrong all along. Some of these places charge as much as 800% per annum!
One poor woman who borrowed $500 spent the next year trying to extricate herself and in the process paid over $6,000 in interest and fees!
Just thought I'd pass on the warning.

Shaquille O'neal of the Phoenix Suns after scoring 45 points against Toronto Raptors last Friday night:
“I’m the only player who looks at each and every centre and says to myself, ‘That’s barbecued chicken down there.”’

Q & A's from around the web
Why do religious people look down on athiests?
The answer is much simpler than you think. A recent study has shown that believers, on average, are .37 inches taller than atheists. Plus, they spell better.
