I know it’s wrong, don’t blame me for being a bad sport. I beat her every time , she just doesn’t stand a chance. We play checkers every night, and I just can’t let her win!
And here you were, thinking I beat her senseless , no , no, its just checkers. Maybe I don’t even have a wife.

cat gets stick
This cat is so happy! He finally can has that weird pink thingy. Just watch this when you’re not all 100% ok, it looks way more amazing… if you know what we mean. Continue Reading…
When you think of old age, 70 sounds about the right time to die, right? Well not for the Galapagos giant tortoise! The average lifespan of a Galapagos Giant Tortoise is almost 180 years!
Then it comes as no surprise that these animals could possibly have this longevity due to the fact that they are so freaking slow. The average weight of these reptiles is just barely below half a ton!
They tend to eat their weight in shrubbery , being dedicated vegetarians, on a daily basis. Not only that, but the shell is literally such hardened calcium , which grows thicker each year, that even modern rifle rounds might have difficulty penetrating it!
We lied, sort of, this animal was not discovered. Rather, back in the day, Charles Darwin himself found them. Quoting them as being rather “amusing” in his work “on the origin of species”.
If you ever see one, gtfo out of it’s way! This thing could bulldoze you at the speed of well… a tortoise.
And you know what? At age 180 , they are still going strong! No ED , nothing!

Following in the footsteps of Grumpy Cat , Princess Monster Truck promises to bring yet another cat into general circulation. You see, much like bub and grumpy, Monster is slightly unique, mainly the sharp fangs and rough hair.
To commemorate this “rising star” , here are a few images of the “to be” Internet pop sensation!

The world’s largest tree isn’t a redwood in the forests of North America. No, No, it’s actually a cashew tree is located in Natal, Brazil. It is , surprisingly a cashew tree.
If you look at this thing from an areal view, it’s pretty boring. In fact, it looks like a bunch of trees , bundled together into a small “forest” like structure.
This however is just one tree.

A stunning picture has surfaced! An extremely rare glimpse of a diver with a whale in front of him, caught on the purest of underwater imagery! This here is truly just a stunning image to behold!
Also note, these occurrences are very rare , and even more rare are they documented in imagery!

Dressing up your cat and taking pictures can be a very…. different experience. Some cats love to be dressed up, others become depressed. Some might even lunge at you. Anyways , here are three essential things to try.
First, you must try a bow-tie.
A bow-tie is simple, yet it communicates the message of “hey, I am human too” , not to mention any cat with a bow-tie looks so adorable.

It’s that manly time of year again everyone. It’s time to cut dried out branches off trees to prevent termites. It’s time to trim those coniferous “out of shape” hedges that push in every direction. And , its also time to pick up all the pincecones that have collected all over the ground–also those pine branches.
Now as you may know from experience, all these plants leave their blood all over your clothing, hair and mostly, hands (and man it’s sticky!).
You probably tried the old “raw gasoline” trick , and therefore you know that it sort of fails. You could use all the hand-soap you want, and nothing will happen.
Surprisingly, there is an easy solution to getting rid of this messy sap! Just use Hand Sanitizer!
We don’t exactly know what is in hand sanitizer (maybe it’s better we don’t) , but it works like a charm! Just remember that when using it on your hair, never go to the root, it may kill the follicle and you can go bald!

Money sucked into wormhole
In 1901 , colleges that now cost upwards to 48,000$ /year only cost 100$ per year. We know that much like the famous 5 cent coke bottles of the time , and 5 penny per gallon gas, the prices were due to lack of inflation of the American bank note. We actually wrote about why American money has fallen in value here “American Money Value Drop“.
Even though on the global field , the US dollar has dropped in value over 95% (and falling) in the past century , this would logically mean that University prices should not exceed 1000$/year , right?
Well, to our dismay , it appears that the lack of value in association with the U.S dollar has nothing to do with the made-up prices of colleges these days. You see, back in the day all of our colleges were well-funded by large corporations , this included GM and GE. The reason for this explicit funding was the “trickle down” concept.
SEOs of the day didn’t exactly have the power or status they have today, but regardless, they saw that “investing in public higher education would create more educated people, then these educated people would be hired by companies like GM and GE , and these companies would then have competent, and well earning employees.
This concept is still strong in countries that surround us , like Mexico and Canada. Then it comes as no surprise that we are the only country in the world where nobody below a certain “wealth” line can rationally afford higher education. Books alone for a single semester in a five class schedule add up to 1000$, and are not covered by federal loans –this means they are all out of pocket expenses.
Just imagine a family where the father is a construction worker and the mother is a schoolteacher. Under such circumstances, the combined total income of the family is usually below 70,000$ /year. A child in such a family can’t possibly dream of attending Harvard law school , 58,000$/ year is an irrational sum to pay for 7 years.
And how did Harvard go from 100$/year to well over 58,000?
We already mentioned the key components of the business model , and why schools that are run for personal profit are ruining this country here: “Why does the American schooling system suck so bad?” . We discussed how federal tax money is used to fund private “business type” universities.
Now to add on to this. The main contributer to the inflation of prices is the lack of support from large corporations. You see , companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google and even Verizon no longer need Americans to work for them.
Aside from management and micro-management, large corporations have realized that the 300 million people of the united states are just a small dot on the global market , as we see with China and India , which both house populations in the Billions.
As a result of trying to get cheap labor, the Chinese and Indian higher education systems are now getting backed by American “large corporations”. In return , their education systems are training more and more professionals. Then these “professionals” work for far less than an American of the same status would. I guess you can call this an effect of the failures of the “laissez faire” model. Continue Reading…
