A woman in Tel Aviv, Israel tried to surprise her mum (I like sayin ‘mum’ because I hear the sweet sweet accent of a British women in my head) by purchasing her a new mattress. Little did she know that the old mattress she threw out had about $1 milli in it. Now the search is on for the dumpster that the mattress went to. Ok first off, who in Israel has a million dollars just saved up in their mattress? I thought they didn’t even have a place to call home, now this lady has a mattress with a million dollars in it? It’s pretty obvious she found a place to settle, now if the rest of them could follow suit. Next, I know mattresses are pretty heavy but damn, didn’t it feel EXTRA heavy with a milli in it? She shoulda been like “well the old mattress is heavier than the new one, that doesn’t make any sense. I wonder what’s in here…oh my, a million dollars!” I think the daughter took the money. She was prolly sayin “mum won’t be around much longer, so I might as well keep it!” Oh, I’m terribly fucked up. But that’s what you like about me and keeps you reading. Seriously, Israelis are stackin chips like that? I wish she was my mum.

Every scientist dreams of a world without ethics. Whenever a scientist sees a set of twins, he or she secretly wonders what would happen if you surgically swapped their faces. They already have a chamber set up to harness the power of their screams as they gradually realize what has happened. Every day, ethics barely prevent experiments like this from being carried out.

SAN FRANCISCO - June 11, 2009 - Yahoo is running an interesting article this morning, titled “7 Ways to Annoy A Flight Attendant.” It got me to thinking that the flight attendants have their own way of annoying passengers, so I thought I would pass along my own take on this subject.

People who honk their horn gratuitously and/or angrily better watch out because they might not have the First Amendment to fall back on if they get in trouble for it. At least, that's what an appellate court judge in Washington said in the case of Helen Immelt, who got arrested for, essentially, excessive horn honking.

The fact that China leads all countries in executions is no surprise. By the end of 2008, China's population was reported to be 1,330,044,544 the largest in the world. But then again, India's population was ranked second with 1,147,995,904 and they didn't make the list of top four! Maybe population has nothing to do with it but rather the toleration level of the culture. Other countries that didn’t make the death penalty list found themselves in the spotlight for being the toughest countries for concerning other laws. In examining laws, certain countries were found to be the strictest in certain areas. The list is as follows:

The second season of HBO’s acclaimed vampire series True Blood is fast approaching (June 14th) and, honestly, we’re pretty damn excited. While the show is already jam packed with memorable characters, being a music site and all, we can’t help but wish that some of our favorite (or not) musicians could make a cameo appearance or two. Why? For starters, because some of them just look like they would fit the part. Others would maybe fit the part, but we mostly just want to see them die a violent on-screen death.

Here's an issue that will probably keep the telecom lawyers growling at each other for just a decade or so. The American Cable Association has asked the Federal Communications Commission to stop Internet video content providers from charging ISPs wholesale access fees to their sites "at discriminatory rates, terms and conditions." The ACA filed their request as feedback in the agency's proceeding on its National Broadband Plan. The trade group represents about 900 small and medium sized cable/ISP operators, many serving rural areas.
