It turns out that it is actually possible for you to die of boredom. Researchers say that people who experience ‘high levels’ of tedium are more than two-and-a-half times as likely to die from heart disease or stroke than those who are satisfied with their lives.
The plot thickens… remember how Scott Lee Cohen wanted people to talk to his ex-wife about a great a guy he is? Well his ex-girlfriend says that he is unfit for political office. Will he be able to find an “honorable” way out? What do you think his reason will be… I’m going with “in-grown toe nail”
The unemployment rate dropped to 9.7% in January. Interestingly the economy also dumped 20,000 jobs. How is that possible you might ask? Enough people just gave up looking for work to drop it .3%. So does that actually count as good news?
Del Phillips is one of those 9.7%. He’s been out of work for over a years. He’s gotten so desperate for work that he has taken to walking through Daley Plaza with a sandwich board. Would you got that far to get work, or would you be one of the .3% who gave up?
Bad news for all of us, Andrew Young has handed the John Edwards sex tape over the FBI. Please TMZ, I know you want to, but for the love of all that is holy don’t publish that thing. Just don’t.
More zero tolerance run amok: New York girl taken out of class in handcuffs for drawing on her desk.
A kid started a Facebook group about how much his school sucks, and now he’s getting kicked out of the honors society. He says that he’s frustrated that he’s graduating from a “D school” with low academic standards, but the teachers who run the honor society decided that he should pay for that opinion.
A school secretary decided that it was a good idea to duct tape the mouth and hands of a 6 year old student. The secretary was fired and sentenced to probation, but now the mom’s suing the school system for $500,000. Is firing the secretary enough or does the school owe them a little more since their kid was basically a hostage.
Last week it was a 9 year old in China, now an 11 year old girl has given birth to a baby girl, this time here in the US. At least here in the States our kids wait until they hit double digits.
