This Guy
There is something about the winter / holiday time that forces me to listen to Sinatra. Most people from the younger generation will take one listen and think its some bullshit soft music that their grandparents listen to. They would rather hear the latest Rick Ross hit. Lets get one thing straight, Rick Ross is nothing but a former snitch, Sinatra is a true gangster - Sex, Drugs, and a rock and roll lifestyle, before the birth of rock and roll. He was the original Oceans Eleven. He rolled in the Rat pack. And he would make any modern day rapper pull out their cubic zirconia grill before he made them bite the curb. If modern music isn't getting any better, learn more about the old stuff. Don't sleep on Frank.

Members Only
To be honest, the words ’strict dress code’ usually send us fleeing in the opposite direction, let alone a members club with an application form that reads more like a passport application. But when the design inside is this good, it’s worth considering. The top three floors of one of London’s most controversial, and indeed brutal, 60’s concrete skyscrapers has been transformed into, Paramount, a stunning members club with cutting edge bars, lounges, a restaurant and unrivalled panoramic views of The City....Apply HERE.

Million Dollar Bill
I stepped away from my desk for a moment, and when I returned I found this waiting for me. It is a Million dollar bill. Before walking into my Boss's office to quit my job, I turned the bill over to find this written on the back side, word for word: "The Million-dollar question - Will you go to Heaven? Here's a quick test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, "whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have don't those things, God sees you as a lying thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. That's not God's will. He sent his son to suffer and die on the cross for you. Jesus took your punishment upon himself, " God so loved the world that he gave only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should no perish but have everlasting life." Then he rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus, and god will grant you everlasting life. Then read your Bible daily and obey it.".........Please watch below:

White People Love Black Music that Black People Don’t Listen to Anymore
All music genres go through a very similar life cycle: birth, growth, mainstream acceptance, decline, and finally obscurity. With black music, however, the final stage is never reached because white people are work tirelessly to keep it alive. Apparently, once a music has lost its relevance with its intended audience, it becomes MORE relevant to white people....More HERE.

Webcam to replace lost eye
This is Tanya Vlach's new eyeball. She lost her real one in a car accident a few years ago. She is looking for help in turning her artificial eye into a eye-cam - a mini web cam inside an eyeball. It would capture live video and stream it to a memory somewhere and also perhaps eventually assist her own vision in real time. She is not technologically adept enough to hack it on her own. Help her out HERE.

Mexican Jumping Beans are Real!
A gift shop in the Burbank airport (CA) is selling Mexican Jumping Beans. Here is an excerp from the informational card that comes with them:
THE MEXICAN JUMPING BEAN IS UNDOUBTEDLY AMONG ONE OF OUR CREATOR’S BEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS. IT UNDOUBTEDLY GIVES MORE PLEASURE AND INTRIGUE FOR THE MONEY THAN ANY OTHER CREATION.
REGRETTABLY, THEY ARE DOOMED WHEN THEY LEAVE THEIR NATURAL HABITAT IN MEXICO. THERE ARE NO HOST PLANTS THAT WILL PERMIT THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR LIFE CYCLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT WILL KILL THEM FROM HEAT, DEHYDRATION, FREEZING. THE MOTH SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO FLY FREE IF THEY EMERGE FROM THE BEAN. A SCENIC TRIP AS IT WERE.
[Instructions for playing the Mexican Jumping Bean Game include the following legal advice:] If you wager, make it small amounts. The Government doesn't like gambling unless they get a piece of the action.
