No Work And Lots Of Money


A New Jersey company paid A man half a million dollars. But there is just one thing that's a little different....he didn't work for the company.Anthony Armatys got hired by a telecommunications giant Avaya for more than 100,000 a year. This happened in 2002. But then he decided to not take the job, but the payroll department was uninformed. So for five years he got paid for doing absolutely nothing. But later he pleaded guilty for second-degree theft and had to pay $470,995 back to Avaya. Also a 6 year jail sentence. I have a lot to say about this. For one thing, how can you be so stupid to pay someone for a job there not doing. I wonder how they managed to do that. Also I find this pretty funny. The idea of a person getting money for doing nothing makes me laugh. Also I am suprised the guy accepted the paychecks. If the payroll department was Accidently giving me money, I would tell them so they could stop and things could be fair. Well let's hope the next time this guys get's money, he is actually working.

It's time to start growing a Mustaches











At the American Mustache Institute (Yeah, they actualy have a American Mustache Institute) they did a study that was perfromed by Quicken. They found out that men with mustaches make more money then men without mustaches. According to their studies, men with mustaches make 8.2 percent more then men with beards, and make 4.3 percent more then clean-shaven men. Also men with mustaches are more likely to get hired.s But sadly, the results also show that men with mustaches spend 11 percent more and save 3 percent less then men with no mustaches. I think this this is really funny. For one thing, How is there a American Mustache Institute. That's just plain weird. But, I do think this topic is very interesting. I think it's cool to know if people with mustcaches make more money then other people. Also, I wonder why men with mustaches make more money. Do mustaches make people look Sophisticated? Well, I would suggest that everybody reading this article should grow a muctache, except if your a women.

Be Careful When You Go On A Bus


Over The Weekend , In Laredo,Texas , The Texas Highway Patrol busted a fake school bus carrying 5,408 pounds of marijuana.(Which is a street value of 1.7 million dollars) The Police stopped a school bus that looked like the United Independent School District bus. I am sure they thought they were going to find children on that bus. Boy, They were in for a surprise. I have a couple different opinions on this. When I saw the article I started laughing because I thought the title of the article  was funny. While I was reading the article, I was thinking the guy behing this is pretty clever. I think it is a smart idea to try to smuggle pot by riding A school bus. No-one would suspect that. But also I think this is very wrong. I personality think it is a bad idea to smoke pot, and when you are driving with 5,408 pounds of it, it is horrible. Here is another thing to think about. In the picture (Above) there is so much marijuana. How would all that fit on a bus? Isn't that to much weight for a bus? I consider that kind of weird. Im am very happy that the guy got arrested for this mockery. Maybe next time he should A box truck.

Is Youtube Making Your Desicions For You?


I am sure all of you know the website Youtube.com. People post videos for other people to watch for entertainment . One thing I have been thinking about is when they delete videos. I feel that it is wrong because when you upload a video, it is your property so Youtube has no right to delete it. I know some people say it is a good thing because it is keeping little kids from watching inopropiate content, but they should just not click on the video. It is deciding what you can and can't watch. Also it is going against the first ammendment.(The Right To Free Speach) Sometimes they delete a video because they are being racist or predudice. That is definitly going against the first ammendment. Now don't get me wrong, I still really like youtube,and all the other websites they have like google, but I feel that some of the desisions that the corporation is making are not the smartest.
