$47.50 for a cup of Coffee at Starbucks?
by Ron Olson , posted Feb 19 2013 8:58AM

Last year, a guy in Texas set a record by ordering a drink from starbucks that cost $23.60. That record just got shattered by a guy in Washington..who ordered a drink from starbacks that cost $47.30 The key to getting the price that high was tossing in just about every add on plus 48 extra espresso shots. Love me some Starbucks...but...this is stupid.

You might be late all the time for a reason.

Here's the newest made up medical condition. You're not LATE all the time because you're rude or inconsiderate...you have a LATENESS ADDICTION. A new study found about 17% of people are chronically late..and they all share traits, like trouble with self control, which shows that lateness might be ingrained in your personality. Now don't you feel better? ron

Bubblewrap saves Life!

What? How?
On Monday, a construction worker in Boston fell 30ft off a building, but survived...because he landed on a PILE OF BUBBLE WRAP.Some of the scaffolding they were using was wrapped in Bubble Wrap, and workers had been throwing it to the ground. He got hurt but lived to tell the story.
