A change machine at a casino was accidently giving out $20 bills instead of $5 bills. Someone accidently loaded $20 bills in the cartridge instead of $5 bills.
It took a day and a half before someone pointed out the problem and $27,500 had already been lost. Here is the link: Link
The funny thing is everyone always claims they wouldn’t do it and yet $27,500 came up missing.
If you happened on this change machine, how many $20s would you take before you stopped?
A new study was released that suggested that fighting in your relationship may be good for your health.
The study tracked 192 couples over a 17 year period. The couples who suppressed their anger had a mortality rate that was twice as high. Here is the link: Link
Are you the type of person who fights in a relationship or suppresses your anger?
A study was conducted by two nonprofit journalism organizations and they discovered that President Bush and his administration made 935 false statements in a two-year period concerning Iraq.
The Bush administration stated on at least “532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida.” Here is the link: Link
Did President Bush intentionally mislead the American people?
Why do we mourn the death of someone we never met?
A story that was based on the Three Little Pigs was turned down by a UK government agency because the use of pigs may offend Muslims.
The judges were concerned that “the use of pigs raises cultural issues.” The story was actually called “Three Little Cowboy Builders” and used pigs as the characters.
The judges were also concerned about other stereotyping that could result from the story: “Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?” Here is the link: Link
Do you think giving up this version of ”The Three Little Pigs” is a small price to pay to keep our Muslim friends happy?

Heath Ledger was found dead in a downtown Manhattan apartment.
I received this message from Saphira07:
“One of my friends went off on a rant down talking Heath Ledger and his movies, and whining that people were upset about it. Now, I don’t necessarily care about the guy(or most famous people in general), but I still think it’s respectful not to say nasty things about someone who just died- whether I knew them personally or not.”
Do you think it is disrespectful to say negative things about someone who had died?
I mentioned in my photoblog that a couple was turned away from a bus because the woman was wearing a leash. Here is the link: Link
In the photoblog, various comments focused on the nature of the relationship. One person said it was degrading. Another person suggested that it was a sign of abuse in the relationship.
Do you think that the woman wearing the leash suggest something is wrong in the relationship?
