Try and cash this $360 billion cheque

:  
Charles Fuller trying to cash fake cheque
When I was a kid, I once tried to make fake money. With green crayons.

I don't know why it seemed like a good idea, but I definitely had no doubts about my ability to make the fake bills. I was confident that I could replicate all the fine lines.


Naturally, my end result was awful. My mom saw what I was doing, screeched at me and shredded up the fake note. I wasn't devastated, though... after drawing the bill, I realized that it was a lot harder than it looked.

It's that bit of comprehension about the world that kept me from trying something this stupid: Man accused of trying to cash check for $360,000,000,000

I'm not sure what went through this guy's mind... why he thought it was reasonable, or why he thought he could get away with it. Like he'd cash the bill, the teller would exclaim softly, then call a fleet of armoured cars to haul away the man's $360 billion. "Small bills, please."

"A man has been accused of attempting to pass a $360 billion check, which he claims was given to him by his girlfriend’s mother to start a record business, Fort Worth police said"

Eating in NYC for 99 cents

:  
99 cent store in NYC
I wouldn't recommend anyone trying this, but it is an interesting experiment....

We've all seen the proliferation of these '99-cent' stores, popping up all over the place, offering cheap, poor-quality products for exactly as much as you're willing to pay for them: $1

Urinal Etiquette is getting serious

:  
Urinal Etiquette is the unwritten laws of the men's bathroom which dictate which urinal you should use.

The problem with newspapers

:  
There's been a long, painful last hurrah for the traditional newspaper... with the advancement of online news journalism, your mom-and-pops newspaper, read in the morning at the breakfast table and on the train, has face dire competition.

After all, if something really incredible happens, what are you more likely to do: go online and read about it right now, turn on the TV, or wait till tomorrow morning for the news to come in the paper

Starbucks is helping the small coffeehouses

:

Starbucks grew so fast and so viciously that everyone got a bad taste in their mouths whenever they saw one. We've got one in my neighborhood and it's busy, as people that like Starbucks really like it.

One thing that people really hate about Starbucks is their competitive strategy. They're well-known for buying into an area just to put other coffee shops out of business, and they've got ruthless marketing techniques

Cereal is Dope

:  
Internets Celebrities Cereal is Dope
I didn't make this video, but I wish I did... these two dudes are Internets Celebrities, made a video about horrendously sweet cereal that you can buy in the supermarket.

It might shock and dismay you to learn that you can get Cocoa Puffs, Reese Pieces Puffs and Cookie Crisp, cereals that approximate the experience of eating a bowl of chocolate, peanut butter candies, or simply, a bowl of cookies. Why not
