Interesting: Our Tax System Explained
I saw this the other day and found it interesting... Probably not 100% accurate but it seemed worth a re-post.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The … [Read more...]

Bigfoot was a Hoax – Again
Amazingly enough, my last Bigfoot post has turned out to be a hoax!! According to an article over at National Geographic it was merely days after the latest announcement that the siting/find of the body was discounted. According to the report... Some "ominous" signs started showing up during the "testing" of the body. When the "hairs" plucked from the body were burnt for testing, they "melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair." More ominous signs emerged as the ice encasing the body began … [Read more...]
