    Do do know that Star Wars day is just a manufactured holiday pushed by the greeting card industry, right?

    a LOST FORTUNE to be found:

    In February 2016, two months after Gizmodo and Wired published parallel investigations suggesting that Wright and Kleiman may have been involved in inventing Bitcoin, Ira Kleiman came back to the court, asking to reinstate his rights as his brother's beneficiary. Kleiman's petition cites "potential unknown assets," of unknown value, in his brother's estate, which were not counted in the original court filings.

  7. This is an important issue.
    We don't want some slipshod low-ball bid construction to cause solar energy spills that contaminate the environment and poison wildlife. If they don't correctly build the solar ash retention ponds, a rupture could pour hundreds of thousands of gallons of poisonous solar waste into the rivers.

    To be fair, if I was driving on the highway at night and a deer jumped out in front of the car I was driving,
    I too, would reboot myself.

    John McAfee needs to lay off the bathsalts for a while and engineer a bacteriaphage to guard our sensitive USB ports.
