This comment just blows my mind. Who the heck works for the fun of it? That’s called volunteering, not working. I may enjoy my job, but I also work to get paid. I just want to know how to better manage my money so I don’t have to worry about getting a paycheck ever again, but I think that’s called being independently wealthy…not managing finances.

Being a cat owner reduces your risk of heart attack by almost 1/3, a recent study suggests. Well, this works well for my plan to put cats in all institutions: cats in schools, cats in libraries, cats in counselors’ offices, cats in colleges, dorm cats, apartment cats (that prowl the halls of apartment buildings), and so on. Cats are every place I want to be (even more than American Express–particularly when I’ve been places that didn’t take AmEx, and I still wanted to buy something), so let’s put cats everywhere! Yay!

Making money off the sick and desperate makes me feel ill. I often wonder how I can live in a world where people care more about their own bank accounts (when they already have plenty to live on in there) than they do other human beings. This guy’s a real winner:
Martin Shkreli, the 32-year-old head of Turing Pharmaceuticals, stoked Internet outrage this week when it was reported that he raised the price of the 62-year-old anti-parasite drug Daraprim to $750 per tablet, from $13.50. Then he defended himself, Gekko-style, by saying, “I am a capitalist who plays to win.” (source)
How can you not be a fan?

You’ve heard of yarn bombing, right? Well, one library system apparently has a problem with too many yarn books, so they have developed a unique way of dealing with a mass of yarn books at one branch by foisting it upon another branch. I laughed so hard!

Apparently (and after you think about it, obviously), your Netflix-watching behavior let’s the company know the exact moment you go from “I’m just gonna check this out” to “What the heck? This is the greatest thing ever!”
