[Realtors] There are great, mediocre, and terrible realtors out there. Looking at houses for sale, it amazes me how some unscrupulous real estate agents buy a listing, meaning the property has a snowballs chance in hell of being sold for anywhere close to the asking price. In the meantime, the property is owned for 6 months or 1 year listing by the realtor. God bless Zillow! |

[One Trillion Dollars] (and it is very possible that a few have many times that) 1,000,000,000,000, that’s 1000 billion to you peasants. It’s pretty tough to understand exactly how ludicrously large a figure one trillion dollars is. ‘One with twelve zeroes’ doesn’t do it justice, but instead imagine this: even if you were profligate enough to spend a million dollars a day it would still take you 2,739 years to burn through a trillion dollars. It’s that much money. The owner of such a sum would be wealthy enough to give out $140 to everyone on the planet, or – if the whim took them – buy the entirety of central London at today’s real estate prices, as The London Times has recently reported. If you’re blown away by the idea that fewer than 100 people control as much wealth as half the world today, imagine how concentrated money used to be. Even if Bill Gates took the most extravagant vacation he could fathom, he probably couldn’t cause a regional currency crisis. If somebody were to kidnap any billionaire, would any ransom they could demand send a continent into recession? The old world Kings were much more powerful. Then there is the Rothschild family who live in a small country in Europe! Whomever has more than this clan, we will never know! They sure do not live in the Florida Keys. Link |

[The Beautiful Islands of San Serriffe] The story of the most elaborate April fool’s joke ever printed. The seven-page like any travel feature that newspapers were printing at the time. It featured a map of the islands, pictures of palm trees, an image of the leader, and a short “Guide to the Republic” which gave many facts and figures about the island nation. But not all was as it seemed. The feature was an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke. The islands of San Serriffe did not exist and everything was completely fabricated. Link |
