I think computers in general are a bust. A long time ago, everyone drank and smoked pot at lunch, came in hung over, etc. Now, they spend half the day fckng around with their phones, playing on the internet and going out in the alley to smoke.

Michigan is crawling with turtles. They're everywhere...all kinds...small to giant.  There's a lot of water here but, Jesus, this is no place for reptiles. I have no idea where they go in the winter. It's not like they fly away.





I bet if I went back there right now, these same turtles would be on that same log.

This man robbed a bank for $1, sat down and waited for the police, just to get free healthcare in prison

In 2011 a man named Richard James Verone walked into a RBC Bank in Gastonia, North Carolina

One dollar

Then sat down in the lobby and waited calmly for police to arrive

He was 59. No job. No insurance. A growth on his chest. Two ruptured discs.

Calculated that a federal conviction would guarantee him full medical coverage inside prison

The judge sentenced him to 3 years

He got the surgery

He got the treatment

He told reporters on the way out he had no regrets

GASTONIA IS RIGHT UP THE ROAD FROM ME.

PRETTY SOON PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GET THEIR PHONES SURGICALLY IMPLANTED IN THEIR ASSHOLES. HOW CONVENIENT IS THAT?
