In the latest offbeat news, a retired man recently turned in over a million pennies. That's over $10,000 to you and me. I once heard that pennies were the only denomination that didn't include the words "Legal Tender" on it, thus allowing people to not accept pennies as real money. Can you imagine saving a million pennies, you get to the bank and they say, "Sorry, we no longer accept pennies." Luckily they do have those machines at the supermarket, but they charge a percentage, so I wouldn't think it would be worth it. In other news a retired janitor from the University of Great Falls left the college $2.3 million when he died. I guess he really did love to clean. I remember in Office Space they said if everyone had a million dollars no one would be a janitor, well, I guess they're wrong. Finally, in Jewish news, Madonna now has a ranking as one of the countries most powerful Jews. She's No. 51 for making Kabbalah "a worldwide trend." For some reason I think this is funny. I don't know, I am not an anti-dentite or anything, but I have vivid memories of Madonna singing "Like a Virgin". I suppose she should change the lyrics and talk about "Like a Married Women", but I don't think it would have mass appeal..

Thought of the Day

"That's stupid, because if everyone had a million dollars, no one would be janitors"

"Samir, I think your missing the point, the point of the exercise is to...stupid fax machine...PC Load letter? What the #@$@#$ is that?"
