I got my tax refund in the mail today and I’ve gotta say that I was not thrilled about the money I received. I thought it could have been much more that’s why I’m looking closely at car donation for next year. I’ve been driving around in my red Ford Explorer for years. It’s really time that I upgrade to a nice ride. At least by doing this I would be eligible for a tax reduction and would be giving for a worthy cause as well. I’m actually looking into donating my vehicle to Car Angel (CarAngel.com). It’s a non-profit organization and all of the money they make from selling donated cars and other items is used to make various childrens videos.
Here is a clip from one of their childrens videos:
According to news reports, the smartest man in America lives in Northern Missouri.
…Christopher Langan lives on a northern Missouri farm surrounded by fields and animals. For decades he has worked on a theory. But if you see what he writes, how much of his cognitive theoretic model of the universe would you understand?

Some of you may have already seen this video, but for those of you who havent, check it out. Its from a pawn shop in New Orleans and shows this guy teaching his 2 year old son how to hold and operate an AK47 assault rifle.
Some of you may have heard about this, but apparently the Thai government has blocked access to YouTube after a video was found to be critical of the country’s king. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me.
Communications Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said the site was banned after a 44-second film showing graffiti over the king’s face was aired.
