This picture can give off many thoughts, one this man is terribly sick and needs to sit down, two he looks like he fell asleep and people are waking him up or three he fainted when talking. Well option three is right, Attorney General Michael Mukasey fainted while speaking at the Federalist Society dinner at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington.
This man is 67 years old and just fainted, he didn't have a stroke or a heart attack and he is already telling jokes and ready to get out of the hospital. These things happen and its crazy that people assume the worst when something like this happens. These things I feel are always blown way out of proportion. The man was most likely fine and he probably just got light headed like we all do and passed out, people made a big deal out of it because he is the Attorney General and he is old. Just remember that sometimes if you make a big deal out of nothing then people can get the wrong information and blow things way out of proportion.

It looks like this man is about to be sucked into the fan and spit back out. After looking a little bit longer, before reading the article I decided the picture looked like a Stomp-type performance. Only this stomp has a half naked man doing the most stomping.

In reality, this man is performing Taiko drumming, which is an ancient Japanese ritual that is being taught in America. An International Taiko Festival is being held in San Fransico. This article is very interesting but I still think it looks dangerous.

When I saw this story, I was in disbelief. Eileen Wilbur,74,  a Wisconsin born blind woman, was alerted by her daughter that she had an overdue bill of 1 cent. If she did not pay it on time, it would result in a $48 penalty.  The 1 cent of her water bill, was from the previous fiscal year of July 2007-2008. 

Yet months later this woman is in danger of having a lien placed on her home. Although the woman and her family are outraged that the 1 cent was not included in the original bill long before, they most likely will end up paying it.  Thousands of these bills were printed and sent out in the same fashion, and the water authority seems unconcerned. Clearly the 1 cent must be an oversight or error, but should this elderly blind woman have to be the one to pay for it in $ or a result of foreclosure?What do you think?

Please just click on this link and read this email account of a guy trying to pay his bill with a drawing of a spider; it's a riot. At first I couldn't imagine what this article had to do with a picture of a spider, but as you read the account, it's hilarious! Just give it a chance, do you think this is real? Could someone really be this immature? Maybe!
