How come neither of the two professional sports teams from Buffalo, NY are named the “Wings”?
Best advice I can give you: “Live every week like it’s Shark Week”.
As a weekend numismatist I can say, with some authority, that those dimes are quite ugly.
This is interesting. A machine that randomly praises passerby’s. Even though it’s praise, I don’t think it would last the day in certain parts of NYC.
Does “Footloose” really need to be remade?

The Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, Brazil’s statue of Christ the Redeemer, Peru’s Machu Picchu, Mexico’s Chichen Itza pyramid, The Colosseum in Rome, and India’s Taj Mahal. Rumor has it the iPhone was number eight.
College students test sliced apples and Skittles and find that you can wait up to 30-seconds before rogue bacteria hits a dropped apple slice. Perhaps they just don’t like apples?
According to an analyst at Piper Jaffray, 500,000 iPhones were sold between 6pm Friday and 6pm Sunday. Furthermore, the report indicates that 95% of the iPhones sold were the 8GB ($600) model. With that info, let’s look at the numbers:
- Assuming the Piper Jaffray model ratio is correct, 475,000 8GB models were sold for a total of about $285 million, and 25,000 4GB models were sold for a total of about $12.5 million, bringing the combined total to $297.5 million.
- If we use the Piper Jaffray total of 500,000, but use the Josh Madison ratio of 60% 8GB to 40% 4GB, then 300,000 8GB models were sold for a total of $180 million, and 200,000 4GB models were sold for a total of $100 million, bringing the combined total to $280 million.
- Ratatouille, according to Box Office Mojo, brought in $47.2 million for the weekend.
Clearly, the iPhone won. Was there really any doubt?
