I have a friend who works in the finance industry, meaning he gets paid a lot more than most people and does much less work. We'll call him Broom to protect his identity. Since he has lots of time on his hands he searches the internet looking for interesting articles to entertain himself. They aren't always funny or enlightening but then again neither is he. Below is what he found this week:
Girl, 10, becomes youngest to discover supernova: Ok, I'm a huge nerd so I found it pretty cool that a 10 year old started looking for supernova's because she found out a 14 year old had done it and wanted to beat her record. Broom's thoughts, "I don't like how 240mm light years away means it happened 240mm years ago. That sucks".
Man loses $20 million after taking laptop for repair: This is one of those articles that makes me angry. If you have $20 million dollars, you should be bright enough to realize that Opus Dei, foreign nationals, and government agencies are not after you. Broom's thoughts, "you must really have an ego if you think people are surveillancing you".
NYC's coolest pools: I know what you're thinking, Broom sent this one out because he loves nice places and lives in New York. Not true ... well true but not the reason he sent it out. If you skip to slide 12 you'll see the pool that will one day be the "Broompert Gym and Health Spa". (We're still working on the name)
Why Did Gold Become the Best Element for Money?: This article is the rare gold nugget in the vast ocean of links uncovered on a weekly basis.
