My 7 year old Grandson went from nothing but Mario, Mario, Mario to Minecraft over night. I'm guessing the "cool' kid in 1st grade says Mario sucks and Minecraft is where its at. So now my daughter will sell a thousand dollars worth of Mario crap that she, the Grand parents and birthday party friends have bought for him the last 2 or 3 years for pennies at a yard sale. Life goes on.

What It’s Like to Carry Your Nobel Prize through Airport Security
“When I won this, my grandma, who lives in Fargo, North Dakota, wanted to see it. I was coming around so I decided I’d bring my Nobel Prize. You would think that carrying around a Nobel Prize would be uneventful, and it was uneventful, until I tried to leave Fargo with it, and went through the X-ray machine. I could see they were puzzled. It was in my laptop bag. It’s made of gold, so it absorbs all the X-rays—it’s completely black. And they had never seen anything completely black.
“They’re like, ‘Sir, there’s something in your bag.’
I said, ‘Yes, I think it’s this box.’
They said, ‘What’s in the box?’
I said, ‘a large gold medal,’ as one does.
So they opened it up and they said, ‘What’s it made out of?’
I said, ‘gold.’
And they’re like, ‘Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?’
‘The King of Sweden.’
‘Why did he give this to you?’
‘Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.’
At which point, they were beginning to lose their sense of humor. I explained to them it was a Nobel Prize, and their main question was, ‘Why were you in Fargo?’”

The Browns beat the Steelers. By 21pts.
That was a beautiful thing wasn't it?
Sir Alexander Fraser Tyler A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.

Ghost town on the market in Connecticut
(MyFoxBoston.com) -- Why buy a house when you can have the whole village? Just in time for Halloween, a ghost town is on the market in Connecticut.
For $800,000 you can buy the historic 19th century village of Johnsonville. According to Boston.com, bidding will begin on October 28th for the 62-acre town.
It's been deserted for years, but several historic buildings still stand, including a General Store, carriage house, and the former mansion of the village's founder.
The village sits about thirty minutes from Hartford and was even featured in a Billy Joel music video.
