Kiteboarder’s close encounter with a huge whale

Now Australian school teacher David Sheridan knows how Jonah felt – or near enough.

Spy Coins

It’s amazing how we can fit so much data into something so small.

On the following pages are exact duplicates
of Cold War Spy Coins. They are all precision
machined from actual coins, and are
absolutely indistinguishable from a solid coin
to the naked eye. They can be safely handled
without danger of separation, and could
easily circulate without detection.

Philly Fix My Car

My name is Ted. Philly flipped my car. I hope they can help fix it. It happened after the world series at Broad and Ellsworth St. at approx. 1:30am. Please help if you can. If 300 people (ideally those on Broad St. who got to enjoy the flipping spectacle) give $10.00 each I’m sure I could get a new car. Whatever you can offer will be much appreciated.
