This is cool: Find auctions expiring in a few minutes!
If you have ever heard of Ebay, chances are that you know the best way to find a bargain is the wait until the last minute and place a bid on your favorite item.
This hot little website, called LastMinuteAuction, finds Ebay auctions ending in 59 minutes or less, for a buck or less.
It is a very well done affiliate website, and allows you to search for all types of categories.
I found a Sylvania Radio TV Vacuum Tube for under a dollar. If you're nice to me, I'll sell it to you for $10.00.

Dig to China? Or Australia....
Ever wonder what would *really* happen if you started to dig in your back yard and never stopped? I have.
While I was in real estate school, I learned an interesting thing: When you own land in the US, you actually own the earth below the land to the center of the earth and the air directly above the land to infinity. I digress.
So back to digging, if you take a look at this link, you can navigate the google map to your house and find out where you would end up if you dug all the way out the other side!
Post your responses below, diggers!

Let me ask you a question
So, lets say you are in another country. You have used their bathroom/washroom/loo/crapper and completed a thorough handwashing.
With me so far?
So, you walk over to this contraption on the wall (photo above). There is a label on it. Would you know what to do with it?
Remember, you are in a foreign country - and you don't speak the language or understand their alphabet at all. HELLO? It's a hand dryer, if you didn't know that - hold your breath until you pass out. Start...... NOW.
So, here is the question: Why the hell are there instructions on EVERY SINGLE HAND DRYER I HAVE EVER SEEN. EVER?
Lets draw a ludacris comparison to help the point gel. Why aren't there directions on a doorknob?
1. Extend Hand
2. Grasp Handle Tightly
3. Turn knob left or right
4. Pull/Push door open
Save a nickel - eliminate the useless directions. Thoughts?
