A brilliant fundraising idea from our librarian friends in Austria!

Bird Brains...I'm just not that smart!

Bill owns a company that manufactures and installs car wash systems. Bill's company installed a car wash system in Frederick, Md. Now, understand that these are complete systems, including the money changer and money taking machines. The problem started when the new owner complained to Bill that he was losing significant amounts of money from his coin machines each week. He went as far as to accuse Bill's employees of having a key to the boxes and ripping him off. Bill just couldn't believe that his people would do that, so they setup a camera to catch the thief in action. Well, they did catch him on film!

That's a bird sitting on the change slot of the machine.

The bird had to go down into the machine, and back up inside to get to the money! That's three quarters he has in his beak! Another amazing thing is that it was not just one bird -- there were several working together. Once they identified the thieves, they found over $4000 in quarters on the roof of the car wash and more under a nearby tree. And you thought you had heard of everything by now!! !! To think the phrase "bird brain" is associated with being dumb. Not these birds!

Another graduation question

Is anyone sending graduation announcements? I know it is pretty much an invitation for your loved ones to send you money, but let's face it, there is still only one job posted up on the banner.

maybe this is a good way to pay off the student loans

Some dude in Australia sold his identity for 7500 australian dollars! Not really his legal identity, more like his persona. The winning bid gets his haircut, his friends, lessons in all of his skills and hobbies, six jokes, and over 300 cds, to name just a few highlights. Probably a whole lot less painful than selling a kidney on the black market.
