Your Interest Rate Depends on Your Browser

You can get better interest rates depending on which browser you use? I know, I know, it sounds like a load of crap but it is true. Heh, I guess that system is as good as any…beats the usual dice roll that bankers use.

I figured it had just gone up since I received the email. I tried to use their little payment calculator but the flash based widget wouldn’t work properly in the Firefox Beta so I loaded up Safari to try and funny enough the rate offered was 2.7%. I checked in Chrome and Opera to see if it was maybe just something wrong with the Firefox beta and Chrome’s rate was 2.3% while Opera’s was 3.1%.

It’s a happy-potamus!

When Jay Parker told his wife Lauren to say cheese, it seems someone else was listening, too. Otis the hippo pressed his face against the glass of his tank and produced what appears to be a beaming smile.

And when the couple exchanged positions, the three-ton beast duly obliged with another grin. The Parkers, from Little Rock, Arkansas, took their extraordinary photographs during a holiday visit to San Diego Zoo in California.

Welcome to Movember

The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember. Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.

Euthanized Dog Wakes Up

It’s gut-wrenching enough to have to make the decision to let your dog go. Anyone who’s done it knows the agony. But a Redford, Michigan family may have to endure the unbearable: Having to euthanize their dog a second time.

Last week Matt Olivarez and his family said good-bye to Mia, their 10-year-old Rottweiler, who was suffering from severe spinal problems that left her in constant pain and unable to walk. Matt took her to the vet’s, watched sadly as the vet injected her twice, and brought her body home, wrapped in a blanket, so he and his family could bury her themselves.

When he returned from work hours later, he checked on his dead dog only to see that she was no longer dead. Mia had woken up from the lethal euthanasia cocktail — which apparently wasn’t quite strong enough.
