The Roads In North Dakota Are Giving People Cancer
| August 3, 2011

Dunn County, you see, is home to a lot of rocks containing erionite, an asbestos-like substance that’s highly toxic. Unfortunately, nobody knew that until very recently. And so at least 300 miles of roads in North Dakota are paved with the stuff.
Chinese Couple Sells Their Kids to Fund Gaming Habit
| August 2, 2011
The strangest news comes out of China. According to ABC News, a Chinese couple sold their three children to use the money they made from the sale in video games.
Sanxiang City News reported that the parents, both under the age of 21, sold their kids to fund their gaming habit at internet cafes, where they played games. In 2009, Li Lin and Li Juan sold their second child, a baby girl, for less than $500. Girls being worth less than boys in China, they decided to go all in and sold their first child, a boy, for $4600. Their third child, also a boy, was sold for the same amount.

There is definitely a lesson to be learned here and that would be that there is more to life than gaming. That may be heresy in the gaming world, but long term gaming sessions can take their toll. Game responsibly.
“Chris lived for his Xbox. When he got into a game he could play it for hours and hours on end, sometimes 12 hours in a stretch. He got sucked in playing Halo online against people from all over the world.”
