With many new Car designs and concepts being released every year, there are two things that many cannot do without…Email and Bacon. It seems that these are two things that are available in most cars but have probably been overlooked before.
When I began living without money 18 months ago, the most common question people asked me was “How on earth are you going to eat?”. An understandable remark, but an insight into the burgeoning degrees of separation between the stomach and the soil.
For most of us, food comes in plastic packets from the supermarket. A friend, who runs tours of an organic farm for school children, gives much anecdotal evidence of this. One week, while pointing to a rosemary bush, he asked the kids if anyone knew what it was. After 20 seconds, one 12-year-old raised his hand and proclaimed it to be “corned beef”. Worse still, none of the others laughed.
A cheating wife, a snooping husband and a cellphone bill has led to a $600,000 lawsuit being launched against telecommunications giant Rogers Wireless Inc.
Gabriella Nagy, 35, of Toronto is suing Rogers for invasion of privacy and breach of contract after her husband discovered her extramarital affair through her cellphone bill in June 2007.
People don’t read the small print these days. True story: This year, a software retailer in the UK added a clause to its standard contract asking each online buyer for rights to his or her immortal soul. Thousands clicked to accept the deal.
The firm, GameStation, didn’t know what to do with all these souls, so eventually wrote emails transferring the rights back to their original owners. (Surely the obvious thing to do would have been to sell them to the devil? I understand he’s keen on that sort of thing.)
