“Safe” Deposit Box?

… not at Bank of America …

"Ariel’s wealthy aunt died. When his mom went to open her safe deposit box, which was supposed to hold $300,000 in bonds and jewels, it was empty. The bank clerk said that it had been emptied that morning, by the aunt…

Further investigation found that it was actually a woman using his Aunt’s identity who cleaned out the box. This woman had "befriended" the aunt in the months before her death.

The tale inside reads like it fell from the pages of a pulp detective novel…"

It Comes in Threes

OK, so first it was Hao Kuo Chi — member of the Peep Geek Squad — who was allegedly (and the story does appear to have some holes) caught recording activities in a client’s bathroom with his cameraphone.

Next came Cho Seung-Hui, executor of the Virginia Tech Massacre.  The "loner who… kept to himself and… wrote disturbing plays… hated the rich kids" etc. etc.

So the question is:
Who’s next?

Trouble comes in threes.
Who is the next triple-named Crasian to wreak havoc on this nation?

Coward

I don’t believe in notions like Heaven & Hell.

But for cowardly bastards like Cho Seung-Hui (the Virginia Tech shooter), I suspend these disbeliefs and say:
punch an extended-stay ticket for the latter.


Tower Defense

And now for some Friday Fun (which may keep you busy all weekend…):

Instantly, one of the all-time great Flash games
Desktop Tower Defense

Stop your enemies, the "creeps", from traveling from one side of the screen to the other by setting up a tower defense.  Start with basic towers, then upgrade as you earn money for killing creeps.  Setup new towers to stun, freeze, shoot long range missiles.

WARNING: you must allow for at least 20 minutes of game time!  The game starts off fairly easy, but gets progressively tougher as the creeps grow resilient.

This game is highly addictive.  You have been warned.
