Math for the rich and morons
You do the math. Or pay a website to do it..
"You can't do it? We're here to help," says the homepage of a new French website where children can pay for older students to do homework for them. On faismesdevoirs.com (domyhomework.com), children will be able to buy answers to simple maths problems for 5 euros ($6), while a full end-of-year presentation complete with slides and speaking notes will cost 80 euros ($100). The website goes live Thursday morning, founder Stephane Boukris told Reuters. "I realized there was a gap in the market. Add to that a dose of insolence, a zest of arrogance and the internet, and you have faismesdevoirs.com," he said. Schoolteachers reacted with outrage.
Homework
Actually I think that's awesome. I could have used it in some of my higher level Calculus classes since they show you how they got the answer.
Hasta la vista, baby
A Mexican national who told airport immigration he was visiting Britain to see a friend was swiftly deported after a search unearthed a good-luck card in his luggage wishing him well for his "new life in the UK." UK Border Agency officers at Manchester Airport routinely stopped the 40-year-old chef after he arrived on a flight from Los Angeles last Friday. The man told them he was on a short trip to see a friend who was opening a restaurant in the area. "However, a search of the passenger's baggage revealed a huge collection of Mexican food recipes and a good-luck card from his church wishing him well for his 'new life in the UK,'" the agency said in a statement.

HAHAHA!!! You should have made them write it in Spanish.
Most Britons have lied about the books they read
Two out of three Britons have lied about reading books they have not, and George Orwell's "1984" tops the literary fib list, according to a survey published Thursday. Commissioned by organizers of World Book Day, an annual celebration of reading in Britain, the study also shows that the author people really enjoy reading is J.K. Rowling, creator of the bestselling Harry Potter wizard series. According to the survey, 65 percent of people have pretended to have read books, and of those, 42 percent singled out "1984." Next on the list came "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy and in third place was James Joyce's "Ulysses."
Books
Whereas most Americans have lied about being able to read at all.
Pa. school trailer sold for just $1
Officials in one eastern Pennsylvania school district are red-faced after making a costly mistake on eBay. The East Stroudsburg School District was attempting to sell seven used classroom trailers, but an error in its ad on the online auction site allowed someone to bid and buy one trailer for only a dollar. The district had purchased the trailers three years ago for about $46,000 each. With transportation and setup costs, the total came to around $60,000. Officials were expecting to get around $5,000 to $10,000 per trailer on eBay. District superintendent Rachel Heath says officials tried to back out of the eBay sale but couldn't.

Oooops.
Gas Station Hold Up
Kanawha County Deputies charge a man with a gas station holdup after he allegedly used his own bank card to pay for a $1.47 Mountain Dew during the robbery attempt. Shawn Thomas Lester, 33, of Charleston is charged with armed robbery. He allegedly was holding up the Certified Station in Sissonville Monday when a customer came in. Court documents say he paid for the drink and left after signing a fake name to the receipt. A deputy traced him thru the card. Court documents say he admitted telling the clerk he had a gun and wanted all of the money, but now Lester claims he was joking.

Haha! He's right - this is hilarious...in a mock the stupid way.
