 So, I have a finance and econ degree, have friends who have worked on Wall Street, and I still have a hard time figuring out the true inner-workings of the market sometimes: It is the Wall Street equivalent of a perfect game of baseball — 27 up, 27 down, the final score measured in [...] This story is just crazy enough for me to share. It’s a long read, so most people probably won’t make it all the way through — but you should try. It’s about an isolated, ‘religious’, Utopian post-WII colony set up by former Nazi members who fled to Chile and ultimately ended up molesting children [...] By most accounts, the trillion dollars worth of stimulus money is running out. And yet, our economy really isn’t coming back. That is why a number of economists warn of a double dip recession. Because if organic growth isn’t there, and the free money from Bush and Obama runs out, then the economy will [...] What do you do when you’ve been trapped in your DC apartment for days on end because of the Snowpocalypse/Snowmageddon and can’t make it to your worthless Georgetown Law classes? You read 1,000,000 word articles from The Atlantic, apparently. And that is exactly what Steve has done.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a brain game, but this one is fun, and doable. Enjoy. Today’s Brain Game offers twelve anagrams of various football player positions; think [...]  Just because it’s a short Holiday week, doesn’t mean you can let your brain off too easy. The nine squares inside the main red grid should be filled with the digits 1 through 9. Each digit should appear only once in the mail grid. One of these numbers (the 2) is already provided for [...] Fox News, solving the unemployment crisis one crazy idea at a time: That’s exactly what we want! Get the unemployment rate down by lowering minimum wage for workers, thus lowering the standard of living for more Americans — but hey, at least more people would have sh*tty jobs, [...] The last few Mental Floss puzzles I’ve put up have been the number squares. They haven’t been particularly challenging. Luckily, Mental Floss put up a logic game today. Not that it’s particularly difficult either, but at least it’s something different and will hopefully get your brain going on a Monday. Bored, five of the [...] |
