Online couple cheated with each other

Online they knew each other as "Sweetie" and "Prince of Joy" and offline they found out they are husband and wife, Sana and Adrian Klaric. 

The couple had been swapping stories about their unhappy marriages and made such a connection online that they decided to meet in person. 

"I was suddenly in love. It was amazing. We seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriage. How right that turned out to be," Sana, 27, said.

Adnan, 32, said: "I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years".
The couple has filed for divorce and have accused each other for being unfaithful.

Utah FastPass: Speeding for Charity

This year the Utah Highway Patrol organized the first Utah FastPass where a desolate stretch of Utah's Route 257 is closed off and participants are allowed to drive as fast as their car can take them. For some drivers, it's just a really fast trip to the hospital.

Mr. Plummer then roared off, with a reporter along for the ride. After quickly reaching 140, he slowed down through the rises and dips, then pushed the bright orange car to 170.

Mr. Losee never made it to the flat stretch of road. He lost control in the whoop-de-doos and crashed.

The entry fee is $5000 per car not including the "speeding ticket" you receive.

There, with the road cleared of traffic, Highway Patrol allowed unlimited speeds and planned to "catch" each car on radar and write out a ticket. The "offender" would pay the "fine" to charity, and get to keep the speeding ticket as a memento. Several drivers had planned to frame the tickets as proof they had been "caught" doing 150 or more.
So as long as I don't trash a Ferarri Enzo over a  'whoop-dee-doo' and wind up in the hostpital with a concussion, does my insurance need to know about this?

Identity theft can be funny..

Today it was reported that the person who runs the FTC had some personal information stolen from a retailer that she frequented.

Now for the funny part, the FTC is in charge of helping people get through the process of getting their identity back after it has been stolen. In this case the company was at fault and let some 1.4 million people's CC numbers get stolen.

I also love the comment that the retail had trouble informing its customers because it doesn't collect address information at its stores. This is a good thing[tm] in my opinion. The less information you give the retailer, the less information they can lose. I won't even give them my zip code or phone number when they ask. I just politely say, "No thanks".
