Today is $13 Dollar Bill Day In 1984, Christopher Ship of Santa Fe, New Mexico, was arrested when he tried to spend a $13 bill he had made. I guess he was trying to account for inflation. ;-) |

Does it include a free monthly subscription to extra toilet paper? The Taco Lover's Pass will get you a taco per day for 30 days (and the chance to "live más"), all for $10. |

Very sad. :-( Tourists crushed to death in freak rock fall near waterfall. Five people have tragically died and 32 are injured after a wall of rock collapsed on top of tourist boats below a waterfall in Brazil. |

Not so freak, just infrequent. Still sad. https://seismo.berkeley.edu/blog/1996/07/10/the-yosemite-rock-fall-of-july-10-1996.html Not a good idea to spend too much time beneath cliffs, or on top of them near the edge. |

A really big one waiting to happen is in the Canary Islands for Mount Teide to lose the northern flank into the sea... Here's a pop-press style article to give the idea of what will happen sometime: Killer Earthquakes, life-threatening Tsunamis and Huge Death Toll expected When the Tenerife Volcano Teide erupts! And this is what happened for the last big splash from there: Explosive eruption, flank collapse and megatsunami at Tenerife... All very real yet incomprehensible... All without precaution or contingency. Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

The trouble with Paradise is it can produce snake eyes... Long run out slides in Hawaii... Scary. the islands really are built on a foundation of "watermelons and marbles" (pillow lava and sand) The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Can I point you to a respected volcanologist Valentin Troll, Uppsala University and his recent lecture on Tenerife. The Geology of TENERIFE & TEIDE NATIONAL PARK He talks about the historical collapses from about 00:33:00 and the chances of them in the future. His Youtube page for more on volcanos is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoIhK8XHA0xTd9Hej8wfl1g/videos |

Imagine going on a cruise, but instead of arriving home you wind up being kicked off in the Bahamas. :-O A cruise ship had an arrest warrant waiting in Miami. So it took passengers to the Bahamas. A cruise ship heading to Miami changed course to the Bahamas Saturday after a US judge issued an arrest warrant for the ship due to unpaid fuel bills.I wonder what the passengers thought of that cruising experience. Cheers. |
