Richest Man In The World 2010

Richest Man In The World 2010 – The richest man in the world in 2010 isn’t Bill Gates or even Warren Buffet, it’s Carlos Slim! The latest Forbes Billionaire list was just released and according to that, Slim just beat out Gates as the richest man in 2010.

Carlos Slim is a Mexican tycoon who has built an entire empire to amass $53.5 billion in fortune. He owes some of Mexico’s biggest department stores, telecoms operator, hotels, restaurants, oil drilling, building firms and Inbursa bank. I mean, the list goes on when it comes down to Carlos Slim and his empire in Mexico.

He has built this empire for the last half century and obviously it’s been paying off really well for him. I mean, not a lot of people get to sport the title of the richest man in the world, you know?

Anyways, not only is Carlos Slim the richest man but he also does what he can do to fight poverty in Latin America. He tries to create opportunities for people rather than just donate and be a “Santa Claus” to people. He believes in working for the money and he has done just that for decades.

I guess that’s why he’s now the richest man in the world!

Jet Blue 10 Dollar Flights

Written by Jay on March 9, 2010 – -

Jet Blue 10 Dollar Flights – In celebration of their 10th anniversary, JetBlue is holding a $10 travel plan in which you can try to book the remaining seats from JFK airport in New York to any of the airline’s first 10 destinations. Though, you must book the flight online before midnight for travel either today or tomorrow.

I think I read the $10 special discount is only for departing flights and the return flight is set at the normal cost, whatever it is. Keep that in mind when you’re trying to take advantage of this opportunity.

But below are the top 10 destinations:

* Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
* Buffalo, N.Y.
* Tampa, Fla.
* Orlando, Fla.
* Rochester, N.Y.
* Oakland, Calif.
* Burlington, Vt.
* West Palm Beach, Fla.
* Salt Lake City, Utah
* Fort Myers, Fla.

Enjoy!

Whipple’s Disease

Written by Jay on March 9, 2010 – -

Whipple’s Disease – It looks like people are searching for Whipple’s Disease because if you happen to watch the show House last night then you’d be interested to see if it’s a real disease or if they just made it up for the show. Well, it is in fact a real disease. I looked it up!

Based on the show, Whipple’s Disease was kind of explained as the body not getting the vitamins it needs and it, um, “poops” out. House was explaining it like if your poop is hard then you’re good, if it’s not then you’re not really good. So, I decided to look it up…

According to Wikipedia, Whipple’s disease is a “rare, systemic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Tropheryma whipplei.”

It seems as though most of the people affected by this is men and this disease can be treated. Though, if not treated it can be deadly. And yes, the show was right about that one too!

I don’t know about you guys but you can actually learn a thing or two from television! Who says not to believe everything you watch on TV, huh?

Snozberries

Written by Jay on March 4, 2010 – -

Snozberries – People have been talking about Snozberries since the Willy Wonka movies came out. But that’s not the only reason why its trending on the internet right now. It seems as though Nestle’s Snozberry is making news because of its unhealthiness.

Let’s get to the Willy Wonka side of the Snozberry first. Apparently, “Snozberries” was mentioned in the movie Charlie and the Chocolate factory in which Willy Wonka mentioned that they can lick snozberries. In case you didn’t know, “snozberries” was also referred to as a guys, um, “package.”

So, some adult humor in that movie, huh?

Now for the unhealthy snack. It looks like Nestle’s Snozberry supposedly has a misleading 0 grams of trans fat but they actually have 10 grams of saturated fat which is definitely more you should be taking in on a regular basis. I read the information is just hidden…

But that’s that!

FAMU Sextape?

Written by Jay on March 3, 2010 – -

FAMU Sextape – If you haven’t heard by now, it appears there is a controversial tape hitting the internet hard which is filled with Florida A&M University students. And what makes it more newsworthy is the fact that this was a group act and it was supposedly filmed on the campus of FAMU.

I read there are talks about lawsuits and some of the girls not knowing they were being taped. But an article I read about this story said the girls were looking directly into the camera so they had to have known there was a video camera present.

Officials at FAMU have yet to release any statement regarding this matter but I guess we can say the Gators definitely know how to party and have fun.

Though, now that this tape is on the internet, I guess some people aren’t having as much fun as they were having during the recording session. :D
