In a hand-written letter on display in Israel, Sir Isaac Newton -- the father of modern astronomy and physics -- predicted years ago that the world is going to end in 2060. That gives us a few years to build a time machine so we can send Bruce Willis off into the future to save us.
Researchers at the University of Oregon claim that paying taxes actually trigger feelings of happiness and satisfaction. This according to a survey of over a hundred COMPLETELY FRIGGIN' INSANE PEOPLE!
