I got to enjoy a traditional retelling of The Broken Penis Tale.
The popular web-based RPG “Kingdom Of Loathing” is now “Kingdom of Salad” where everyone’s character picture and every item is a bowl of salad. And the elusive “Spectral Pickle Factory” is now a “Spectral Salad Factory” where you simply get a delicious bowl of salad every time.
always a Fool’s day favorite of mine, motleyfool.com’s investing gurus Tom and David Gardiner have decided to take a break from investing to focus on other things. They suggest that now, with the current wild market fluctuations, is a good time to stop investing and to start drinking scotch.
