If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.
But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. - It's called the 401-Keg.
A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. Makes You Proud To Be An American!

I have had about a half gallon of beer since 1998...ok...about 3 cans. So 10 years of 3 miles per day...calculator...21,900 miles per gallon? I may have screwed up my math, but either way, the japanese have always seeemed to lead the way in fuel efficiency..
So I guess I am still proud to be an American. But 41 vs. 22000 mpg? I should get an award or something.
And I used to read alternet a lot. Then I switched to CNN. Newsweek had a great little clip in its latest issue about how Lucky Charms are healthier than granola. I'm serious, I am going to blog about it.
