Would You Wear a Divorce Ring?
If you've gone through the stress and heartbreak of a divorce, would you wear something on your hand to represent your new status? Check this out (picture), it's called a divorce ring, and for $3200, you can wear a symbol of your new independence. A symbol made up of a gold heart ripped in two. Fun, huh? Does this look like something you would wear?
20 Things My Kids Might Sue Me for Some Day
Steven Miner and his sister Kathryn, both in their early 20's, filed a lawsuit against their mother for the "emotional distress" she caused by poor mothering. They wanted $50-grand because she would send them birthday cards they didn't like, and didn't send care packages while they were in college, blah blah blah.
The judge saw right through it and dismissed the case.
This case frightened Julie Evans, a blogger for The Stir, who is now afraid her kids may one day sue her for poor mothering. She has 20 reasons, here are the top 9:
1. I haven't completed their baby books and don't have a strong belief that I ever will.
2. I have forgotten when they walked, crawled, spoke, etc. for the first time, and didn't write it down. Sometimes I make it up when people ask.
3. I embarrass them in front of their friends with hugs and kisses, and probably always will.
4. I have forgotten to pick my son up from school on time and once tried to drop him off at the wrong camp.
5. I don't go on every school field trip.
6. Their white clothing is never really white after the first washing.
7. I will never scrapbook.
8. I won't always defend them. If they're wrong, they're wrong.
9. I throw their junky treasures (acquired at birthday parties and the like) away when they're not looking.

7. Being gorgeous and perfect and famous, and being pregnant with the baby of your successful and famous husband (ahem, Jay-z and Beyonce).
8. Getting that sought-after promotion.
9. Guys with British accents.
10. Girls' nights!
11. Losing yourself in a book you can truly relate to

Gotta See This II
This should scare the doughnuts out of you. Two robots carrying on a conversation. They are Cleverbots, one a appears as a man, the other a woman. What you'll hear is a robot conversation, and it doesn't take too long to wonder if the two are married. Watch
Innocent fun, right? But what if the Cleverbots started teaching each other things? What if they started learning from each other? What if they decided that humans were no longer...*gulp*.... necessary??? I need a drink.
Joke of the Day
Mr. Trent always scheduled the weekly staff meeting for four thirty on Friday afternoons. When one of the employees finally got up the nerve to ask why, he explained. “I will tell you why … I’ve leaned that’s the only time of the week when none of you seem to want to argue with me.”

Everyone wants to publish their own book, right? Ever think you may have ALREADY written that book? If you update your Twitter page on a regular basis, you've already written a book, and all you have to do is have those thoughts and pictures put into print. That's where Twournal steps in. It connects you to your Twitter account, fetches your tweets and pictures, and then compiles everything into a cool looking book. You never know, you may have a best seller!
