Should adults wear story book costumes to theme parks?
A woman was booted from Disney after she tried to enter the park dressed as a princess. 35-year old Natasha Narula says she was embarrassed after a security guard at Disneyland Paris told her to go home and change into "normal clothes." "They said to me 'you can't get in here looking like that'." Narula was dressed as Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The guards said she wasn't allowed because kids would think that she worked for Disney. Natasha demands an apology.

GADGET OF THE DAY
The great thing about dogs is their constant love and affection. The great thing about cats is that they leave you alone. It's not uncommon for some cats to be hidden for days. If that is your cat, than this little gadget may help track her down. The Lost Feline Locator keeps tabs on Garfield with a little homing tag attached to his collar. Of course, cat's are smart enough to transfer the tag over to the dog, and then take off! See ya! $100. Worth it? More here

JOKE OF THE DAY
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children
while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's artwork. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

Are you like me and always wonder if you're normal when it comes to money? How much you spend. How much you've saved. Are you like the next guy? I found a great site that allows you anonymously answer financial questions, and then compares you to the average person that has already answered the survey. You may be surprised at how well you're doing. Or you may need to think about selling that fancy pants car! Head here to get started. 
GAME BREAK
This is pretty cool, especially while wearing headphones. The music is great. Simple game. Just run and jump and don't die. It's a game you can download, I guess, to your smartphone, but you can also play it online here.
