Gotta See This

This is 3 minutes and 40 seconds of good solid Australian TV. He went fishin' for a shark -- but guess what he catches.... "awkward!"




Did You Know

You know how they say "40 is the new new 30"? Well hang onto that because 69 is now the new 65. A survey from SunAmerica Financial Group found most people are delaying retirement until they're 69. Part of it is that dang recession, but the other factor is our longevity.
