Two golfers met at the club. "I heard about your terrible tragedy last week," said one.
"Yes," said the other sadly, sipping his drink. "I was playing a two-some with Winthrop, and he dropped dead on the ninth hole."
"I understand you carried him all the way back to the clubhouse too," the first man said sympathetically. "That must have been very difficult, considering Winthrop weighed over two hundred and fifty pounds."
"The carrying wasn't that hard. It was putting him down at every stroke, then picking him up again that wore me out."

Google will launch their online storage service, called GDrive, as early as next week. If you're familiar with DropBox, then you get the purpose of GDrive. The difference is Google's service offers 5GB of free storage.
You have to wonder if Drew Houston, CEO of DropBox, is regretting the moment he turned down a 9-figure offer from Apple for his company.

We have a new most hated man in the world: Richard Bricknell. He's the director of the Bristol Physiotherapy Clinic in England who is warning women against wearing Spanx.

"The increased pressure on your lower stomach can force acid up to the gullet, leading to heartburn. Over time, this could contribute to inflammation, ulcers and, in extreme cases, oesophageal cancer."
Facebook/Phones: Cancer? Do you buy that? Do Spanx make you feel sick, and if so, do you care?
