Not that I have first hand experience in getting a tax refund this year, but since close to 50% don't pay income taxes (Which means that you wrote a check to the IRS) and did get a return.  Some even chose to get a check back instead of direct deposit.  In case you are not one of those people, let me fill you in on what the government informs you of when you get that check.

MyMoney.gov is the U.S. government's website dedicated to teaching all Americans the basics about financial education. Whether you are buying a home, balancing your checkbook, or investing in your 401(k), the resources on MyMoney.gov can help you maximize your financial decisions. Throughout the site, you will find important information from 20 Federal agencies and Bureaus designed to help you make smart financial choices.

That's  right, the federal government is going to teach you about financial responsibility.  What could go wrong?

Check out the website for yourself here.

From the You Can't Make This Up Files - Adult Breast Feeding in Saudi Arabia

In Saudi Arabia there are very strict rules about men and women "mixing" with each other when they are not relatives.  You can be lashed and jailed if you are caught with someone you are not related to.  I guess they have decided to try and make things a little easier for people, so they have issued a Fatwa.

The solution that they have come up with is "Adult Breast Feeding".  Apparently if you breast feed someone you are somehow related to them and the desire to have sex with them disappears. 

The argument now is how exactly the man gets the breast milk.  One cleric wants it pumped into a glass for the man to drink, the other thinks he suckle the woman's breast. 

I am so glad that I don't live there...........

A couple in South Korea became so obessesed with their virtual baby, their 3 month old daughter starved to death.  South Korea has one of the most advanced broadband systems in the world, but they are mainly accessible at internet cafes.  The new parents spent the majority of their day caring for their virtual child that they fed their own daughter once a day.  Didn't any of their neighbors hear this baby crying?  Both parents had recently lost their jobs and used the internet baby as way to escape from their problems. 

Sadly, they are not in jail.
