Newsgroups. Say What!?

Looking at Newsgroups on Yahoo and Google to research... Came across these groups... under 'hobbies'.

Just goes to say how amazing we are as a human race... I mean, man, just check out these hobbies...

Bell Ringing... Duct Tape? What is a duct tape hobby? And, man, what is, and who does Dumpster Diving....?!

Juggling and pottery - sure I can understand those being hobbies, but potato guns... wow.

And under home and garden there are actually 890 members of the Robomower group...

"Robotic Lawn Mowers - they mow your lawn, you don't! Friendly Robotics series of RoboMower RL500 (Toro iMow), RL550, RL800, a newer RL850 and RL1000...."

Beat The Odds on Success

Remember that success is rare. Only one person in one hundred becomes wealthy in the course of a lifetime. Only five percent achieve financial independence. That means that the odds against you are 19-to-1. The only way that you're going to achieve your financial goals is if you get really serious. To succeed, you must get serious. You must get busy. You must get active. You must get going. Remember, everything counts.
