Credit card holds.

When you go to the gas station, the ownership puts a temporary hold of anywhere from $100 to $175 on your card, even if you only put in $20, $30 or $50 in the tank.

The hold time varies from a few hours to a few days. I didn’t know that existed. Many others don’t either as people are seeing overdrafts fees and penalties charged when that hold fee is assessed.

Phoebe Cates is of Russian Jewish, and one quarter Chinese decent.

In my mind, she will be forever linked to Moving in Stereo.

Leaned not too long ago that Judge Reinhold was actually holding a large accessory in the bathroom that Phoebe was not expecting. Her reaction in the final cut of the scene was genuine surprise

An actual research study commissioned by Guinness found that an estimated 162,719 pints of Irish stout go to waste every year… via mustaches. The study found that 0.56 milliliters of Guinness get trapped in the average beard or mustache with each sip. And it takes about 10 sips to finish a pint.

An estimated 92,370 Guinness consumers every year in the UK have facial hair. Assuming they consume on average 180 pints each a year, the total cost of wasted Guinness annually is about $536,000.

May be time to shave again

One study found that the acid in the human stomach is more than sufficient to dissolve a razor blade after a couple of hours.

Don't recommend testing it out though

I saw it happen once, freshman year of college.
Kid said he had done it many times...true story.

I was left wondering why he was none too bright though.

The US and the world is getting older quickly. It is projected that one in five Americans will be 65 or older by 2030 and the number of 100 year olds should grow from 90,000 today to at least 3,000,000 by 2100.
