$1,600 Hotel Room for $10 a Night!!

This couple gets a very, very discounted rate on their hotel room. At the time they were honeymooning there, the rooms were $10. The hotel promises that if you can produce a receipt, you can have the room for that amount each night.

So... at those prices, why wouldn't you just spend $300 a month to stay there and let them clean the room each day? Maybe eat some pop tarts and tap water each morning for breakfast and go hoggy at the buffet each night? You'd live well, do no work and save *lotsa* money.

OK, nobody thinks like me though. ;]

I remember one friend of mine, Susan, was so excited that the rate they got on a vacation house a couple years back would be the same rate she'd pay, forever. She planned of course to go back in 30 years and whoop it up, but she died less than two weeks after her vacation! Well, that stinks. She was a devoted Christian and I'm sure having a great time in heaven now. Still, my limited knowledge of math tells me that she could have (if God were willing, which of course He wasn't...) lived forty MORE years PLUS eternity. Forty PLUS eternity simply *must* be bigger than eternity, wouldn't you think? Any algebra nuts wanna help me out with this?

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
