Ten Cities With the Lowest Unemployment Rates

Yawn City.



Wow.

 I'll just say this: None of these cities will have you rushing to pack your bags. No offense. But what else are you going to do but work? Key contributing factors: (1) Universities or colleges, which allow for built in positions on campus and around the schools. (2) Rising oil prices. Apparently, there are big bucks in fracking, which is the process of drilling and releasing fluid into the ground in order to collect oil.

 Not to say these destinations aren't indeed awesome places to live. 

Just...different. 

Well, you be the judge: 

1. Bismarck, N.D.• Oct. 2012 unemployment rate: 2.2%• Total population: 110,879• Median household income: $58,781 
2. Fargo, N.D.• Oct. 2012 unemployment rate: 2.8%• Total population: 211,729• Median household income: $52,393
3.Grand Forks, N.D.• Oct. 2012 unemployment rate: 3.1%• Total population: 98,512• Median household income: $46,718 
4. Lincoln, Neb.• Oct. 2012 unemployment rate: 3.2%• Total population: 307,165• Median household income:$49,315

Notorious B.I.G's Autopsy Report Released After 15 Years


Better late than never , I guess....



15 years after the murder of New York rapper, Notorious B.I.G, officials have decided to release the autopsy report.

15 years.

Although the details of the report don't give any insight to the actual shooter, we do learn a little more about the shooting itself:
The fatal bullet entered his right hip and ripped through several organs, including his liver, heart and lung. The other bullets struck Wallace in his left forearm, his back and his left thigh. 
He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he arrived in full cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead shortly after 1 a.m. 
At the time of his death, he had no drugs or alcohol in his system. Wallace was 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighed 395 pounds and had a tattoo on his right forearm that read: "The Lord is My Light and my Salvation ..."
I'm wondering what / who decided such an untimely release of this information. And for what purpose? Surely, not to comfort those affected the most by Biggie's passing. Not 15 years later...

#LOL: Whisky Restores Eyesight of Man Blinded by Vodka

Step away from the bottle.



A New Zealand man lost his eyesight after mixing vodka with his diabetes medicine. (Scary, no?) The deadly mix turned into methanol poisoning and causes formaldehyde to build up in his system, leading to loss of sight.

To prevent the methanol from further metabolizing into formaldehyde, doctors administered ethanol through Duthie's gastro-intestinal tract, but there was only so much in stock.
After the supply ran dry, a staff member was sent to a nearby liquor store to purchase a bottle of top-shelf whisky: Johnnie Walker Black.
"I thought it was pretty bloody good," Duthie told the Herald, referring to the doctors' unconventional cure. "I'm alive. The hospital was absolutely awesome. Couldn't have been better."

LOL at his response. I bet!
