Treasury Secretary Steve Nugent has created doubt that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. A man died Sunday at the famous desert celebration Burning Man after running into the giant wooden structure set on fire. So he actually became the Burning Man. You can now spend a night in the house where a Christmas story was filmed – $495 a night in the off-season, meaning it will not be a Christmas story for you. As of last Friday, Americans are now officially banned from traveling to North Korea. It's the only travel ban aimed at a single person. Whose name happens to be Dennis Rodman? In Italy, a 63-year-old man was having a mausoleum built at the cemetery in his hometown. He wanted his eternal resting place to be just right, so he made frequent visits to make sure that the construction crew was building it exactly to his specifications. On his last visit, he climbed up a ladder to get a closer look at the top of the mausoleum. That's when he slipped, hit his head on a marble step, and fell dead into his tomb. Well, I guess that saves money on renting the hearse. A Seattle therapy group for kids is putting the hammer down on the usual questions like how do you feel and why aren't you doing your homework. The group, Wheelhouse Workshop, instead uses Dungeons & Dragons to get kids and teens to open up by playing characters in the game. Parents of the children say it works extremely well, right up to the point where you tell them it's time for a bath and they try to do a saving throw. Lavar Ball and his family are set to star in a reality show called Ball in the Family. Begging the question, who the heck is Lavar Ball and how did he get his own reality show? Thinking about getting a pet, did you know that the most expensive household pet to keep is not a dog or a cat, but actually a tortoise? The animals can live for more than 75 years and during that time they would set you back about $36,000. Plus, there's the increased stress of trying to get him to pick up the pace when you take him out on his leash. The execution of a death row in Mated, Texas was delayed because of Hurricane Harvey and has been moved from last week to December 14th. Proof that hurricanes are evil. They kill others while saving the life of those scheduled for execution. A new study indicates 15% of office email is Gossip. The average corporate email user sends 112 emails every day. Of those, about a 1 out of 7 is gossip according to a study by Research at Georgia Tech. When you say gossip, most people immediately have a negative interpretation, but it's actually a very important form of communication. Even tiny bits of information, like Eric said he'd be late for this meeting, add up. Okay, I don't think I'd count a message if Eric is going to be late as gossip, though. But I'm shocked that we send an average of 112 emails every day? Seriously? How does that leave time for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube? L'Oreal has fired their first transgender model after she posted on Facebook that all white people are racists. It's amazing how those who scream that they should be accepted are quick to label and condemn everyone else. Can you create a burglar broke into a church to steal gold fixtures? That's when the plan fell apart. It seems he fell asleep and got locked in the weekend's only facility for five days, surviving on the only liquid available, sacramental wine. Five full days in a church to contemplate your life before God and think about the wrongs you've been doing. Sounds like a fitting punishment to me. Angelina Jolie showed up at the premiere of her new movie, First They Killed My Father, which she directed, produced and co-wrote, in Colorado with all six of her kids.
