NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF

A 107-YEAR-OLD WOMAN IN MALAYSIA IS LOOKING FOR HER 23RD HUSBAND:

Four years ago, 107-year-old Wook Kundor of northern Malaysia got married for the 22ND TIME to a 37-year-old guy named Muhammad Noor Che Musa.

But now, Muhammad is in rehab for a drug addiction, and Wook is worried that once he gets out, he's going to leave her for a younger woman. So, to make sure she doesn't end up alone, Wook has started searching for a 23rd husband.

Wook says, quote, "Lately, there is this kind of insecurity in me. I realize that I'm an old woman. I don't have the body, nor am I a young woman who can attract anyone. My intention to remarry is to satisfy my loneliness, and nothing more than that." (--Check out a photo of Wook.)(Yahoo News)

WOULD YOU USE A DRESSING ROOM THAT HAD A CAMERA IN IT???

And here it is . . . the WORST IDEA you'll hear all week. Recently, officials for the Kfem department store in Stockholm, Sweden, announced that they'll be equipping one dressing room per store with several web-ready CAMERAS.

The purpose is so that shoppers can upload photos of themselves trying on the "latest fashions" directly to their blog or Facebook wall.

According to a store spokesperson, quote, "Our aim is to catch up on different trends. The bloggers have a huge impact in Sweden these days, so it was an obvious thing to push through." (Local)


AND NOW . . . PHOTOS OF STEAKS THAT HAVE BEEN CUT INTO THE SHAPE OF VARIOUS U.S. STATES:

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands . . . and photographer Dominic Episcopo seems to be one of those people. At least I assume he is, considering his latest project, the "United Steaks of America".

For the project, Dominic cut hunks of meat into the shape of various states like Texas, California and Florida, and then took photos of them. (???) (Reddit (--I'm just as confused as you are. If you're interested, you can take a look at the "United Steaks of America" here . . .) http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2009/09/13/united-steaks-of-america/

43% OF PEOPLE WHO LEND MONEY TO FAMILY MEMBERS ARE NEVER PAID BACK IN FULL:

According to a survey in "Money" magazine, 43% of people who've lent money to a family member were never paid back in full, and 27% were never repaid even a single cent.

--With that in mind, here are two ways you can still hook up your friends and family members in need, without actually LENDING them money:

#1.) Give money as a gift: There's a good chance you'll never see the money again anyway, and this way you don't have to worry about all the awkwardness and resentment involved with lending.

#2.) Let them earn it: These days, a lot of people are in need of a few extra bucks. Instead of loaning money, why not allow your relatives to earn it by doing chores around the house or yard? That way, everyone gets something out of the deal. (Wallet Pop)

SOME DUDE IS GIVING AWAY $1,000 EVERY DAY THROUGH THURSDAY:

Could you use an extra $1,000? Of course you could. Who couldn't? Which is why we wanted to let you know about THIS . . . --This week, a so-called "debt guru" named Dave Ramsey announced that he'd be giving away $999 every day through Thursday by holding a random Internet drawing. And all you have to do to become eligible is fill out a simple online form. --So why's Dave doing it?

Well, Dave's an author and a radio talk show host, and this promotion is basically a clever way for him to get some cheap advertising. --Also, the key to Dave's debt-relief program is having a $1,000 emergency fund so you can chip away at your debt, and have money on hand in case you really need it for something unexpected.

(--Whatever. It's free money . . . do you really care WHY Dave's doing it? Me neither. You can register to win the $999 here . . .)http://www.daveramsey.com/lib/999/display.mobileStorm.htm?ictid=win (Wallet Pop)

AN 11-YEAR-OLD FAKED HIS OWN KIDNAPPING TO AVOID BRINGING HOME A BAD REPORT CARD:

When you're a kid, report card day means different things to different people. For the brains, it's a time to be applauded for hard work. But for the slackers, well, it's a time to minimize the damage in any way possible. Here's what I'm talking about . . .

Last Friday was report card day at Ed White Middle School in Huntsville, Alabama. But for one unidentified 11-year-old boy, the thought of bringing home a sub-par report card was just too much to bear. So to avoid doing just that, the boy concocted a story about how a man KIDNAPPED and threatened to KILL him as he was walking home from school.

Then, in order to escape, the boy said he jumped out of the moving vehicle, leaving his backpack and report card behind, and ran to his grandparents' house.

Anyway, the boy's grandparents believed his story, and they called the police to report the crime. That's when the boy came clean and admitted he'd made the whole thing up to avoid bringing home a bad report card.

So far, the boy hasn't been charged with anything. (Huntsville Times)(--You know, I'm a little impressed by the scope of this kid's lie. He really set the bar pretty high. At the same time, I can't help think that if he put half as much effort into his schoolwork as he did this lie, he'd probably be pulling straight A's.)
