“Bam!” The robber hit my eyes hard with his gun. I am still not sure if it was a real gun or a fake one: All I can say is that it was a very heavy metallic object. As soon as I saw the gun, the first thing I thought of was that my wife was pregnant. She was right next to me at that moment, unfortunately. The robber asked me to open our cash register and dump the cash into his bag. I don’t think he knew that we barely had $160 cash for changes (possibly even less than that). I hesitated for a second and he hit my head. This story is about the true event which happened in a video game ...

Most people falsely assume that “Rocky (1976)” is the first film Sylvester Stallone starred in – wrong!

"Why had Germany lost WWII? I think Germans focused on something not bringing them direct victory – they didn't fight in constructive ways. Killing Jewish didn't bring them any gain; it only created miseries on others, which was a waste of time, energy and resources on the German side. Deutschs could have used those to fight against enemies. Unless we strictly pursue our profits, we can lose one way or another. Do you know what is the most common trait among all the losers? They waste time – probably, they throw away energy and money, too. While it doesn't mean we should work to ...

"There is a Korean American artist named David Choe, who is best known for his graffiti and mural arts. In 2005, one of Facebook founders, Sean Parker, asked him to paint murals in the interior of Facebook's Silicon Valley office.

"Amanda Clayton was 24 when she won the Michigan State lottery of $1 million in 2011; she was a single mom of two, then. Unexpectedly, she was involved in welfare fraud soon after someone recorded her using a snap card (food stamps) at a gas station even after the windfall. Eventually, she was sentenced to nine months of probation and ordered to repay $5,500 in food and medical assistance to the State. Then, astonishingly, Amanda was found dead of OD in a friend's home in 2012; that was just one year after the winning and she was only 25. I wonder if she could have been OK until now if she ...
