Stretching exercises suggested for morning wake-up ..... ( just wondering if you can consider this a win ..... i left you decide :crackup
Haha, I belive it was a bike race or something.That's what they get for being in the middle of the road. I hate bikers that do that.
Those race car drivers are lucky to be able to drive stuff like that :drool:
Okay so I am reading this Cracked.com site oftenly because of the lulz and everything, when today I saw this totally badass facts about abusing law system by it's loopholes.
I got up to page two and #3 case (by my opinion totally number 1) got me to jump out of my seat.
Take a look at this:
The 6 Most Creative Abuses of Loopholes | Cracked.com
Just in case you cannot open the article (or read it),
It tells about how those advertisement scams send junk mail to people, and since people tend to throw away junk mail, they are constantly keeping up the pace at inventing way to keep ya interested. At least long enough to take a look at first few words or something.
Apparently some no-name company was advertising some "work-at-home" business and provided a fake check (or cheque ? ) for $95.000 and some change, for the sake of getting attention I guess.
This guy right here, Partick Combos, actually desided to deposit the fake check. To his suprise he actually recieved the ninety five thousand dollars to his bank account . Figuring how the back would realise the mistake and withdraw that, he waited... three weeks later, money still sitting there, he decided to go pick it up
Unknowingly, in attempt to make the check as real as possible, ad-company actualyl created a valid financial instrument , and simply writing "Non negotiable" is not enough to render it invalid , and in fact was perfectly legal to cash up.
The guy actually cashed a check that came with junk mail. Which turned out real.
Link to actual guys story here:

I dunno about you guys but I've never heard of that before and this is like, Win of a century or something. Or Fail of century on advertisement company part, however you want to take a look at it.
Either way, that guy is incredibly lucky. And honest man, giving the actual 95 grand BACK after his concience told him so.
(Yeah I know. That's the worst story ending to most badass story in history.)
Honestly, I would not give it back since it's a scam company who probably earned double that by scams.
Different story if a person accidentaly sent it to my adress something, I would not have second thoughts.
What do you guys think about that? Have you heard of this story before ?
Is it even true ?
I dunno I had to waige the win of cashing a junk check to failure of giving the money back.I think that story is more for the fail thread ... because the guy gave it back. :tsk:
