Fun Facts: Really? Part 17
Kim Jong-nam is Kim Jong-un’s older brother and was supposed to be Kim-Jong Il’s successor. However, he fell out of the line of succession when he tried to fake a passport so that he could get into Disneyland in Japan.

YES, to the test….
I HAVE A JOB.
I WORK, THEY PAY ME.
I pay my taxes & the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem).
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don’t have to pass a urine test.
So, here is my question:
Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH HELPING PEOPLE GET BACK on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone SITTING ON THEIR BUTT —-DOING DRUGS WHILE I WORK.
Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
I guess we could call the program “URINE OR YOU’RE OUT.”
JUST A THOUGHT, ALL POLITICIANS SHOULD HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST.

The Value Editor: Do you know what worth is, LL ?
The Worth Cat: I sure do, I learned that when I was stuck up a 20 foot tree. In finance worth is what someone is willing to pay for goods or services. Here are two examples. They are self explanatory.

Astronomy Picture of the Day
A Messier Moment for Tempel 2
Image Credit & Copyright: Dan Bartlett
Explanation: Which of these is not a comet? You guessed it – the one on the right is a globular star cluster. The diffuse greenish coma of periodic comet 10P/Tempel 2 is at left in the frame. In fact the globular star cluster is Messier 30, also known as M30, or the 30th entry in astronomer Charles Messier’s catalog of things which are not comets. The well-known 18th century astronomer kept a list of objects he observed, now his famous Messier Catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters, which did not move from night to night against the background stars and so were not the comets he was hunting for. So the famous comet hunter would get the correct answer too, even though his telescope would show both 10P/Tempel 2 and distant star cluster as similar looking faint and fuzzy objects in his field of view. Recorded on July 29, this modern telescopic image captures periodic comet Tempel 2 as it briefly swept close on the sky to M30. While the periodic comet’s faint, narrow, orbital dust trail seems to pierce the globular star cluster, Tempel 2 was a mere 3.5 light-minutes away. Messier 30 is some 28,000 light-years distant.
