This Weeks Guest Lineup
Monday, January 26, 2015!
 
Monday
First Hour: BitcoinComic.  Bitcoin is making giant strides throughout the world. Satoshi Nakamoto, its creator, continues as an enigmatic and cryptographic figure. Nonetheless, rumors surrounding his potential wealth have not gone unnoticed by the mafia. He has also popped up on the radar of the secret services. In fact, NSA agents have been searching for him for some time now. The opportunities that this crypto-currency has opened up within the financial markets have turned Nakamoto into a hero admired in more and more places near and far. His fans would go to great lengths to protect and defend him. For many, simply managing monetary transactions and issuing bitcoins without the involvement of intermediaries as well as carrying out transactions collectively online are factors which promote values for a freer world: In hope for a better world. Joining us is Alex Preukschat, the Graphic novel author of BitcoinComic.org.

Texting requires concentration!!

A man received the following text from his neighbor:
 
 
“Harry, I am so sorry as I have been riddled with guilt and I have to confess to you that I have been helping myself to your wife, day and night when you are not around ...  in fact, more than you. 
 
I do not get it at home but that is no excuse.  I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincere apologies with my promise that it will never happen again.”
 
Harry was anguished and felt betrayed, so he went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun and shot his wife dead.
 
A few minutes later another text arrived from his neighbor saying,
 
“This bloody auto speller.   I meant wifi, not wife.......”
