This Week’s Best Conversational News Stories
Time is running on!
Stay current, be interesting. Get prepared now by reading our conversation topic suggestions below.
- Is a robot or human better at kicking field goals? If you’ve ever been stumped by this question you now have the opportunity to find out the answer. This is good for a few great minutes of conversation and can lead to whole new areas of continuing the conversation too.
- Beware when you’re texting personal messages at work! If the place you work for and they supply you with a phone, they may have every right to “ckeck in” on what personal business you’re dealing with while on company property or using your employers electronics. For me it’s a no-brainer, they own it, they can do what they want, even if it means they are invading your privacy. Will the supreme court agree?
- ‘Balloon Boy’ dad to pay $36,000.00 restitution. I have to ask, is 36K enough of a deterrent to stop the next media-crazed individual to staging a news-worthy event for a media starved public? Time will tell. And you can keep up with today’s most popular video on this page.
- Craigslist Lovers. Henry Russell’s book, Craigslist Casual Encounters: The Hilarious and Disturbing World of Seeking Sex Online, is out listing some of the most freakish encounters that have been attempted to occur through the free classified site. Go ahead and read the article, you need a laugh about now anyways. Order your copy of the book here at Amazon.com
Have a great weekend!
Friday’s Conversation Topics
What do you do with a moose?
Luckily for you I am here and so are you, we will work together, you and I, to share some great news stories from the past week that you can read and talk with the people you find yourself with in the days and hours to come.
After all, if you have nothing interesting to say then you are boring! And we don’t want to be boring, right?
Ok then, now that all that is settled, here are this week’s most interesting topics for you as selected by me:
- 10 stupid things you shouldn’t do with a camera around. I think the article title says it all (with photos, sfw).
- Meet the computer that can meet your mind. It was only a matter of time, right?
- War hero get’s reprimanded for managing the battle that he received a Silver Star of bravery for. This is when bad things get a lot worse for all people in uniform.
- Is latest Prius driver acceleration victim faking for a big payday? This background info casts a very big shadow on the whole episode. And is he really running a shadow life involving swinging and mysterious thefts?
- Sony introduces new PS3 motion controller. This really isn’t news, it’s a product press release. But it showed up in so many places that I am starting to wonder what really is news these days… here and here. Why did I even bother with this one? Good question.
- What do you do when you have a dead moose in your yard? First thing, get your puppy away from it. Second thing: Open up the Yellow Pages and find a “moose carcass removal service”. Sounds easy, right?
Have a great weekend!
