Who can spot what's wrong with this press release:

Defense.gov News Release: Federal Agencies Partner to Protect Veterans, Service Members and Their Families Using GI Bill Education Benefits, Launch New Online Complaint System (http://www.defense.gov/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=16511)

Hey you forgot to say what was wrong? LOL don't leave me hanging no more.

There are many problems with many of the for profit colleges and if it were my money (well it is I suppose) they would not be getting any, but I don't think that is what you meant.

They fixed it. Originally it didn't have a link to the places to file complaints.

Phew, I was beginning to think you had pulled a Dr. Roesnhan on the group.

Same as what happens to someone who puts a "WET PAINT" sign up.

Something strange is happening in Germany:

"Not only will there be improved green spaces, but such a green initiative can stave off climate change, as the average temperature in Hambrug has risen 9 degrees Celsius in the last 50 years– that is a rise of 48.2 degrees Fahrenheit!"

Apparently, you're not allowed to do something reckless while doing something reckless in Spain.

In other words, you can get yourself killed running away from the bulls, but how dare you take a selfie. Now that's dangerous.

However, the bulls have not complained about the runners so far. (Yes, the article actually said that.) I repeat, the bulls have not complained, according to this article.

Police seek man who took selfie during running of the bulls (http://news.yahoo.com/selfie-running-of-the-bulls-pamplona-170532019.html;_ylt=A0SO8z3vLcNTq1wAsNxXNyoA;_ylu= X3oDMTEzZ2NtYTF2BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dG lkA1NNRTQyNF8x?.tsrc=Array)

Spanish police say they are searching for a man who snapped a selfie during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, the Guardian reports.

The unidentified man was seen snapping a photo of himself with his phone during the tail end of Friday's run as two bulls were close behind.

Organizers of the 9-day San Fermín Festival recently prohibited unauthorized use of recording devices by participants — part of a crackdown on "daredevil" behavior. At least three people have been fined for unauthorized filming this year.

While no bulls have complained about the self-snapping runners so far, riders at this year's Tour de France are furious over selfie-snapping spectators lining the 2,277-mile route.

I saw this headline on yahoo today:

"A Young Steve Jobs Smelled So Bad He Had To Be Put On The Night Shift At Atari"

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/young-steve-jobs-smelled-badly-172030907.html

When I read the article, I realized that the headline is a total lie.

It's unbelievable that somebody could write something so dishonest and disrespectful about Steve Jobs. And this is news?
