The Weekly Review is published every Sunday at 7:00pm EST.

The first full week in May is behind us. We had 38 posts this past week, so let’s go through some of the highlights!

• Top stories: NASA is willing to pay just above minimum wage to anyone who is willing to stay in bed for 90 days, a man makes a beer can coffin for the inevitable, and then serves drinks out of it, and lastly, the owners of $4.5 million worth of marijuana forget to
• Drugs are bad kids! Weed growers and distributors had a particularly tough week. The owners of $4.5 million in marijuana forgot to pay their mortgage. Dozens of frat boys at San Diego State University were busted for dealing drugs like “newbies,” which is a sign that drug enforcement kind of works in the states, unlike in Mexico, where drug cartels openly taunt and recruit members. Wow!
• We had *some* serious news this past week: The US Army hopes to have an army of robotic spiders within the year, which is just plain cool. The “powers that be” have also decided who is most expendable during a pandemic, make sure you aren’t on that list! Lastly, turn off Bluetooth on your phone when you aren’t using it, you never know who might be tracking you!
• One more week, plenty of more stupid people. Read about the police officer who shot himself while teaching others, or yet another bank robber who left important personal information at the scene of the crime, writing his note on the back of a phone bill. While these two are obvious geniuses, don’t forget about the man who jumped out of a crashing plane, only to be injured while the pilot walked away unscathed!

Comment of the week: From Land trust buys part of 11 backyards…

In the post, we wrote about 818 Land Trust, that legally purchased a sliver of numerous backyards, and then asked for the homeowners for $30 a month or $800 for their sliver. “818LandTrust”, which may be a representative of the group, calling the homeowners “squatters at best”. How noble right? Well “Herman” replied with:

You dirty purloiner, you’re all just trying to get an easy dollar, douchebag.

Well said Herman! Any comment with any version of the word “purloin” gets our automatic seal of approval!

Those are just a few of the posts we had this past week, come back daily for multiple updates and great stories! Tallyho!
