Absolute worst song of all time, in your opinion only, of course
For me, it's hard to top Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas. That song makes dead cats caterwaul.
Unlimited funds, what's your fantasy car ?
I guess I'm old school: I'd completely restore to mint condition, a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. I'd use the rest of the money to pay for gas and insurance

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10452063NOT THE ONION: Facebook Goes Down, Users Call 911 and Storms Twitter
http://www.hngn.com/articles/37837/20140802/facebook-goes-down-users-call-911-storms-twitter.htmThe world's largest social networking site with more than 1.3 billion users worldwide, Facebook, crashed for a brief time on Friday afternoon. As expected, people flooded Twitter under hashtag #FacebookDown. But the latest outage also led to some extreme reactions from some users in the US, who called 911 to report the so-called emergency.
The 911-calling incident was reported by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Sgt. Burton Brink, who took to Twitter to explain that the law enforcement has no role to play in bringing Facebook back. The LAPD Communications Twitter account also communicated a similar message when it began conducting a Q&A for 911-related queries.
#Facebook is not a Law Enforcement issue, please don't call us about it being down, we don't know when FB will be back up!

Tropical Storm Bertha still on course to lash Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and The Bahamas

Tropical Storm Bertha Hits the Lesser Antilles
http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2744The center of Tropical Storm Bertha was passing between the Lesser Antilles islands of Martinique and Dominica near 4 pm EDT on Friday, but has brought little in the way of strong winds or heavy rain to the Lesser Antilles Islands so far. As of 4 pm, Martinique had received 0.35" of rain, with top winds of 22 mph. Dominica had a wind gust of 43 mph at 4 pm EDT, and had picked up 0.08" of rain. The storm's top winds of 50 mph were located about 100 - 150 miles east-northeast of the center, and this portion of the storm will affect the northernmost Leeward Islands Friday night as Bertha speeds west-northwest at 22 mph. Visible satellite loops on Friday afternoon showed that although Bertha's surface circulation was exposed to view due to wind shear, the storm was growing more organized. Bertha had a modest area of heavy thunderstorms on the east side of the circulation, but heavy thunderstorms were beginning to fire up near the center of circulation. Martinique radar also showed increased organization, with more spiral bands forming and growing more intense near the center. This modest increase in organization may be due to the fact that wind shear due to strong upper-level winds out of the west had dropped by 5 knots since Friday morning, and was a moderate 15 knots on Friday afternoon. These winds were still driving dry air to the west of Bertha into the circulation, limiting heavy thunderstorms on the west side of the storm. An Air Force C-130 hurricane hunter aircraft was investigating Bertha early Friday afternoon, and found that the storm's central pressure had fallen 3 mb since Friday morning, to 1007 mb. Top surface winds measured by the plane were about 50 mph.

Psychopathy, an intro
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociopathy#Sociopathy
It's a fascinating topic. It's easy to fall into "hammer meets nails constantly" syndrome, so one must be aware of that. Narcissism, especially malignant narcissism, is closely related. Wiki only serves as an entre'e into this field, so, further reading is required.
Enjoy !
