It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “upcoming issues” and looking back at "how history was made".

Today is september 11 of the 9th month 2005.
It is also the 9th day of Elul, year of Moses 5765 it will soon be 5766.
It is also the 7th day of Shaban, 1426 years since the Hegira. read full story / add a comment
