As I understand it, tomorrow is the big shopping day down there. Black Friday? I'd never even heard of this until a couple years ago. Being that we are where we are in the month though, I thought I'd look it up. There are a whole bunch of theories as to why it's called Black Friday. Accounting terms, and Gold market crashes, among other things, are among them. Check them out here, it's pretty interesting! Being that we are on the topic of shopping, something we all have to be aware of are the toys we buy our kids. A consumer group has come out with a list of toys that they consider dangerous, citing some cases where children died of choking, and on died of lead poisoning by swallowing a bracelet charm that contained (wait for it) 99% lead. There are also concerns this year about certain chemicals, which the article says are used to keep plastic supple.

Random Thursday
Well, Happy Thanksgiving all you Americans out there! This week is one of the big travel weeks of the year, and with the the new scans and pat downs, I'm curious as to how many will forgo the flying. Although, we may not have to! A Colorado man has invented a type of underwear to protect your dignity as you go through the scans. It uses powdered metal, and I don't think it lowers your risk of cancer, but nothing is a fix all, right? Check out that link here. The men's underwear has a fig leaf, and the women's has clasped hands.
