You Never Give Me Your Money is one of my all-time top-ten Beatle songs, for sure. Abbey Road may also be my favorite album, but I am not sure I'd go that far--the competition is fierce and spirited. You Never Give Me Your Money starts off the second side of the LP, with its chain of interlocked tunes spanning the entire side.
You never give me your money
- Lennon/McCartney ('though it was actually) written by Macca
You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
and in the middle of negotiations
you break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
and in the middle of investigation
I break down
Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true... today
Came true... today
Came true... today...yes it did
One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven

A short-cut gone really, really wrong: A crocodile meets his match amongst a herd of hippos
Crocodiles are pretty scary, as you all know, but not nearly so scary as a herd of PO'd hippos as it turns out.
A young crocodile was stalking a mother and her calves in the river, and got a little too close.
Fifty-some hippos gathered around them, and the wigged out croc, tried to race across their backs to escape. He didn't. Read the story here...

ObamaCare -- The outsource shocker: Tijuana dentures, Bulgarian kidneys, Albanian hips, and Guatemalan rest homes
By Pablo Fanque
All This Is That Medical Editor
In recent conversations, well-placed senior administration officials told All This Is That that the health care plan championed by President Obama and the Democratic leadership includes little-known provisions for outsourcing surgeries and medical procedures. One official told me "Let's say you need false teeth, uh...dentures. We can get this work done for you in Tijuana for less than half what it would cost anywhere in the states. And that's after adding in plane fares, meals and a couple of nights in a hotel."
Several independent sources revealed that the U.S. government is contracting for outsourced medical work in at least seven foreign countries. In some cases, the U.S. Government has purchased or leased land, and is breaking ground on a series of medical facilities in "outsource partner countries."
As one government health services manager on Capitol Hill told me, "Change. And you guys thought we were bulls***ing, didn't you?"

Prospective plans include, but are not limited to, outsourcing kidney and liver procedures to Bulgaria, knee- and hip-replacements to Albania, and dental work to Mexico. The most potentially explosive outsourcing initiative involves exporting virtually all geriatric, rehabilitation, and rest home care to Guatemala, where per-patient costs are a third of those in the United States.

Not sure if they are referring to the phrase originating here, our famous phallic Space Needle, or the locally famous hamburger chain? From the married to the sea website. . .

What if you searched for your birth parents and found out one of them was Charles Manson?
As many other adopted children have, Matthew Roberts went searching for his biological parents with mixed emotions of excitement and trepidation. Roberts, who bears an incredible resemblance to his dad--with a lot less crazy mixed in--has been in touch, but not too close of touch, with his father who is serving a life term for murder(s). Although Manson sent him his prison phone number years ago, he has never been able to bring himself to call. His mother, whom he found first, "always believed Manson was the father of the baby she gave up for adoption. And after seeing a picture of Matthew, her worst nightmare was confirmed."
