1. Wanted: man to land on killer asteroid and gently nudge it from path to Earth
   Now… where have I heard that before…
2. Fantasy football leagues score big with fans
   This is my worst FF season ever. I’ll miss the playoffs in both of my leagues. So what do I do? Look forward to next year’s draft! Wooo!
3. Fake Chinese electronics perform better than originals
   Nobody makes better (more?) fakes than the Chinese. I wonder what percentage of their GNP is illegally created merchandise?
4. Amazon’s “loss leader” brings site to its knees
   Amazon marketed $100 Xbox 360s with the hope that the traffic would help sell other goods, but they didn’t plan on the traffic crippling their Web site.
5. Fed up with telemarketers? Try mooing
   I still like Seinfeld’s:
   Jerry: This isn’t a good time.
   Telemarketer: When would be a good time to call back, sir?
   Jerry: I have an idea, why don’t you give me your home number and I’ll call you back later?
   Telemarketer: Umm, we’re not allowed to do that.
   Jerry: Oh, I guess because you don’t want strangers calling you at home.
   Telemarketer: Umm, no.
   Jerry: Well, now you know how I feel. [hangs up phone]
   Here are some more tips I found.
