Jackie O in (Vintage) Nude Photo Scandal!
A word to the wise: naked photos can always resurface — even decades later. As archivists sort through 610 boxes full of memorabilia and junk collected by the late Andy Warhol, they recently stumbled upon an autographed nude photo of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Jackie O was a frequent muse to the packrat artist and apparently gifted him a naked poster signed, "For Andy, with enduring affection, Jackie Montauk."

I'm Asking: How Would You Spend a $200 Gift?
Let's pretend you check your mail today, expecting to find the usual junk, and discover a surprise card containing two $100 bills from an apologetic relative who has forgotten your birthday for the last few years.
Generally, I like to spend gift money on fun things, because that's usually the intention of the giver. Would you spend it on anything in particular, hold on to it until you found something worthy, or just put it in the bank?
Spam Now Makes Up 83% Of All Email
A few months ago we read a study that said thirty-seven percent of U.S. e-mail users say they are getting more junk in their personal e-mail accounts. Now, we hear that spam is now 83 percent of all e-mail and that number is on the rise.
