  • Our friend Matt at Mom and Dad Money makes the case that if you're young, you're better off in the market than out of it (even in a fall).  If you're a parent of that aforementioned youth?  Well, that's a story for a different piece.
  • I'm a bit late on this one, but here's a guy who makes weapons with only things that can be found in airports.  And, of course, the relevant xkcd.
  • At Political Calculations, two great pieces on a demographic conundrum which traces back to World War II (!).
  • Control Your Cash once again hijacks my thought processes and summarizes them better than I ever could with a piece on the superiority of online shopping.
  • Ever hear the story about the entrepreneur who started his business on the back of maxed out credit cards?  Yeah, it was news because it was a ridiculous risk.  Jason Hull shares more.
  • Why do humans value gold?  (Asks some British something-or-other!)
