HIGH SCHOOL REUNIONS

When Izzy's 10 year reunion came about, the class president wanted him to DJ, AND PAY to attend. Yet DJ for free!

RULES ARE RULES

In Hatteras, North Carolina, a team of fishermen thought they had hit the big time after winning first place in the prestigious Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. However, as they were salivating over their $1.2 MILLION DOLLAR prize money-- including a bonus for single-largest catch-- one of the judges discovered that one member of the team, Peter Wann, had not gotten his $30 North Carolina coastal recreational fishing license before their boat pushed off that day. Therefore, under the rules, the entire team was disqualified, and the runner-up, from Cape Carteret, N.C., got the money. Ouch!

PARENTS LEFT ME HANGIN'

Comedian Woody Allen used to tell a joke about being abondanded by his parents who "left no forwarding address." But that actually happened to Ken Anderson in Vancouver. When Ken was only 15, both his mother, Shirley Anderson, and his father just picked up and moved away with nary a word to their son. Now Ken's 46 and despite this, Shirly is actually suing him for parental support thanks to an archaic 1922 law in British Columbia that obligates adult children to support "dependent" parents! She's demanding $350 per month from Ken and his four siblings-- three of whom were at least 17 when the parents left and thus not considered "abandoned." A judge initially awarded the mother the money based on the law but the siblings are appealing.

HOW MUCH IS THAT PAY PAL

In Houston, Texas, 24-year-old Derek Lanphier got the surprise of his life when his bank balance turned negative to the tune of almost $880,000 after PayPal charged him almost a million dollars. Derek initially panicked after discovering a $3,000 purchase on his PayPal account. He called PayPal and his bank to report the fraud and to stop any further purchases he thought was part of a phishing attack of his account. But panic turned into disbelief when Lanphier saw the negative $888,871.91 balance. He finally started laughing and saved a screenshot of the amount in the Account Activity dashboard to show to his friends. The bank later promised to reverse the charges. Derek said he uses his PayPal account for iTunes puchases.
