Fatal Attractions - Group Chimp Mauling

I find this interesting for the military science aspect. The Chimp, a close cousin to he human species, conducted an organized ambush tactic on their target. Also interesting is someone's comments that,

"Chips are actully one of the most dangerous animals because, they are 6 times stronger then us and they have the ability to rip off our arms from our sockets. and second thing is when chimps attack they go for the arms and and face and then the testicles."

These hand to hand combat techniques have to be relearned in many humans because we seem to have lost those natural kill or be killed survival tactics.

How to turn $100 investment into $600 a year for life!

So before I loose your interest, I seriously ran the numbers and not shit, if you follow the following five (yes numeral 5) things, and you can honestly see a return on your investment of 50% per month!

That is, you invest $100 ONCE, and receive a return on that investment of $50 a month for as long as you choose to stay invested. Let's see... $600 a year times 10 years is $6,000K.

So do I have your attention? Are you seriously ready to hear how you can turn a $100 investment into potentially a $50 return every month for your life?  Okay, here's how...

Get your current energy bills together (electric, gas, oil, water etc) and total them up... If possible, look back over the past 12 months and get a running average. For example, in our home (which is a rental property) we were paying $250 a month (on average) in utilities. By investing $100 in your home, you will see $50 in savings starting the very first month. That means you will make your money back in two months and start seeing a return on your investment in three months. Most investments takes 6 months or even years to see a return.

5. Install a programable thermostat:
Cost: $25 to $50 (depending on model).
Savings: $20 on average per month (could be higher depending on how you program).

4. Install a blanket on your hot water heater:
Cost: $18 to $35
Savings: $5 per month

3. Install weather stripping around doors and windows:
Cost: $5 to $20
Savings: $5 per month

4. install plastic film with low-emissivity (low-E) coating:
Cost: $45
Savings: $10 per month

For an explanation of low-E glass itself, go here: http://www.reuk.co.uk/Low-E-Double-Glazing.htm

5.  Clean and replace filters on HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) System:
Cost: $20
Savings: $10 monthly

$50 savings per month = $600 per year
