Epic Comic Collection Donated to U of M
March 5th, 2008

Comic Collection Donated to U of MHere is great story about a man and his love for comic books. The article is written by the wife of John Borger, a man who has just donated his collection of more than 40,000 comic books to the University of Minnesota.

After John had made all the arrangements to donate the books, I visited their final resting place. A delightful young woman took me to the lowest cavern, which is two stories high and the length of two football fields. This is where the books are kept at the optimum 62 degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 50 percent relative humidity, in acid free boxes on shelves lit by lights on timers like the knob you turn in a hotel bathroom for a sunlamp. Collections appraised at more than $100,000 carry the donor’s name.

Bart Simpson donates $10 million to Scientology
February 1st, 2008

Bart Simpson: Scientologist
Yeah I know. That’s pretty messed up. I had no idea that the voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright was a Scientologist. She donated $10 million to the Church of Scientology last year.

Interestingly, that donation is twice her annual salary and twice the amount Tom Cruise donated. That cheapass. Now I understand why the production quality of his latest video is so crap.

Here’s a list of the largest donations:

Nancy Cartwright, 50, Patron Laureate Award: $10 million
Tom Cruise, 46, Diamond Meritorious: $5 million
Kirstie Alley, 57, Diamond Meritorious Award: $5 million
John Travolta, 53, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million
Kelly Preston, 45, Gold Meritorious Award: $1 million
Priscilla Presley, 62, Patron Award: $50,000

Congratulations douchebags. Next time, give the money to the needy, promote world peace or something.
