• The Unification Church controls the U.S. sushi industry, from fishing fleets to suppliers. (Link courtesy Chr. Today)
• Barry Bonds is literally on his last legs
• But, update: It didn't stop him from hitting his second home run in two days to tie the game with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning. Gi'nts lost in 11, however.
• There is a publication called Ultimate Homes, which lists the 1000 most expensive properties in the U.S. Number 12 on the list is $53 million. Their website includes an article on financing. Speaking of real estate, slushpile.net has a post on the recent sale of Jack Kerouac's former home, which wouldn't have made the list, as it sold for only $300,000.
