There are a lot of cartoon/fictional Kevins who are jerks. Like Kevin from home alone. He's mean

Well what do you expect if its name is Kevin? (The name Kevin is very unpopular in Germany because .... lets say because of prejudices)

Is Neal a shark? I find it hard for a small fish to murder another small fish. The only animals capable of killing there own species are the murderous. The tyrannical. HUMAN BEINGS!

Molly, platys and guppies shouldn't be in a home with goldfish, they have different requirements. Kevin and Neal are not the problem, the jerk that owns the tank is!!

The US ad website Craigslist has its roots in 1995 when Craig Newmark created an email distribution list for his friends that featured local events in the San Francisco Bay Area.

As of now, Craigslist operates in 70 countries and more than 700 cities. Wow. The first non-English languages that Craigslist supported were Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese — this happened in 2008.

I worked in an office that kept a typewriter around for when we needed to make corrections to signed forms and other documents. A young attorney asked me if I could show him how to turn it on, so I did. He sat down and then just looked at it—he couldn’t figure out how to put the paper in—and yet he somehow thought he was going to white-out some text to be replaced with other text? I took pity on him and did it for him in just a couple of minutes. Sometimes being old really pays off.

Now, let’s talk numbers because they’re jaw-droppingly huge. Craigslist has over 20 billion (that’s right, that’s a ‘b’, not an ‘m’) page views each month (this one’s an ‘m’, though), and it had more than 49.4 million unique monthly visitors in the US alone.

Craigslist also has 80 million new classified ads each month. The numbers are so stunningly big that it makes perfect sense why there are so many ads that have us laughing out loud.

But what happens when this original person wants to find a job after graduation, while not actually knowing anything? Won't it be very obvious that they never attended uni? And the person doing this, will have a degree, but never be able to prove it/use it. That's a shame too.
