Everyone has wondered what they would spend the money on if they hit the lottery jackpot. Of course we would all sort our family out and fix any personal financial issues, of course we would take our mates on vacation, of course we would invest in some health fixes. But what about the left over cash? What about those crazy things you always wanted to do! Well some lottery winners really have gone hog wild with their money and The Richest put together a list of 5 of the strangest ways people have spent their cash.

Here are the 5 they came up with:

5. Robert Erb: Donated money to causes he believed in….including legalizing pot

4. The 19-year-old who blew his winnings on a sexy wrestling show

3. The man who built a $200 000 water park

2. The Florida senior who paid $2 million to fix up her old school.

1. The man who gave $40 000 000 away to charity.

Details about each one can be seen here.

As fun as the list is I don’t actually think they are that crazy, ok maybe the water park is out there and the TV show, but there must be some winners have have genuinely gone insane with the cash, done something unbelievably outlandish!

Money does strange things to people and I know no matter how level headed you think you would stay it would turn us all a little loopy, even if only temporary.

So what crazy thing would you do with a lottery windfall?

I can’t honestly think what I would do! Maybe i’d buy a load of animals and set them free in the wild (responsibly of course).

Greedy parents throw worst baby shower ever – Ok, the shower itself may not have been that bad but it’s the aftermath that has the mommy blogs (and rightly so) talking.

Mommyish.com published a story about a woman who was invited to the baby shower of a women with whom she shared some mutual friends and who she sat next to in graduation. The woman decided not to attend the baby shower as she did not know the mother-to-be that well.

Of course this is fine, right? Well apparently not as she then received a crafted poem that is quite frightful and bleeds of pure greed! The poem read:

We’re sorry you missed the shower!

There was fun and games to be had
The food and drinks not too bad
The loot was a plenty
But we looked high and low and found none from you
Not even a shiny penny!

Babies need a lot
Of this fact we all know
So we’ve included some shops below!

If none are to your liking, and that we understand
Then grab a pen and get to writing
For checks are to our liking!

The *** Family is registered at these stores and checks can be mailed to this address.

WTF!!!!! Ok, we know babies are expensive but essentially berating people to get them to pay up (especially after you already paid out for a shower) is simply awful and seriously bad etiquette.

It was also said people who did attend and did not bring a satisfactory gift got a “nasty” little poem. That can be read here too.

I’m seriously disgusted by some peoples attitudes, especially when it comes to money.

We should feel pleasure just to celebrate with people and never ever ever care about the value of a gift. If you invite someone to a party their presence should be the only gift they HAVE to bring.

Do you agree?

If the parents meant this all as a joke then they seriously missed the mark!!!

Australians apply in vain for which Sri Lankan job? – The allure of working in an exotic country is something many of us want to follow and it seems that one job in Sri Lanka has attracted a few foreign applicants after they have been having trouble recruiting from within! Despite the interest from two Australians this Sri Lankan job may not be able to consider them because the authority does not have the means to recruit from outside. So what is the job?

Well the empty post is for the job of hangman! The last official executioner is said to have become upset at the sight of the gallows and quit, two others before him never showed for work! You just can’t get the staff these days, eh!

While death and death penalties are not funny in this instance there has not been a public execution since 1976. However there are over 400 prisoners on death row and some public officials and politicians are calling for the death penalty to become practise again.

SMH reported:

”Two Australians have sent emails to one of our departments saying that they are interested,” Chandrarathna Pallegama, commissioner general of prisons, told Reuters on Thursday.

”One is a system administrator and the other had not mentioned the job he is doing,” he said. ”We have not called the applications, moreover we do not have any provisions to recruit foreigners.”

Would you take a role in a position like this? It could mean you don’t actually have to do any executions but there is always a possibility!

Man returns wallet with $4,800 in cash – What would you do if you found close to $5000 in cash on the sidewalk in a lost wallet? I like to think I would return it but of course the hypothetical question is something that you’ll always give the moral answer to. I have never been tested for real but now one man has! And guess what, he returned it!

The mail carrier, from Jersey City, found the wallet on the sidewalk and it contained a huge wad of $100 bills, $4800 in total! As a man of morals he got in contact with the owner, returned the wallet and refused to accept a reward! The NJ Postal service did send him a $100 gift card and a letter of appreciation.

Now, the man who lost the wallet obviously got a shock when it was returned. He wasn’t some rich guy who just wanders around with a stuffed wallet all the time, the story is quite heart warming.

He had drawn out the cash as a late Christmas present for his kids but lost the wallet on his way home in a snow storm. He had decided the money was gone and obviously devastated.

The two men posed together for photos on the wallets return. They can be seen here: http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2014/03/jersey_city_mail_carrier_finds_4800_returns_it_to_retired_reverend_united_states_postal_service.html

These stories are nice to hear and let us know there is some morality out there in an often immoral world.

Kristian Nairn gay – You may be wondering who on earth Nairn is but know that he is yet another known entertainer to come out as gay. In my opinion we should applaud each and every person who stands up and proudly displays who they are. So we applaud you Kristian Nairn.

Now this story is kind of funny, Kristian is an Irish actor in the hit show Game of Thrones and he plays the near mute character Hodor.

I guess not being a heart throb, or a central character (yet, who knows with this show) he has not really been in the limelight to be asked questions about his sexuality. In a joking way he says he has been trying to come out for years but it’s not just something you blurt out! MSN reported:

He tells WinterIsComing.net that he has been trying to ‘come out’ for years – but no one asked him the right question.

He explains, “I’ve never hidden my sexuality from anyone… and I’ve been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview, because it’s not something you just blurt out. I’ve tried to lead the questions a few times, to no avail!

“It’s a very small part of who I am, on the whole, but nonetheless, in this day and age, it’s important to stand up and be counted. I have and always will stand my ground.”

That’s pretty funny! Good for him for being so relaxed and forward about it.
