Calling Geraldo Rivera: millions of E.T. game cartridges to be dug up

http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_25636653/diggers-ready-unearth-ataris-e-t-games-new?source=rss

Hidden for three decades in a landfill deep in the New Mexico desert lie thousands of Atari cartridges from what is widely believed to be worst video game ever made -- or so the urban legend goes.

A group of filmmakers hopes to get to the bottom of the mystery Saturday by digging up the concrete-covered landfill in search of up to a million discarded copies of "E.T. The Extraterrestrial" that the game's maker wanted to hide forever. The game and its contribution to the demise of Atari have been the source of fascination for video game enthusiasts for 30 years, and the search for the cartridges will be featured in an upcoming documentary about the biggest video game company of the early '80s.

Leading employment-related WTF of the year

I am sitting in front of the downtown Seattle Sears, which is both the oldest on the West Coast and being closed by Crazy Eddie because he's incompetent.

There are three doors. Two of them have Going Out of Business signs. The third has a Now Hiring sign.

Now hiring to do WHAT? Sweep the floor after all the stock is gone?

Ever seen those "if 10% is good enough for Jesus..." bumper stickers?

My brother spouts that crap all the time, so I did his taxes for him. Truck drivers have lots of deductions available to them and he uses them all.

Long story short: him paying 10 percent to the IRS would be a 600 percent tax increase.

Read Amy's Baking Company's employee contract

The worst part: if they fire you for whatever reason, you can't work in another restaurant or open a restaurant of your own within a 50-mile radius of Scottsdale, Ariz., for a full year.
