  WannaBe: Oh, freakin' Capital A, just saw the trailer for Deadpool 2, and I almost died laughing.

If you have not seen the first Deadpool (No, not the Eastwood movie), and don't appreciate/like the humour. Well, I'm sorry.

The trailer for Deadpool 2 is absolutely LMFFFAO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4t...

No, serious(ly), you get to see his ass in the trailer... Maybe its the stunt double, in which case, it was me.

  WannaBe: Holy Guacamole, Rupert Murdoch have reported(ly) sold his $125M, that's MILLION stake in Theranos back to the company for $1.

ONE DOLLAR.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rupo...

Guess he is competing with Bill Ackman on who can lose more money, but as of right now, Bill's got him beat.

<Theranos>

Interesting name. Do you think his parents named him after their favorite TV show, <The Sopranos>, but had to shorten it after he was born because of a copyright complaint?

  WannaBe: Theranos is the company name, owner/CEO, founder is Elizabeth Holmes.

Been following this case/story for almost 2.5 years now...

  WannaBe: Strange, news articles said iOS 10.3 was released yesterday, but when I checked my iPad, it says my 10.2.1 is up to date.

Have apple already yank'd 10.3 because of screw ups, or does my (old) iPad not support it?

Have to do some diggin'...
