1,784 million, trillion dollars please... thanks.

Man sues Bank of America for 1, 784, million, trillion dollars. Why you ask? Because he was displeased by their incredibly unreliable customer service.

Just to throw it in there, he added that the person who gave him the unsatisfactory assistance over the phone was in fact a "Spanish woman". Just a typical description, or a slight hint at a man with low racial tolerance? You pass the verdict. Either way, this man and the absurd amount of money he demands are going no where fast.

1,784 million, trillion dollars dwarfs the world's 2008 gross domestic product of $60 trillion, as estimated by the World Bank. On top of this, he luckily gets set with the judge who sentenced Bernie Madoff to a 150-year prison sentence for his $65 billion Ponzi scheme a few months back. This mans point again? Is this some sort of customer service road rage, or does he deserve to be commended for his "heroic" attempt to bring BofA to its knees? Who knows.

Maybe he just wanted to make someone laugh. 'Cause I sure did.

evolution.

the evolution of the style and influence of dance can be traced back years past our own generation. it's fluidity resonates from dancers of past to present and can be felt as strong today as it was back then.



here is a perfect mesh of early 1920-30's dance with a modern twist from our folks in Daft Punk.



enjoy.

rangers, zords and octagons.. oh my.

You heard right ladies and gents. Tommy, the Green Ranger, is coming back into the public eye (after stealing Jason's spotlight) after all those years on the Power Rangers to fight in the UFC.





Feeling nostalgic? Just a little. Okay, maybe more than that. The UFC has by far established itself as a prime force in martial art competition; and the jump from a 90's children's show to the Ultimate Fighting Championship is one for the ages. Ex-WWF wrestler Brock Lesnar has become a pretty damn successful example in terms of making a jump from one realm of the business to another, and though it has been a tough ride, his success has been measured by his victories. This is the story in all sports, and the case will not change for the 'green one'.





How well do you think our childhood friend will do? Well the word through the grapevine is that Tommy, alright, his real name is Jason David Frank- yes, three first names- has been training with UFC lightweight Melvin Guillard. Plus, with the martial arts background he has had since the Mighty Morphin' days, this may not be as difficult a transition as it seems.





From an interview on the Suckerpunch website, Jason said "I was supposed to fight in 2007, but it fell through. In truth, I've wanted to to put the work in until I'm ready... I know I have a target on my back. Everyone is going to want to beat up the Green Ranger." Slow your roll Tommy, don't think you have that big a target on your back.. yet.





Truth be told, we may never see him in the octagon, yet the chance is there, and if he takes it, we may be seeing a glorious comeback or a dismal attempt at a return to the spotlight.





Hopefully, for childhood's sake, it's the former rather than the latter.
