Oh there are soooo many "woman driver" jokes I could have made here! 

A young woman from Ecourse, MI was driving through Detroit at about 1AM on Friday morning when she noticed that something was wrong with the way her car was handling. The teenaged driver pulled over into a nearby service station, thinking that she had a flat tire, when it was discovered that the problem was indeed much worse – a dead body was wedged into the vehicle’s front suspension.

Apparently, the deceased was the victim of a prior hit-and-run, and had been left lying in the road when the second driver came along and snagged the corpse with the undercarriage of her vehicle. It’s estimated that she drove about two miles with the body dangling underneath before realizing that something was wrong. She will not be charged for any wrongdoing, and the perpetrator of the hit-and-run is being sought by police.

AdSense payment now available via EFT, finally!

 For those websites out there like ItsNbits which, to help offset costs, rely on Google AdSense ads on their website  (where they get paid when a visitor clicks on an ad), Google has just announced that in addition to the inefficient check as payment method, they are now allowing payment via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) straight into your bank account on the 15th of each month.

Until now Google has required checks to be the method of payment, meaning on the 15th of each month a check was dispatched and arrived 5-10 days later, then had to be cashed.

 Now, in 20 countries, Google is allowing direct bank deposit into your nominated account.

The countries currently covered are:

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
