    Yeah. Then again, a guy who only spends time with himself can save money pretty quickly.

    reminded me of this:

    ….”[earth] has, or had, a problem which was this: Most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper… which is odd, because on the whole, it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy…”

    Well, it's not really selfless, when you're dead. I agree, though, that he at least donated it to a good charity.

    Ek het gehoop dat dit 'n hartverwarmende storie sou wees. Ongelukkig is dit nog 'n plaasmoord wat gebeur het. Iemand met so 'n groot hart wat so wreed vermoor is.

    The robbers had to make a decision. Fork out some money for a mask so they could not be identified later or kill the witness so he could not identify them. Masks are expensive these days..

    oh yes i wonder how many adults lives will be changed because of this generous kindness. sorry but it's not going to benefit the children at all. been there got the t-shirt. even if it goes into a trust this money won't even get to the children in the home.
