In one of the closest and most dramatic races I have ever witnesses in swimming, Michael Phelps, just an hour ago won his 7th Gold medal of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China. Phelps, in the 100m Butterfly, won the race. Having said this, at first look, everyone in the arena thought Michael Phelps had come in second and won the Silver.
The race was so close, that from a naked eye probably all 100 million people watching the Olympics on NBC thought Phelps had come shy of his 7th Gold metal. Even his mom put up 2 fingers signifying 2nd place. The 100m (Meter) Butterfly is ones of Phelp’s less dominant races, however most expected him to win by more the the 0.01 second he did. Milorad Cavic of Serbia took the silver with a time of 50.59 seconds, just missing the Gold to Phelps who ran the 100m in 50.58 seconds. Phelps’s 7th gold medal made him match Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics.
All I can say is that these Olympic games have been more memorable to me then any Olympics I ever recall. Granted I am only 32 years old, however, between this race, the 200meter really ion which Phelps and company overcame a huge gap in the final 20 meters to win gold, as well as numerous other exciting events, I have been more excited then I was even when I favorite NFL franchise, the Giants won the Superbowl last year!

BigFoot Press Conference Details
As many of you bigfoot fans know out there, a Press Conference has been scheduled to go over the facts of the recent BigFoot discovery in Georgia. The press conference is taking place toay, August 15th, at 3PM eastern time, 12pm local time in Palo Alto California.
What we plan on doing is constantly updating this blog post with the latest details that come out of the press conference about bigfoot. All information will be recorded below and updated as soon as we get the information from the conference. The news Conference will feature Tom Biscardi, CEO of Searchingforbigfoot.com, and they will supposedly present the public with DNA evidence of the creature that was found in Northern Georgia.
Some critics ask why don’t they just show the public the body of the creature instead of just giving scientific studies and evidence. Well, Tom Biscardi is a known entrepreneur and will do anything for a buck. If this is legit like he claims, Biscardi will be making a Bigfoot documentary showing the creature and the proof. Of course if this is legit Biscardi will likely become an overnight multimillionaire. If it’s a hoax then he certainly has made a full of himself.
Press Conference Update:
Tom Biscardi — CEO of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc, who also spoke at the event — said DNA tests had been conducted by Dr. Curt Nelson, a biologist at the University of Minnesota. The tests, he said, came back with three results: one showing inconclusive data, another indicating the creature was human, and another indicating it was a possum. That, Biscardi said, was probably because it had eaten a possum.
No actual evidence of any of this outside of Biscardi’s verbal claims were presented. Biscardi mentioned that he was waiting for a friend of his — a scientist at Stanford — to get back from vacation before releasing any further proof.

Was Liz Taylor Murdered?
Well we had 134 emails in our inbox this morning asking “was Liz Taylor murdered”? The answer to this pathetic question is Elizabeth “Liz” Taylor was not murdered is is alive and well.
We did some research on this to try and figure out why so many internet users were under the impression that she was in fact murdered. Unsurprised, I found that there is a massive spam email being sent out to probably hundreds of thousands of people, disguised as an MSNBC breaking news email claiming that Liz Taylor was Murdered Tuesday Evening. The emails are titled: BREAKING NEWS” followed by headline “Elizabeth Taylor found murdered at home”.
This is what a snippet from a spammed email box looks like which includes the Liz Taylor email:
The 76 tear old Elizabeth Taylor is fine we are happy to say, and this was just another pathetic person hiding behind internet proxies trying to make a few extra bucks but making up yet another fake story. If anyone has the headers from the spam email you got, please feel free to post them as a comment here for everyone to see.

BigFoot Found in Georgia
The Internet is buzzing about claims that a Bigfoot creature has been found in the Northern Georgia woods. BigFoot, also known as “Big Foot” is the half man, half gorilla animal that has had reports worldwide of sightings. In fact A movie “Bigfoot” was even made about the creature.
We are not sure if the photo, shown below is real or just a tactic used by the owner of the Searchingforbigfoot.com website in order to drive traffic to the page. Whether it is true or not, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer claim that they discovered this animal in Northern Georgia a couple days ago, and will be holding a press conference in Palo Alto California on Friday August 15th at noon local time.
Here are a few facts the 2 men have released about the BigFoot Discovery they have made in Georgia. They also claim that they will be releasing DNA evidence of the creature as well as more photos at the press conference on Friday:
* It is male.
* It has reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes.
* It has two arms and two legs, and five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot.
* The feet are flat and similar to human feet.
* The creature is seven feet seven inches tall.
* It weighs over five hundred pounds.
* The creature looks like it is part human and part ape-like.
* Its footprint is sixteen and three-quarters inches long and five and three-quarters inches wide at the heel.
* From the palm of the hand to the tip of the middle finger, its hands are eleven and three-quarters inches long and six and one-quarter inches wide.
* The creatures walk upright. (Several of them were sighted on the same day that the body was found.)
* The teeth are more human-like than ape-like.
* DNA tests are currently being done and the current DNA and photo evidence will be presented at the press conference on Friday, August 15th.
Hoax or an amazing discovery? We will all know by Friday I guess, if Bigfoot really does exist or not.

The Second Brother on the Right
Anyone watching the Olympics on Tv today and yesterday have seen the story of the so called Second Brother on the Right. In response to the guys recent appearances on NBC and other television stations worldwide, we have had an overwhelming number of emails asking us just who is the Second Brother on the Right? The man himself has supposedly received dozens of marriage proposals from women, mainly Chinese.
This man, Pictured below is pretty much the Olympic Torch guard who spent weeks to the right of the Olympic torch, protecting it from protesters who were against China and their dismal human rights record. One female fa of the Second Brother claimed “He is so hot and he is the pride of China! What more could a girl want?” Anyway we are still trying to figure out his full name as it doesn’t seem like it is being given at any of the media outlets quite yet. Once we do we will update this post with the full name to go along with the picture below. Feel free to comment on this post if you know the guys name as well.

Brian Krassenstein & Edward Krassenstein,Thank You Both
A Quick Story of 2 Guys, The Krassenstein Brothers, who save people a bunch of money but continue to be slandered for it.
Ok Well Over the last 3-4 years I have been involved in literally dozens of business ventures online. This blog is not really one of them. Anyhow In this time I have spent hours and hours learning about domain investing, finance, online stock trading, and web advertising formats. Two guys who have been their for me to model my business after were Brian Krassenstein and Edward Krassenstein. In fact this very blog which I use to write about crazy topics each day has it’s hosting provided for by Eddie Krassenstein’s smileyhosting.com. Particularly Brian has spent hours of his time dealing with issues I had when I made a rather stupid investment mistake in some Internet scheme. You see, Brian as well as Edward warned me about this scheme called PIPs (People in Profit System) and saved me over $1200. Back in 2006 when PIPs was all the rage, another site owned by the Krassenstein brothers, Talkgold.com, was probably one of the few places where one could get an unbiased view of the scheme. In this time, it was aledged that the mangers of PIPs had contacted Brian and Edward Krassenstein with death threats for allowing the Pips scheme to be unraveled on the Krassenstein’s forum. Brian stated boldly at the time, “I will not allow some internet threat to change my moral grounds of free speech, nor will I sit by and allow hundreds of people to be censored from the truth of this scam.”
This is why I was amazed when I performed a search on Google the other day for the Krassenstein brothers and found that there names are still being attacked and slandered for the bold actions they took. You see, When Brian and Eddie started allowing victims of the PIPs scheme to post at their forum, it enraged the dozens of promoters of PIPs who were relying on a clean scam free exterior for the program. This fed the promoters with a deep hate for the Krassensteins who would later be credited in Owen Platts Book, “Just Numbers on a Screen,” for their actions.
Anyway I just wanted to take the time to Thank both Brian Krassenstein and Eddie Krassenstein for what they have taught me, and for the help they provided me both in a knowledge base and financial sense. The lesson here is to stand your moral ground, but expect the worse in people to come out should you step on their scamming toes, like Both Brian and Edward had done with the Pips Scammers, Bryan Marsden and company.
Brian, Feel free to email me at incentivetgh@yahoo.com as I had trouble finding your details and would like to get in touch with you if you read this for some reason.
For more information on the Pips scam and how the various people, websites, and government bodies worked together to bring down one of the internets biggest schemes, check out Owen Platts Book “Numbers on a Screen”.

Site Meter (Sitemeter.com) Internet Explorer Mess
We had several reports this morning of a widespread internet outage for those using Microsoft Internet Explorer to access any website that uses the Site Meter, Sitemeter.com tracking codes. There has been no word from Site Meter as of yet but this outage seems to stem from the sitemeter code itself. Users who use Firefox, Safari and other browsers seem to be ok, but IE users are having their browsers crash. Below is an image of the Internet Explorer error that is popping up on internet users screens when accessing a site using sitemeter.com:
Currently the only known was to fix this from a webmasters point of view is to remove sitemeter for the time being. If you are an internet surfer then simply block the *.sitemeter url for now.
