Picture of the Day
Charles "Carl" Panzram was an American serial killer, rapist, arsonist, robber and burglar. In prison confessions and in his autobiography, Panzram claimed to have committed 21 murders and more than 1,000 acts of sodomy of boys and men.

1. Inflation in the last year was 4.2%. If you get (or got) a raise less than that, then you got a pay cut
