Annoying spam emails sent to you every day minus the annoying spam.

Wise Geek. It has the word geek in it, so it's awesome. Wise Geek is just like one of the email services that you signed up for without knowing it 5 months ago that joined the party of 100 email 'newsletters' that you still haven't unsubscribed to even though you said that you will do it yesterday and the day before. The only difference is, you don't want to unsubscribe. It's like one of those fact a day things, but a lot cooler. For example, here is the one that I received today:

Do Many NFL Players Go Bankrupt?

Within two years after finishing their careers, about 78% of NFL players go
bankrupt.

The average yearly salary for National Football League (NFL) players is
more than $1 million US Dollars (USD), but NFL players have one of the
highest bankruptcy rates of any profession. About 78% of NFL players go
bankrupt within two years after retirement. One factor is thought to be a
high divorce rate, which is estimated to range from 60% to 80% of
professional athletes and typically occurs after retirement, when there is
no longer the same income stream. Another factor is thought to be players
investing their funds in fraudulent or risky ventures. Professional
football players also have an average career span of just 3.5 years and can
be cut from teams after injuries — often losing any salary they were due
to earn in future seasons — whereas athletes in some other sports, such
as Major League Baseball, typically have fully guaranteed contracts.


Yesterday I found out why cats are so flexible, and the day before that I found out when football helmets became mandatory. Pretty cool. Check them out!
