Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: Anti-gun laws can’t stop man from robbing stores armed with a….potato!

In (maybe not so) paranoid Rhode Island a man almost got away with robbing two stores, and even his sister, armed with a freakin’ potato!

He tried to tell his victims that he had a gun, but the store employees didn’t buy it.  One store employee gave the potato armed robber a fake 20 dollar bill, the manager of the other store chased him away with a baseball bat.   The spud headed robber’s sister was the only one who lost real money.

Business/Economics, Idaho, Technology, U.S.

It’s official: Idaho’s internet services suck!

After decades spending millions of dollars to get Idahoan’s connected to the World Wide Web, Idaho has the slowest connection speed in the U.S.

Pando Networks surveyed 4 million internet customers across the country, and found Idaho’s average connection speed to be 318 kilobytes per second, with 83% completion rate.

Idaho’s northern neighbor, Montana, and eastern neighbor Wyoming, also made the slow connection list.  Wyoming actually has a slightly faster connection rate, than Idaho.

Two of Idaho’s other neighbors, Washington and Oregon, made the top 15 fastest rates.

So who’s number one in the United States for internet connection speed?  Tiny old Rhode Island: 894 KPbs!
