Leader of Hungary's Anti-Semitic Party Finds Out He's Jewish

In a story that might be considered sort of a cautionary tale for groups that pilfer hate and fear of your neighbors, Csanad Szegedi—the leader of Hungary's overtly anti-Semitic Jobbik Party—has discovered that he is Jewish. Very Jewish. As in, both of his grandparents spent years in Nazi concentration camps. This came as a tough blow for a man who continuously railed against the "Jewishness" of Hungary's political elite. He was first confronted with the evidence back in 2010, by a prisoner who had evidence of Szegedi's mother's Jewish roots. Szegedi bribed the man to keep him quiet, but rumors spread and, in June, he resigned from all party positions.

Italian Crime Group Stopped from Ruining World Economy

While most crime seems fairly localized and generally not a James Bond plot, a new story from Italy is pretty much the craziest thing you'll read today. Fake U.S. Treasury Bonds worth trillions of dollars were seized by Italian forces in Zurich, Switzerland. Authorities say the fake funds could have greatly harmed the worldwide economy. So basically, Dr. Evil is real and at large ...

Apple Predicts Its Own Future

Yesterday, the Internet almost exploded trying to anticipate and digest Apple's announcement of the iPhone 4S. One of the most touted features of the phone is a voice assistant dubbed Siri, which honestly seems like magic. But did you know they predicted Siri back in 1987 (they also kind of predicted the iPad)? And it was supposed to release in September 2011? Seriously, the video is below ...
