I'll disabuse you of that notion in the hallway with a prosthetic limb

The notion of unconditional love seems like an antiquated concept in the age of Las Vegas weddings, 24 hour marriages, and ubiquitous divorces; and it appears that Sir Paul McCartney is paying dearly for his beliefs. A quick search on Google News reveals that Heather Mills will be receiving a $68 million divorce settlement to conclude a marriage of less than 4 years -- she's being paid over $17M/year of their marriage, or about $46,575/day, or about $32/minute (I'm told that that is a significantly higher rate than a 1-900 number or an escort). Do you realize how many starving children in Africa could be fed for that amount? If she were to only take $30/minute and donate the difference to one of those dollar a day foundations, she could support 24 orphans and give Angelina Jolie and Madonna a run for their money.

I find it difficult to be very sympathetic towards Paul. One should have to pay for one's stupidity and it seems to me that anyone that has found truly unconditional love would want to sign a prenuptial agreement to illustrate that the marriage was not incentivized by money. However, I am concerned about the $68 million windfall that his ex is receiving; giving someone who tries to influence an unrelated country's domestic policy regarding clubbing seal such a substantial sum of money could be detrimental. Fortunately, karma will be restored, in part; bookies everywhere are going out on a limb and are taking bets about whether Heather's leg will fall off during her upcoming performances on "Dancing with the Stars."

On a much more positive note, here is the story of a cute penguin that was saved near Japan.

I wonder how many penguins one could buy for $68 million?

At least three.
