$10 Million for a Book... Really?

http://www.wishtv.com/dpps/news/strange/rare-audubon-birds-of-america-auctioned-for-10m-ob10-jgr_3671474

The worlds most expensive book listes at ten million dollars. The book is by John James Audubon. Its title is "Birds of America". It consists of pictures of birds.

Are you serious? Ten million dollars for a book of birds. That has to be the biggest waste of money anyone could ever spend. If someone is going to buy a ten million dollar book they should just give the money to a charity. What a waste of time, and money. Some people are just plain stupid to even think about buying a book that expensieve. I would never buy a book over a hundred dollars.

TCU joins the Big East

http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/ncf/news/story?id=5862368

Texas Christian University has just recently joined the Big East conference in all athletic sports starting the 2012 academic year.

I personally believe this is a bad idea and a cry for help. Big East has teams that are located in New York and near the east coast. The athletic teams of TCU will have to travel hours for a game. Conference teams are supposed to be close to each other, having to travel all the way to New York from Texas is rediculous. I believe that it is a cry for help because they only want to join the Big East, who is horrible at football, so that they can easily win and get a BCS automatic bid. Boise State just joined their old conference and I belive TCU is scared and wanted to get out.
