Woman Rescued After 2 Days; Stuck Under Car Looking For Keys
Note:
A 91-year-old woman who had crawled under her car to look for her keys ended up stuck beneath an axle for two days until her mail carrier noticed letters piling up, police said. Firefighters lifted the car with a jack and removed Betty Borowski, who was dehydrated and confused. It turned out her keys were in the car door. Poor thing.

Count Cards - Wired How-To Wiki
Note:
Statistically speaking, you are doomed to lose at every game on the casino floor unless, that is, you can count cards. At the blackjack table, speedy math skills can flip the advantage from the house to you. Granted, its a small edge 2 percent at best, which is nowhere near as good as dragging Rain Man to Vegas. But what have you got to lose? (Oh, yeah, all that money.)
