SPLURGE your ENTIRE salary...
...on some of the worlds most expensive pieces of furniture.
Here is a floating bed which hovers above the ground through magnetic force and comes with a price tag of $1.54 million. Magnets built into the floor and into the bed itself repel each other, pushing the bed up into the air. Thin steel cables tether the bed in place. Hope those cables don't pop!!!
Ron Arad's stainless steel sofa is retailed at $300,000. Can't you see yourself lounging on this on a Sunday afternoon!??
Marc Newson's Lockheed Lounge sold for £1,105,250 at a London Design sale in 2006. That's $1,727,865.51 for you silly Americans.Thursday, December 9, 2010

McDonalds the Crook
This post has nothing to do with the purpose of my blog, but I have this thought so I might as well get it out.So, I went to McDonald's today and I asked how much the cheese burgers were (they weren't on the drive thru menu) and I was told that they were $1.12 each with tax... so I order 2. I get to the window and the cashier tells me me that m total is $2.25.. I say "don't you mean $2.24? They are $1.12 each right? Where does that other penny come from??" she said that she didn't know. So I'm not one to complain over a penny (a dime maybe) so I paid the the money...BUT it got me thinking....WHAT IF this is McDonalds way of ripping people off!!
hummmm........
According to their website, McDonalds serve 47 million people a day worldwide. If 10% of their customers order 2 cheese burgers a day at 1 penny more than it is supposed to be, then Mcdonalds will make $47,000 a day!!! Thats about $1,410,000 a month, $16,920,000 a year!!! and thats only from 10% of customers...Imagine if they were doing this with all the orders and not just 10%...they would make $169,200,000 a year...WOW! I think I may sue Mc.Donalds for all the times that they may have cheated me and for the mental anguish of just thinking about this.
