Real life superheroes, yes they do exist just not with super powers. They're more like batman except less rich, smart, and badass. They mostly do community service stuff but some of them fight crime. Check it out: http://www.reallifesuperheroes.com/

Whoa check this out it's crazy: http://news.yahoo.com/contact-lost-hypersonic-glider-launch-163016325.html

An unmanned glider developed U.S. defense research was launched on Thursday but shortly after it was launched, contact with the glider was lost after it began flying on its own.

Economics Final Exam

So I just got back from Edison after taking my macroeconomics final exam. I noticed a problem with one of the questions on the test that read:
Which of the following can be used as money?
a. Papayas
b. Whale's Teeth
c. Gold
d. All of the above

The answer was obviously d. but technically gold's intrinsic value exceeds its face value which would mean that gold would cease to function as money. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean that gold could not be used as money? Well either way I got the question right, let me know your thoughts!
