- Starbucks and bankruptcy were made for each other. Coffee drinkers need their fix(es) each and every day, and Starbucks offers a pretty dang good coffee product that makes you want more and more and more. At about $4 a cup, though, it doesn’t take too long to make a sizeable dent in your bank account. SquawkFox has a recipe for a frappuccino it claims is every bit as good as Starbucks, and every bit as fattening, and all the ingredients together cost only $.32. The recipe also discloses the secret ingredient that will make your home-made cup identical to the store-bought. Making it at home will save you about $3.40 a cup over usual Starbucks prices. At one frap a day for a 30-day month, that’s a savings of $102 a month. You can use that money to pay in part for time at the gym.

- “This is a private matter,” said the victim in a California case in which his estranged wife poisoned his food, tied him to a bed, severed his — uh — “private matter,” and threw it into a garbage disposal before calling the police. This development should spice up their pending divorce considerably.
