This Week’s Best Conversational News Stories

Time is running on!

Time is running on!

Friday has come, the weekend is here and now you’ve got to be ready for all the pick-ups, come-ons and awkward silent moments in conversations… that is, unless you’re preaored by reading these great news stories from the past week.

Stay current, be interesting. Get prepared now by reading our conversation topic suggestions below.

- Is a robot or human better at kicking field goals? If you’ve ever been stumped by this question you now have the opportunity to find out the answer. This is good for a few great minutes of conversation and can lead to whole new areas of continuing the conversation too.

- Beware when you’re texting personal messages at work! If the place you work for and they supply you with a phone, they may have every right to “ckeck in” on what personal business you’re dealing with while on company property or using your employers electronics. For me it’s a no-brainer, they own it, they can do what they want, even if it means they are invading your privacy. Will the supreme court agree?

- ‘Balloon Boy’ dad to pay $36,000.00 restitution. I have to ask, is 36K enough of a deterrent to stop the next media-crazed individual to staging a news-worthy event for a media starved public? Time will tell. And you can keep up with today’s most popular video on this page.

- Craigslist Lovers. Henry Russell’s book, Craigslist Casual Encounters: The Hilarious and Disturbing World of Seeking Sex Online, is out listing some of the most freakish encounters that have been attempted to occur through the free classified site. Go ahead and read the article, you need a laugh about now anyways. Order your copy of the book here at Amazon.com

Have a great weekend!
