In another news story man becomes rich never has to work after divorcing his wife early this year.

He had to sell his house in February and put 350k on Afterpay shares, sold the shares at earlier this week when the share price rise to nearly $49.... and made a cool $1.7m

Says he's just happy he doesn't have to deal with his ex. He's looking to see if any 18 year old girls need a sugar daddy.



Ohh that was fake news.

If someone came up and told you the name of the pilot flying Asiana Flight 214, which crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, was "Captain Sum Ting Wong" you'd call him out on an offensive joke, right? That didn't happen with the anchor of a newscast by KTVU in San Francisco.
