PayPal accidentally credits man $92 quadrillion
PayPal accidentally credits man $92 quadrillion When Chris Reynolds opened his June PayPal e-mail statement, something was off. The Pennsylvania PR executive’s account balance had swelled to a whopping $92,233,720,368,547,800. That’s $92 QUADRILLION (and change).

‘There’s No Such Thing as Black-on-Black Crime’
Daily Beast: ‘There’s No Such Thing as Black-on-Black Crime’ On Monday, in response to my piece on 17-year-old Darryl Green of Chicago, who was found shot to death after refusing to join a gang at school, Jamelle Bouie of The Daily Beast claimed that “black-on-black crime” is a myth. “There’s no such thing as ‘black-on-black’ crime.
