Here in San Mateo County, many gas stations are starting to sport prices above $4.00 per gallon. The trusty Gas and Shop down the street is still holding on to $3.93 per gallon but it seems inevitable that gas will cross that $4.00 mark. Funnily enough, some of the older gas pumps around the country in rural areas are experiencing a technical issue similar to the Y2K problem. Read on to see what it is.

In what can only be described as a fusion of insanity and insanity, Aqua One brings you The Fish 'n Flush! (via Tao of Making Money!)
