Mystery of the money that is a mystery in itself: An Australian entrepreneur’s claim that he is the founder of the digital currency Bitcoin was met by skepticism from some experts, but was believed by others.
The Buzz thinks that the ultimate test of whether this guy is for real would be to ask him if he can coherently explain what Bitcoin is, how it is supposed to work, and why anybody should care.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1765, the first medical school in the American colonies was founded in Philadelphia.
Medicine sure was a lot different in those days. For one thing, leeches were used to treat patients, rather than to pressure them to pay their bills afterward.
I’ll have a triple-shot venti skinny mocha with extra faux outrage: An Illinois woman has filed a class-action lawsuit against Starbucks, claiming the Seattle-based coffee giant’s iced drinks contain too much ice and not enough coffee.
The Buzz has a hunch that leeches had something to do with this situation, too.
