Foy and Louisa Brown live in what might be called the greatest house ever. No, it's not a mansion up on a hill, or a 1,000 acre ranch on the prairie. They live in a floating cottage in Maine, and it is  amazing . That's right, it's floating. It took the Brown's 10 years to build their cottage, which was completed in 2010. The original plan had been to rent the cottage out to tourists, but it was too beautiful. They decided to live there instead. It was probably the best decision they every made. I mean look at this place, who wouldn't want to live here?! Looks so peaceful. Nicole Wolf That's a neighborhood I'd like to live in.

This isn't the 1940's anymore. Gone is the street-style con-man who relies on his charm and his wolf's smile to get the few bills you have in your wallet. Con-men nowadays use the computer to drain whole bank accounts from victims and essentially ruin their lives. If you're not up on the technology, you are the perfect prey for the modern con-man.

People always say, "You can't predict the future." While that may be true in some instances, but either by pure chance or some kind of cosmic intelligence, there have been people who have made bold predictions and they came  true.  You won't believe how accurate some of these real-life prophets were.  1.) In 1914 science fiction writer H.G Wells predicted the atomic bomb, which wasn't invented until 1942. In his novel "The World Set Free" he even uses the term "atomic bomb". wikipedia 2.) All the way back in 1919 Nikola Tesla predicted text messaging. He described an "apparatus" that could be used to "transmit wireless messages all over the world". I'm going to refer to my phone as an "apparatus" from now on if that's ok with everyone. wikipedia 3.) In 1865, author of "From The Earth To The Moon", Jules Verne predicted the Apollo moon landing. In Verne's story ...
