These big heists always seem to be written for movies like Oceans 11 or The Italian job, but sometimes life imitates art, or art jumps off the screen and just becomes real. Either way, this is the story of one lonely ex-Cuban, ex-commando who couldn't find love, but rather found a way to victimize some of the biggest casinos in Vegas - even more than Wayne Newton & David Copperfield have.

The new book STORMING LAS VEGAS: How a Cuban-Born, Soviet-Trained Commando Took Down the Strip to the Tune of Five World-Class Hotels, Three Armored Cars, and Millions of Dollars takes inside one of the most successful crime sprees in Sin City's History.

1. FACT OR QUACK: Placing a 1/2 dollar on an "outty" bellybutton turns it into an "inny?"
This is quack. Many outty bellybuttons are actually umbilical hernias. That's where the intestine pops through a weakness in the abdominal wall. Most resolve by age one, 10% last longer than a year. If it lasts up to four years, it may need to be repaired. So you can see with those odds, it's no wonder people think putting a half dollar over an outty will make it go away.

Apple is definitely NOT digging the logo for New York City's GreenNYC campaign. It's Apple shaped and Steve Jobs wants a little recourse. NYC filed the trademark and Apple was given the allowed 30 days to dispute the application. Oh, and boy has Apple filed, in fact, if it was dynamite they woulda heard the blast in Alaska.

So, the big question that will probably have to get answered by our stellar judicial system will be can Apple beat NYC?! I think they should just play some strip poker & the city or corporation that gets naked last, wins. Personally, other than they are both apples, and apples to apples, they are all apples... if that makes any sense. So what do you think?
