Free Money
Apparently since 1898, American citizens have been funding the Spanish-American War via our phone taxes. So, now the tax is null and we finally can get a refund. The trick is that you have to ask for it in order to get it.
Now all of us would like an extra $30 to $60 dollars for free, but if you already filed this year and didn’t get it, you’re out of luck (I think).
Refunds for Good explains all of this fairly simply, and in flash format. They also suggest donating the $30 to a charity. Not a bad deal, actually.

Firefly Fans Fight Back
Apparently Universal Studios is sending out takedown notices and retroactive licensing bills to several Firefly fan sites, despite the fact that these sites helped promote the show and the movie, Serenity much better than Universal could have themselves. Slashdot has a load of link covering the issue. I wonder what the hell they are thinking? “Hey, these guys are promoting our stuff and getting people excited about our properties; let’s punish them!” I hope this isn’t the beginning of some horrible trend… NBC Universal (owners of Universal Studios) also produces Battlestar Galactica and being irritating about the webisodes made just prior to Season Three starting.

Death and Taxes
One of the interesting things I found about the How Cynical Are You quiz was this:
You think that virtually all the money you pay in taxes will be wasted.
I’m betting that most people check that box. Conveniently enough bOING bOING posted a link to a site called Death and Taxes where you can see exactly where your taxes are going. It’s fascinating to see where my money is (and isn’t) going! Be sure to view the chart that includes entitlements.

Paperclip Quest Complete
Back in April Mookee posted about a guy who wanted to trade one red paperclip for a house. Well, as it turns out, he has completed his mission in exactly one year. He got the house!
I wish I were that ambitious because I’ve got tons of useless crap in my house I could trade up for houses, cars, space shuttles and small countries.
