Bitcoin's Future May Be in Jeopardy

The Bitcoin world is trying not to panic at the news popular Bitcoin exchange Mt.Gox has abruptly disappeared. Two weeks ago they halted withdrawals due to what they called "technical issues" regarding suspicious activity. Then on Sunday the company's CEO Mark Karpeles quit the board of the Bitcoin foundation and all of Mt. Gox's tweets were deleted.

Things got even more alarming when Mt.Gox itself disappeared. Then something truly chilling: According to leaked paperwork, the site had been hacked, and nearly 750,000 Bitcoins were stolen. To make matters…

I got into work this morning and opened one of the most amusing press releases I've seen in a while. The title? "Are selfies causing head lice infestations?"

Needless to say, I continued reading.

Jennifer Schindler, Director of Franchise Relations for Lice Lifters, believes "selfies" are to blame for an increase of head lice infestations in teenagers.
