Jackpot

Today a man won several million dollars playing the nickel slots.

Today I drove thru Starbucks and they made two grande black ice teas lightly sweetened by mistake...and gave me the second one free. Almost the same thing!!

That is one interesting skeleton action shot. Is it day or night? How is the person blond-haired with a gray face and black legs?

For some reason, I am dying to know what that one was created for!

Also, is "anonymous" the Norwegian word for "wife of Sven" or is it just a little known Norwegian nickname for Sven?

I don't know where it's from, I can't find the source. It got colorized by me, hence the blonde hair, red straw, etc.

The wife-of-Sven has never left a message, so it's all him. I think he sometimes tries to go incognito.

Dear Professor,

Love
Sven
Tell Jamie to work harder.
