: "Small business to cater to aging population " An article in Vancouver Sun talks about A study by "bank" economists where they speak about the opportunties created by the large aging population in North America.
They say and I quote (Distancing myself from the quote in any which way possible)...
"An aging population offers new opportunities for small businesses -- notably in the home-care and funeral industries"

WOW!!!! Smart people. I am sure they have a Gartner type disclaimer at the bottom saying we are not responsible for deaths due to laughter or disgust after reading this report.

I sometimes have fun working on MS word.
I was looking to type this word: sectoral, I assume that nothing is wrong with the word. BUT MS word red-underlines it and suggests a spelling: "Scrotal"
Now this is final sentence:
Government is relying on various networks of multi-scrotal participants to guard against cyber threats.
I know you need balls to fight cyber terrorism but never knew that MS word was so insightful!
