All of you who didn't watch the Oscars.. there's really no need to anymore, anything you may have an interest in seeing.. you can find so easily on the internets..
Like McConaughey's acceptance speech... (yep, he actually thanked himself. Awlright, awlright, awlright)
or John Travolta's now infamous wrangling of what's her name's name (and based on itunes sales, it looks like he's already done for Adele Dazeem what Kanye did for Taylor Swift)
And of course.. Liza Manelli's nipples..
(sorry, I couldn't risk you not clicking the above link, and frankly I think Liza's nips are something the entire world needs to see)
Of course, the real winner of the night was whoever picked out Jennifer Lawrence's outfit.. She killed it.

Other Oscar tidbits...
Bill Murray's still awesome
And so is CNN
But not as awesome as the simpsons
2. Just the Tip(s)
I found some very handy life lessons in the news this week..
1st, from the maestro of money himself.. Warren Buffet.
Warren Buffett offers 7 key investing -- and life -- tips
Here's the one that caught my eye..
5. Bitcoin isn't a solid, long-term investment. "It's not a currency. It does not meet the test of a currency. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not around in 10 or 20 years. ... It is not a durable means of exchange. It's not a store of value. ... It's been a speculative -- a very speculative -- kind of Buck Rogers-type thing," Buffett said on CNBC.
Really, you need Warren Buffet to help you figure that out? Perhaps that one tiny blurb is to blame for the complete shit storm that has ensued this week in the bitcoin world..
Man called Bitcoin's father denies ties, leads LA car chase
TEMPLE CITY, California
(Reuters) - A
Japanese American man thought to be the reclusive multi-millionaire
father of Bitcoin emerged from a modest Southern California home and
denied involvement with the digital currency before leading reporters on
a freeway car chase to the local headquarters of the Associated Press.
Satoshi Nakamoto, a name known
to legions of bitcoin traders, practitioners and boosters around the
world, appeared to lose his anonymity on Thursday after Newsweek
published a story that said he lived in Temple City, California, just
east of Los Angeles.
Newsweek
included a photograph and described a short interview, in which Nakamoto
said he was no longer associated with Bitcoin and that it had been
turned over to other people. The magazine concluded that the man was the
same Nakamoto who founded Bitcoin.
Dozens
of reporters, including a sprinkling of Japanese media, encircled and
camped outside the man's two-story house on Thursday morning, accosting
the mailman and repeatedly ringing the doorbell, to no avail. Police
cruisers drove by several times but did not stop.
Several times, someone pulled back the drapes on an upstairs window.
In
the afternoon, the silver-haired, bespectacled Nakamoto stepped
outside, dressed in a gray sport coat and green striped shirt, with a
pen tucked in his shirt pocket. He was mobbed by reporters and told them
he was looking for someone who understood Japanese to buy him a free
lunch.
Newsweek estimates his wealth at $400 million.
Oh, how I wish I made up those last two sentences.. and so does this poor woman.
Life lesson #2.. comes from the world's oldest person...
Sushi and sleep: World's oldest person offers tips for a long life
Doesn't look a day over 111... and no ill effects from her old age, other than permanent stink face...
Doesn't look a day over 111... and no ill effects from her old age, other than permanent stink face...
Seeking advice on how to live a long time? You could do a lot worse than Misao Okawa. The Japanese woman will celebrate her 116th birthday on Wednesday.
Okawa (pictured above, celebrating her 115th birthday in 2013) spoke to the U.K. Telegraph
about her secrets for longevity. Those hoping for an obscure secret
trick ("Always jump on one foot at exactly 3:43 a.m. while playing the
banjo") are in for a disappointment. Okawa attributes her incredible
life span to getting plenty of sleep, eating well, and taking a nap as
needed.
She told the paper, "Eat and sleep and you will live a long time. You have to learn to relax."
Well, that's great news for you Daily Saw fans, cuz that means THIS GUY will be around for a loooong time.

I know it's not very Jewy to say..but I like this guy's style..
Pope drops F-bomb during Vatican blessing

Pope Francis may need to go to confession after inadvertently blurting out an Italian F-bomb during his weekly blessing from the Vatican.
“If each one of us does not amass riches only for oneself, but half for the service of others, in this f–k [pause], in this case the providence of God will become visible through this gesture of solidarity,” Francis said to the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square, Italian media reported. His Holiness meant to use the Italian word for “example,” which is “caso.”Instead, he used the word “cazzo,” which Italians use as a synonym for the four-letter obscenity.'
I wonder what Pauly Walnuts would think of all this..
12. Putin on the Ritz
I know there's a lot of concern over what's happening in the Ukraine this week.. Should the U.S. get involved? Don't they need our help? Well, there's no need to worry. I think they've got it all under control.. You say Ukraine is weak? I say hell no!
Ukrainian Sailors Erect Mattress Barriers To Repel Potential Russian Attack As Putin Stands Firm
People working on the Ukrainian navy corvette Ternopil lined the ship with bedding as ships from the Russian Black Sea fleet stand guard at the entrance of the Ukrainian naval base in the city.
13. Warning!
