*Three Historic Bubbles Burst. A brief explanation of the 1637. The Tulip Bubble or Tulip Mania occurred in Holland in Winter 1636-1637. The price of the rare tulip bulbs collapsed in Feb 1637. A futures market emerged where buyers and sellers signed contracts to purchase bulbs while growing in the ground.

The tool was his phone used to solicit a prostitute.

*Riddle. An apartment tenant lives on the eighth floor. He takes the elevator from the eighth floor to the first floor to exit. Hours pass. The tenant enters the apartment on the first floor. He takes the elevator from the first floor to the sixth floor. He walks the stairs from the sixth floor to the eighth floor. Why does he take the stairs from the sixth floor to the eighth floor?
