Happening NOW: April 16, 2010

What’s happening April 16, 2010:

If gas wasn’t expensive enough, turns out a whopping six per cent of pumps rip people off in the $2 per fill-up range – obviously in favour of the station. The feds are clamping down with private inspectors, so expect gas companies to open up private inspection businesses.

It’s always cute to see the TTC talk about “new technology”, like fancy plastic cards that you can pre-load, then swipe, to avoid face time with ticket collectors. The Presto cards, however, are more about the GTA having a standard card across their system than about the TTC adopting it at more than 12 stations they’re Presto-chango-ing now.

Tired of Earth? Well, Obama is expecting to see people on Mars by the mid-2030s. No time to lose messing up another planet.

The giant Iceland eruption ash cloud is spreading. More cancelled flights, and talk of health risks.

If you’re concerned about all this ash being some kind of apocalyptic omen, maybe it’s time to start saving for a spot in a Vivos brand underground shelter. Only room for 3,400 survivors! It’s like living Fallout 3![rssbreak]
