Get free stock from SynthaSite
Let's say you head into some dark, seedy, back alley bar in an unnamed Scandinavian country, and to your shock and horror, you find people crowding around a ring cheering as a small child, maybe 4 years old is in a ring facing off in a fight to the death with a 1000 pound polar bear. Moral upheaval aside, you would never risk your own money betting on the toddler. But if someone let you bet for free on the kid, as you don't put any money down, but if the toddler wins you clean up, you'd definitely do it. Who knows, the bear might have a heart attack or something before the start of the fight. You've got nothing to lose. As is the case with a new offer from Synthasite, a website builder that allows you to easily construct webpages online. They're giving away a million shares of stock to users, for free!
Now, obviously Synthasite's chances of succeeding are probably better than that of a kid fighting a bear, but as with any tech startup, no matter how good the product, nothing is guaranteed. But what do you have to lose? The company states that if Synthasite was ever "acquired or became a listed entity, these shares would be worth exponentially more than what they are today." This may sound a little sketchy, but since they're located in South Africa, they are free to do as they please.
All you have to do to get the stock is to create a template for them. The best templates will be selected, and with each selection goes 1000 shares for the designer. Of course, one has to wonder about the financial stability of any company willing to give away that much stock. Didn't the Simpson's already cover that?
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
