It sure beats digging worms. Fishermen in Texas now can buy live bait
from vending machines. A converted sandwich machine called Vend-a-Bait
dispenses fresh wigglers in clear plastic bags. Prices range from $1.25
to $2, depending on the selection of live worms, minnows or goldfish.

It works for cars, why not colleges. Eastern Michigan University is
recalling its alumni. The school has notified graduates that their
knowledge and skills may not be "adequate to compete in a computerized
marketplace." So, the school is offering free repairs through weekend
seminars. The voluntary recall is so popular that the college is
tripling the number of workshops.
