Some office workers tossed whole pieces of paper out of their windows during the Giants' ticker tape parade on Tuesday—and some of those papers included medical information with Social Security numbers. Other companies probably thought they were fine because they used shredded paper... but this photo shows that one firm probably needs a cross shredder, because this is clearly a stock call option.

Yesterday, just after midnight, the over 160 Department of Sanitation employees headed to Times Square to clean up after the New Year's revelers. According to 1010 WINS, that crew worked until 8 a.m., and then another shift came in at 11 a.m. to further "tidy" up the area.

2008 is almost here, the ball drop is turning 100, the 8 is going to make its big debut, the year's bad memories have been shredded...so there's just one thing left to do. This year messages, wishes, resolutions and probably some nonsense will flutter to the ground when the clock strikes midnight. And you can join in the fun. more ›
