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. Probably with enough digging and tape, you could put together the whole document!

City Prepares For Super Bowl Ticker-Tape Mess-strava-ganza!
As the New York Giants await their flight back to Newark today, mingling awkwardly with morose members of the New England Patriots, the city gets ready to clean up the dozens of tons of ticker-tape that will be bombarded upon the streets of Manhattan Tuesday. Cue up some 80's cleaning montage music!
Locals Say Good Riddance To 2009
Yesterday city folk got a chance to physically destroy their bad memories from 2009. (One person brought a Daily News article on the Giants' season-ending loss!) Did you take part in the cathartic chaos? We got some photos from the scene... but sadly none showing the use of the sledgehammer that organizers of this year's Good Riddance Day promised.
More Times Square Trash for New Year's!
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. It's believed that over 41 tons of garbage were collected, but since there were 25 mph winds, it's hard to say exactly how much detritus they picked up. Sanitation Commission John Doherty said, "It takes a while. Last night was a windy night. There's probably confetti as far as the East River."
Personalized Confetti Hits Times Square Tonight
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.
