Liz Pulliam Weston over at MSN Money has two companion articles listing the TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY NEW and TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY USED.
Some of the items should be obvious. As Stephen Wright once said, “I went to the store to buy some used paint; it was in the shape of a house.”
For those less obvious, you’ll want to click through the articles to see Liz’s full reasoning behind why each item is on the list.

Playboy has released their list of the TOP 10 PARTY SCHOOLS FOR 2009:

So you’re sitting at the fancy restaurant, and the waiter hands you the wine menu. If you’re like most people, you flip to the back page where the cheap stuff is, scan the page for the least expensive per-glass line, and order whatever it may be.
Yes, restaurants make a ton of money selling customers a bottle of wine at an incredibly high markup. The same bottle that can run $100 or more in the restaurant may only cost you $20 at the local wine shop…assuming the local wine shop even carries that label or vintage.
So how do you know which wine is a good value when you’re looking at the menu?

Cameron Karsten writes spiritual and health-related columns for a travel magazine. Here are his 10 THINGS YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU TRAVEL ALONE:
