Most outrageous business deductions ever filed

Posted: 29 Nov 2012 10:02 AM PST

Thought your US$500 room service tab was a red flag? Check out these whopper deductions execs have tried to sneak past accounting
Article Page

Travel and entertainment expenses are as beloved as they are behated.

You get a bunch of free stuff … but it's usually because you've been sent to some dismal rustopolis that ends in "burg" or "dong."

You eat, drink and travel more expensively than you might normally … but you'd rather just have the money instead.

And if you're a salesman, it's practically your job to spend hundreds, if not thousands, a month on prospective clients, making expenses-paid nights out a soul-forfeiting routine.

Article Page

Your flight to Europe is booked.

Offering visitors the chance to live like a local, Airbnb lists places that are at least as good as even the best boutique hotels, many in fascinating areas few tourists visit.

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 02:00 PM PST

Grave tourism: Morbid pilgrimage sites are popular attractions for fans
Article Page

"There ain't no grave can hold my body down," sang Johnny Cash.

"Here lies David St. Hubbins ... and why not?" answered Spinal Tap's David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) when asked to write his own epitaph.

From almost the beginning of the Rock Era, death and the music's most famous figures have been engaged in a grisly dance, one that lingers with fans long after the last power chords have faded and the last cymbals have been crashed.
