In spite of the fact that Bundle is a money site, we don't talk a lot about investing and the markets. (That'd be the stock, bond and commodity markets. Online emporia are thoroughly covered here.) Still I was stunned by this interactive visualization of stock market activity. Nice!

AAA gets an A: So what if it stands for American Automobile Association? These days, membership in the "motor club and leisure travel organization" will get you way more than a free tow. So say Bundlers, who point out that joining up gets you awesome discounts, including: 10 percent off at BarnesandNoble.com, 20 percent off prescription medications, and 50 percent off New York City parking. Plus other stuff! Remember the Entertainment Book? Like that, but with roadside assistance, and TripTiks.

Man up and pick up the phone: Like a shot of tequila, email can make a person feel bold! And when a situation with a friend gets sticky — like, say, the friend owes you $90 for two bottles of wine — it's so much easier to send a "hey, about that $90" email than it is to address the person in person, or even via video chat. But that also gives the said friend an opportunity to ignore you and your nicely-worded collection notice. No! Pick up the phone and call them, Erin suggests, and force them to answer you. Feeling too timid for the bold approach? Da-na-na-na-na-na: Tequila!

The importance of the curve: Do women notice the little things, like lipstick on your collar, or a curved shower curtain in a hotel room? You betcha! But what the women of Bundle make of it is an open question. Is it a mirroring of America's growing waistline and general increased curvaceousness, as Bethany suggests? Is it supposed to match the shape of the tub, as Mariya suspected? Or does it, as hotel consultants intend, connote a cleaner, spa-ish feeling, even in an otherwise decrepit establishment? Keep at it, consultants. You'll get there, I'm sure.

Question of the day: Budget ice cream, or the premium stuff? Comment, or tweet: #coldandsweet
