A look at the stories ranking highly on various news sites.
While the Telegraph's most popular article claims , a questionable solution to mortgage worries is offered by a popular Details magazine article.
These housing troubles could all been avoided if, like Daniel Suelo, you . Christopher Ketcham spent the night with "the man who lives on zero dollars". But Ketcham's description of Suelo's cave life seems less than desirable. "Mice scurry over his body in the cave, and kissing bugs sometimes suck the blood from under his fingernails while he sleeps" Ketcham says. Perhaps not for Burt Reynolds then.
While Suelo doesn't need any cash, model Andrej Pejic says in a popular New York Magazine article "I don't get out of bed for less than $50 a day." The .

Surely a more exciting job description than that is in order?
The story of a shark which killed a British man while on honeymoon in the Seychelles is in a lot of the most-read lists including that of the Sun and ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News. But at the top of the Daily Mail's is a question: The piece says a 36-year-old French tourist also died after he was bitten by a shark while snorkelling at the same beach on 1 August. Despite the question in the headline, it doesn't answer it.
