Can you top this ---- I doubt it.
As the story goes, the guy that owns this house lives north of Cincinnati ,Ohio .. Police were constantly being called for traffic jams and accidents in the neighborhood so they asked him to shut it down during certain hours. Instead he started charging by car load to pay off duty police to be there.The guy is supposedly a real computer GEEK. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did....Merry Christmas!!!!

VIKRAM SAMVAT 2065
The official Indian calender celebrates its new year on 7th April 2008. Let me tell u something about this indian calender which is also the official calender of the Government of India , and only a few of us in this generation bothered to know about it .
The Vikram era or Vikram Samvat originated in 57 B.C. and the date marked the victory of The King Vikramaditya over the Sakas who had invaded Ujjain. To convert the year in Gregorian (Western) calender add 57 or 58 to the current year. The Western Calender is based on the Sun , in which a year is the time taken by the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun .This precisely measures 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds.
The official Indian Calender or the Vikram Samvat is based on both the sun and the moon ; while it uses a solar year- but divides it into 12 lunar months .
