Riddle Me This

We just heard about this and wanted to share for our hardcore Nintendo lovers.

Nintendo recently launched a puzzle-based game called Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box for the handheld Nintendo DS/DSi and they are sending a Professor lookalike to a secret location in Miami tomorrow (Sept. 25) from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

The professor will be making his surprise appearance with a bunch of games of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (you can be eligible to win if you solve one of his brainteasers).

Click here tomorrow(beginning 10 a.m. local time) for riddle-like hints that will reveal the Professor’s location.

Good Luck!

The Perfect Proposal

Gentlemen, If you are planning on popping the question soon ...here's an idea.

Picture this:

• 4-course dinner
• Overnight stay at a luxurious hotel
  

If this sounds like the perfect night , you're in luck. From now until October 31st, Acqualina Resort & Spa is hosting the "Proposal Dinner Offer" which includes all of that for $295/per couple.

Take it from us, it would be a guaranteed "YES"
