Where He
Have you ever wondered if the same $5, $10, or $20 bill has crossed your path twice? Have you ever wanted to know where your money goes once it's left your hands? There is a website that can answer these questions for you. Jeremy Mercer, 33, of Powell River, B.C., said he used to be curious about where his money went and to whom after he used it to purchase something. Mercer, a chemical engineer, said he came across the website www.whereswilly.com while surfing the web one day and immediately registered as a user on May 10 2001 .

ing 3,000 career hits. Being the extremely arrogant, egocentric player that he is, he resigns from the Brewers immediately after the game. Throughout his career with the Brewers, Ross seemingly amplifies his already unappealing personality by showing absolutely no team spirit, being extremely miserable to the rest of the Brewers’ roster, and worst of all, giving the media an extremely hard time. Heck, he even stole his recordmaking ball from a young fan. Nine years later, however, the statistics people for Major League Baseball looked back at Mr. 3000’s records, and they concluded that he’s actually Mr. 2997. That’s right, there was an error in Ross’s stats, and he’s missing three hits. The predictability, of course, rolls on like a steamroller.

is,

Brewers have to win their final game. By the end of the ninth, and with a runner on second base, Ross steps up to the plate with a welldeserved chance to legally achieve 3,000 hits. I don’t want to give away the ending, so you’ll have to pay to see what happens. Add in a romance plot, which made little sense, between Ross and an ESPN~~ reporter he knew from his past, and a few bar scenes which don’t really advance the plot, and you’ve got the essence that is Mr. 3000. I
give this movie a rating of 3/5,
and that’s being generous because I’m a fan of comedy and a fan of baseball. It’s fairly decent if you can see it for less than $10 and want a quick laugh.
