Cute
kid: Check. Handsome older brother: Check. Charming dog: Check.
Long(ish) take of a mysterious corn field: Check. Lost alien that looks

film using a time machine.

It
seems like every week there's a new argument to remove the penny from
circulation. But did you know that the U.S. once had a half-cent? When
the U.S. stopped making them in 1857, they had the buying power of over a
dime by today's standards. Which makes the most excellent case to scrap the penny, right now. And…
