What's in #tips Today?


We get lots of suggestions of what to post on Gawker every day. Let's take a look at what came in through the #tips page: Mysteries! Unknown disease closes an NYC private school, ad financial behavior and sex-chat blind items.
- DahlELama sends a Gothamist link about a mysterious illness has shut down the Ramaz high school on the Upper East Side.
- i_cant_think_up_a_scrn_name points out a WSJ story which proves that someone who defaults on their mortgage doesn't always teach someone about financial discipline.
- AmendmentForOne posted a Fox News story about a reporter who got wrongly fired for sending a anti-gay rights email to a gay rights group, making him the worst kind of conservative: someone who got genuinely screwed who's now spinning it into a fantasy of conservative victimhood.
- lobstr (ne Robert McKee) told his story about his father's final trip to New York City on NPR's The Story today.
- Dr. Nick left a link about Eli Roth describing his days as working in a sex chat-room using a woman's voice. We don't think it's the same person in the Blind Item a while back because he's described as a reality star and worked gay.
