Cool Dead Woman Leaves 21M Tip

I found this next story while wandering around the Yahoo News Odd Stories section and thought it might make you smile at the start of your work week.

Think of it as a giant tip. A wealthy widow repaid the kindness shown to her by a family that runs a Chinese restaurant she frequented by leaving them $21 million, and a High Court judge ruled Friday that her will was legal.

Golda Bechal's 1994's will said she wanted Kim Sing Man and his wife, Bee Lian, the owners of a Chinese restaurant northeast of London, to inherit her money. She died at age 88 in January 2004.

I hope that her relatives ignored her, while she was alive, as it would be twice as sweet, and Karmic Justice, to know that they deserved to be slighted in the will. Either way it shows that being nice to people can have emotional rewards, and in this case, a bonus financial one!

So Golda Bechal is the "cool" dead person of the week! :)
