As linked here, The Telegraph had a sad, sad story about Lehman's bankers that was, frankly, embarrassing. It focussed on the wives of the stricken millionaires and how they may have to get less nannies and cleaners. Since then, they've pulled it, though, which is why it's just as well that I've archived it here.

Only Matt Johnston would advertise a kid's comic application with the phrases. "Holy Fuck" and "That's fucking awesome!"

Best of luck, Lads.

Yes, there is a site dedicated to Suspicious Vans. Some of them are indeed very suspicious.

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION

Attention .All crimes in Nigeria

The preponderance of economic and financial crimes like Advance Fee Fraud (419), Money Laundering, etc has had severe negative consequences on Nigeria, including decreased Foreign Direct Investments in the country and tainting of Nigeria's national image. The menace of these crimes and the recognition of the magnitude and gravity of the situation led to the establishment of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The legal instrument backing the Commission is the attached EFCC (Establishment) Act 2002 and the Commission has high-Level support from the Presidency, the Legislature and key security and law enforcement agencies in Nigeria.

It is upon this that i as acting Chairman contact you to inform you of the arrest and confiscation of the properties of Mr Fred ajuduwa A.k.a too much money, Ade Bendel Aka the God Father & Mr kawo Benson Aka kakudebensaon here in Nigeria.

From their trail it was discovered after their confessional statements that they scammed you and several others from the United states and United Kingdom respectively an unspecified amount of money before my assumption of office as Chairman.

It is upon this that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission decided after the auctioning of their Seized properties to compensate all those that have lost money to these scammers either through Loan Offers or A.T.M cards or Lotty and all so who clain to be an EFCC and lawyer that was never issued or delivered or if issued was not real.

The Compensation is coming from the money realized by the Federal Government after auctioning of their seized properties, ranging from fleets of exotic cars, estates and a mini refinery belonging to the Ghana National among the fraudsters.

You will be compensated respectively with the sum of $150,000USD each. Your compensation money will be transferred to you through the United Bank of Africa as soon as you write out and sign an authorisation letter authorising the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to transfer your compensation money.

Note that the transfer charges will be deducted from the $150,000USD.
Regards,
Mr.Waziri Lamorde
Acting Chairman

Well, it looks like the Infurious guys have a much-less-likely-to-be-banned comic out! Nice work, lads.

Yes, this is a bit of watch-geek indulgence, but some of us just need to know. Here is a chronology of the Moon Watch caseback design. It matters as the Moon Watch is most likely my next watch and I need to know its vintage. The Omega Speedmaster was the first watch worn on the moon. In fact, sticking with Chuck Maddox's site, he wrote this invaluable guide to watches worn on the moon. Yes, it's very geeky, but it's an important article about important stuff.

An amusing tabloid tale of VP Candidate Sarah Palin being the grandmother, not the mother, of her latest sprog. Is it believable? I don't know, but it's funny.
