Pyrimid (Piroz) selling - they could have bought a pyramid for less, and Steven Spielburg could have got his money back using it as a stage prop. What odds are you giving that he already has the right to the film about the crook - called Madoff Money no doubt. |

We used to sing that in Michigan when I was part of the Black Diamond String Band. I will predict that "Madoff" will be remembered as an "eponym" with such famous persons as "Boycott," "Ponzi" and "Christ" not to mention "Thomas Crapper." Cheerily, Charley Noble |

A bit more graphic. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm what was the South Sea Bubble all about? Of course History repeats itself, it has to, nobody is listening. I can't remember who said it - problem is most of the problem people forget the saying as well. |
