And The Truth Will Set Your Money Free!

July 10th 2008 10:30

In 2001, Yiannis Katsanis, a Greek millionaire passed away leaving a rather disturbing clause in his will. Disturbing that is, for his relatives and the people of his hometown, Afitos.

The will stipulated that the sum of two billion drachmas ($5.28 million) was to be bequeathed to the town to aid in the construction and running of a new hospital, on the proviso that detailed letters he had written about the sexual exploits and affairs of his relatives and other townspeople were to be read out in public at the town square.

I wonder how many of those involved were prepared to sacrifice the relevant information for that tidy sum?

So Who Knows Japanese???

March 15th 2008 09:00

OK, I'm not giving out a fact for today, unless I can say that it's a fact that this is seemingly idiotic, but actually I need someone out there in cyberspace to explain this one to me?!?!

So if there are any Japanese speakers around, you can probably help me out with this rather bizarre little man and his website. I know the Japanese have a reputation for having a bizarre sense of humour, but can someone explain to me what he's saying HERE?

BEER For Your BEST FRIEND!

Here's the beer really designed for your best friend. However you may not be thinking of the same type of best friend as this beer company is. That's because this beer isn't designed for the friend of the 2-legged variety, but the 4-legged variety.
