426602 2006-02-03 08:35:00 Just look at all the prople who are into "alternative therapy" or who are convinced that it's possible to talk to the dead, or who voted for George Bush. ;)

Don't get me started. Of course, it's those who do all three that you've really got to be worried about ....

426604 2006-02-03 13:19:00 Considerably more of Nigerias oil derived wealth leaves the country for the back pockets of oild traders and the coffers of oil companies than stays. Perhaps, they're trying to repatriate some of it, using similar business techniques to it's departure.

It'd be interesting to see how much you could suck back out again. I hazard a guess the succes rate wouldn't be much different, greedy stupid people aren't bound by geographical location, maybe cultural differences may affect to some extent........ lets get down to it, who's the boards worst speller? who willing to put up a small float to seed the ahh.. experiment?, lets keep it small initially, say 10 people at $500.00 per head (US $ of course), I'll forward details of where and to whom the bank cheques are to be deposited.... what else?

Be in folks, shares in this once in a lifetime scheme are going like, for human consumption only, hot cakes .

PS . Can a non speller step forward please, we need to get some cred together to hit the marks, aahh . . . I mean, authenticate the experimnet . We also need a control, Bruce, being a figure of authority (yeah ok, keep it seemly, I'll rephrase) . . . Bruce, being an authority and above reproach, can you act as control and scrutineer please, send US$500 . 00 which, of course, will be refunded at the successful conclusion of the . . . aahh, experiment .

Thank you and, folks, please give your utmost consideration to the children .
