Greetings fellow Bizarros:
I am sure everybody has read the bizarre story about how
the country's top financial watchdogs at the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission spent countless hours gawking at
Internet porn as the economy tanked.
You would think a body whose primary responsibility is
enforcing the federal securities laws and regulating the
securities industry, the nation's stock and options ex-
changes, and other electronic securities markets in the
United States would be more concerned with Goldman Sachs
defrauded investors than silicone boobies, but apparently
not.
The shocking findings include Securities and Exchange
Commission senior staffers using government computers to
browse for booty and an accountant who tried to access
raunchy sites 16,000 times in one month. With those kinds
of numbers it's no surprise they don't have any time to
waste on securities regulation.
But we should hardly be surprised. I just read the most
illuminating article about a man named Harry Markopolos.
Harry is a financial fraud investigator who, about a decade
ago, discovered an unscrupulous fund manager who he claimed
was running the biggest scam in history.
Starting in 1999 he alerted the SEC repeatedly, both orally
and in writing, and was repeatedly ignored. As it turns out,
that fund manager was Bernie Madoff, creator of the largest
Ponzi scheme ever, who swindled about $65 billion out of
unsuspecting investors. They don't even do their jobs when
somebody else is doing their job for them!
With a track record like that you have to wonder what the
guys (and girls) at the SEC do at all! Well, surf for porn,
I guess.
Bizarrely,
Lewis

----------- Neighbors complain of donkey smells -----------
GURGAON, India - A retired British couple in India say
they are being persecuted by neighbors complaining about
the donkey sanctuary they created at their home. Residents
of Gurgaon said Bob Harrison, 67, and his wife, Jean, 69,
are harming their neighborhood with the smells and sounds
from the donkeys on their property, The Daily Telegraph
(Britain) reported Thursday. "The neighbors have complained
to the municipal commissioner about the noise and the smell
and they say it's attracting the pigs. But there is a
leaking sewage pipe at the back of the houses and the pigs
love it," Bob Harrison said. The Harrisons, who said they
are trying to find new homes for the four donkeys on their
property before they vacation in Britain for the summer,
said they believe their neighbors are persecuting them for
being British. The municipal commissioner's office said it
is offering the Harrisons a nearby plot of land to build a
new donkey shelter away from their neighbors.

-------------- $62,000 taken in 'curse' scam --------------
CHICAGO - Authorities in Illinois are searching for two
women charged with stealing a woman's money under the
pretense of cleansing it of evil spirits. Cook County
authorities indicted Laura Santini, 61, and her daughter,
Rosann, 35, on felony theft charges this week for scamming
a Park Ridge woman out of $62,000, the Chicago Tribune
reported Thursday. "They basically were able to convince
the victim that some money she had gotten was cursed money
and that somehow that curse had transferred to other money
that she had," Chicago police Detective Milorad Sofrenovic
said. "They told her that in order to be able to remove
this curse, they needed to take this money physically to
a shrine in Indiana and with prayers drive the curse from
the money." Sofrenovic said the woman realized she had
been scammed when she saw a "for rent" sign on the women's
Chicago home. He said the women have not been seen in
more than a year.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Welis? -Ben
Studies show we have an inborn fear of snakes and spiders.
Babies quickly spot spdiers and snakes in pictures,
despite never having learned to fear them. It's a survival
mechanism. Back when we lived in the wild, quickly spotting
trhese two venomous creatures was crucial to surviving.
Sure, not every snake is venomous, but would you stick
around to find out? The biug question is, why are some
people born without these fears? perhaps we're finally
evolving away from them.
[I guess it's possible. I firmly believe I was born with an
instinctive fear of clowns...and midgets.]
You consider your identity a secret? I thought eveybody
knew that you are really Queetzal posing as an Earthling.
