A Long Island deli owner who held a robber at gunpoint, then let him go after giving him $40 and a loaf of bread, says he got an anonymous letter from the crook that included a $50 bill and a thank-you for saving him from a life of crime. The mysterious writer apologized to his would-be victim, Mohammad Sohail, saying, “First of all I would like to say I am sorry at the time I had [no] money no food on the table no job and nothing for my family.” (via NYPOST.com)

North Korea Scraps Currency
inky:
North Korean banks on Wednesday formally began a currency exchange aimed at wiping out much of the private savings people have accumulated through market activities. […]
North Korea said Monday that new currency would be issued this week and said it would accept only a strict limit — amounting to around the equivalent of US$40 — on the amount of old currency it would accept in exchange. The rest of the money would be scrapped in an apparent effort to make people more dependent on the government.
Read the article, its crazy! that this sort of thing still happens. Its like reading about stuff that happened 50 years ago… sadness.

Quite a metal pipe… never actually used one though. Really the hippy standard though…
A surprise act of art market anarchy took place just outside the entrance to the exclusive gala VIP opening night at Paris Photo 2009 last week. While the crowd of well-dressed international art collectors began to enter the giant hall at the Louvre, dozens of pranksters quickly dumped thousands and thousands of anonymous vintage photos into a giant heap, and tossed handfuls of photographs in the air. “Free, free, free!”
Even in this art-loving socialist capital, this act caused a momentary cognitive disconnect:
Inside, a single rare photograph could fetch a price of 40,000 euros ($60,000) or more. Outside this heap of interesting (and potentially) precious gems were free for the taking. You just had to get down on your hands and knees and shuffle through the stack to find something that spoke to you. Nobody else assigned a value to any of these photos.
