  - I don't see it like that - are the Mosques funding hate groups? - Epiphany Jul 25, 07:26 2

Sanford Weill, creator of the banking behemoth known as Citigroup, calls for breaking up big banks, return to Glass-Steagall rules. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 25, 07:13 2

*laughs at the Marlins* At least the last 2 times, they managed to wait till the offseason before having a firesale. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 06:47 6

- The "unprecedented" line and the " last happened in 1889 and occurs about once every 150 years" line don't quite mesh. -- nm - Ender Jul 25, 06:18 7
  - [deleted] 4
    - Yeah, I think you're right, but the article's wording makes that muddled. -- nm - Inigo Jul 25, 06:33 3
      - especially when they say later in the article that island-wide melting has happened before. -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 06:40 2
        
        [deleted] 1

        heh. she appears to be quite rebelious (sp?) -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 07:12
      - Do you truly think she needs to be a party of said ruse in order to sell movie tickets, though? -- nm - kelly Jul 25, 06:38 7
        
        I think - it was dreamed up by the studio when the movie 1st broke out - they wanted to capitalize on it. they probably had her sign a contract - Epiphany Jul 25, 06:51

        I'm just going off the rumors I see here and it may be that they smooshed them together merely to combat the rumors. - Mel Profit Jul 25, 07:17
        
        ditto. I thought I'd read they were both screwing around in an open relationship but wanted to keep it a secret -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 06:51
