i love it when serious news organizations choose not to take themselves too seriously. forbes appears to annually publish a list of the top 15 richest fictional characters.

Shady goings on in Brooklyn

Thomas Hawk’s Digital Connection: PriceRitePhoto: Abusive Bait and Switch Camera Store It’s remarkable how unscrupulous some internet retailers can be. Let this be a lesson: nothing good ever comes from Brooklyn.
