In Soviet Russia, bank borrow from you!

While browsing the Trojan Games site (not safe for work) I saw an ad for a Romanian bank:



I know things are kind of primitive there, but is Andy Kaufman writing their ads?

Carjacking Suspect Dies in Bin
Stanley Allison

November 12, 2003

A carjacking suspect was found dead inside a trash bin in a Costa Mesa shopping center where he apparently hid from police, authorities said Tuesday.

The unidentified man, reportedly armed with a handgun, tried to take a car from a woman in the Ralphs supermarket parking lot at 380 E. 17th Street about 11:20 a.m. Monday, police said.

They said the victim thwarted the man, who ran into an alley behind a condominium complex on Tustin Avenue. Police said they searched the area and heard noise coming from the trash bin.

Officers said they saw the man inside the bin and ordered him to come out, but he refused.

Using a loudspeaker, police said, they tried in vain for nearly an hour to get the man to surrender. Police in a helicopter over the shopping center reported that that the man was not moving.

GOT THE BASTARD

Geek note: I found the incompatibility that made a perl build on one Debian Sid box spew errors about errno, and not the other. It was in the libbind-dev package. When it is installed, perl automatically links with -lbind and that library is not compatible with the new glibc, thus causing the tiresome error.

Now there's a week of debugging I'd like back. HURF! But done now.
