Re-writing history again, Winston?

Obviously you folks are not classic movie buffs or members of the "John Belushi - Animal House" fan club.

Gosh! I thought that the Germans bombed Pearl Bailey...

No, but you can bet bombed on either Pearl's or Bailey's, but not in Germany.

Has anyone noticed a distinct lack of kittens on the forums lately?

Well, heck, I'll contribute.

Strange, nobody has ever crticized the low women quota in a pack of the bridge cards. In my opinion the both red jacks should be replaced by 2 abigails

Quick poll>>>>

I always thought anti-fans are evil and childish but this year all I want is Barca to lose the CL. the cognitive dissonance is deafening.

If Messi will continue to dance tango with defence like yesterday, I see nobody who would be able to stop them this year.

I predict someone will tackle him in a game before South Africa. If not then Spain is not gonna win the Cup...again.

[gwnn]

great night in CL, both ties could have been turned around until the very last minute.

unfortunately it is all but certain that Barcelona will win it, I saw Manchester as a last possible contender.

[Aberlour10]

ManU seemed to forget once again that a match vs Bayern has always fully 90 min a not 45, no matter you lead vs them 3-0, they always try to fight back.

Hypothetical case:

Somebody has a CD with  swiss bank account-data of 1500 US-citiziens and want to sell it for 1 mill bucks US authorities (IRS?)
The question is: Is US treasury authorities allowed to buy such stolen material and use it legal to investigate trespasses.???

There is a real, similar case in Germany at the moment.

I think that generally if police purchase information then that may make the information suspect but if it turns out to hold up then I don't think the fact that it was purchased makes it unusable in court. But then usually purchased information is on a small scale, like from a stoolie. I guess the cited case is really large scale stool pigeoning and maybe scale matters. Or not. If the guy trying to sell this info is still alive, I'm impressed.

In the real case in Germany, somebody offers 1500 files with accounts data from the swiss UBS bank....all germans customers....the price for the deal = 2,5 mill €
The finance authorities checked for example 5 of these files...they mean each of these 5 germans should pay about €1 million on taxes etc...
The experts mean the whole deal will bring german state about 100-200 mill ....if the minister of finance decide to buy it.

Two years ago they bought stolen data in Lichtenstein...it brought more then 100 mill on taxes till now.

post scriptum, 3 months later...

1 CD has been really bought by german goverment,

and this small piece of plastic sparked off till now:

-more then 1000 preliminary inquries
-12000-13000 self-indictments
-800 - 1000 mill € on taxes

oh the world is just spinnin and spinnin
