...Palm Beach, the value of property has plummeted so much that in some instances, banks are willing to take less than one-third of a property's value just to staunch the flow of money being spent on taxes and condo fees for unoccupied units. For example, Zalewski the grave dancer is looking at purchasing a 1,800-sq.-ft condo with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the waterfront in a place just north of Miami. That unit sold to a speculator for $940,000 in 2006. The bank is asking $389,000 but will probably settle...
...that a cloud looked like a bunny. The member retorted, “No, it’s a Delphic. They’re all Delphics.” To always have a relevant conversation topic, bring along a talisman related to the club’s storied past. Grave robbing is encouraged. When conversation fails, take the initiative to start a Greco-Roman wrestling tournament. But bring your own oil, (Bilotti found that out the hard way).

...James ossuary provided all of that, and more. At first detectives from the Israel Antiquities Authority suspected that the ossuary was authentic but had been stolen from a site by Arab grave diggers and sold to Golan. Israeli sleuths say they discovered that the limestone casket was indeed authentic, and dated back to the correct period of A.D. 60. But the key inscription, linking the object to Jesus Christ, was a clever fake. An analysis of the patina also revealed the presence of Tel Aviv tap water. In his defense, Golan claims it was because his mother occasionally scrubbed...
