Am I the only one here who saw this and immediately thought that Timothy C. May and Jim Bell were behind it?

&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_market&quot;&gt;Assassination market&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;An assassination market is a prediction market where any party can place a bet (using anonymous electronic money and pseudonymous remailers) on the date of death of a given individual, and collect a payoff if they &quot;guess&quot; the date accurately. This would incentivise assassination of individuals because the assassin, knowing when the action would take place, could profit by making an accurate bet on the time of the subject&#039;s death. Because the payoff is for accurately picking the date rather than performing the action of the assassin, it is substantially more difficult to assign criminal liability for the assassination.&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

No, human bodies are lying machines.  While our bodies are alive, we are spiritual amphibians.

Humans are the ghosts in the machines, and the ghosts have a chance to aspire to truth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sex/scandal related crap up there right now is annoying me.  Sure, it could be big, or it could be total crap.  

All the congressional insider trading crap is in a basement somewhere in D.C.- not on-line at all.  We need a research going in there everyday to figure out what went down.  Instead, the highest bounty is for a sex tape?  

It might be big, but they got to grow up first.]]></description>
