While sitting down, lift your right foot off the floor and swing your leg from the knee down to make clockwise circles.

While doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand.

See what happens to your foot circles.

There's nothing you can do about it.

Steve Eisman had become a poorly kept secret. Five hundred people called in to hear what he had to say, and another 500 logged on afterward to listen to a recording of it. He explained the strange alchemy of the C.D.O. and said that he expected losses of up to $300 billion from this sliver of the market alone. To evaluate the situation, he urged his audience to "just throw your model in the garbage can. The models are all backward-looking. The models don't have any idea of what this world has become.... For the first time in their lives, people in the asset-backed-securitization world are actually having to think." He explained that the rating agencies were morally bankrupt and living in fear of becoming actually bankrupt. "The rating agencies are scared to death," he said. "They're scared to death about doing nothing because they'll look like fools if they do nothing."
Dynamite stuff.

A small band of Hindu worshippers in India are claiming that drinking fresh cow urine can help cure all diseases - including cancer. Drinking cow urine to treat medical ailments is a centuries old practice in the Hindu religion. But the unusual treatment - which is not medically proven - has resurfaced in recent years, in the North Indian city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh.

Jimmy: Vinnie, what happened?
Vinnie{over phone}: Well we-...
Jimmy{interrupting}: You get it straightened out?
Vinnie{over phone}: No, we had a problem... and uh, we tried to do everything we could.
Jimmy: What do you mean?
Vinnie{over phone}: Well, you know what I mean. He's gone, and we couldn't do nothing about it. That's it.
Jimmy{exasperated}: What do you mean? What do you mean? Uh...
Vinnie{over phone}: He's gone. He's gone.
