Oh dear. Where to put this story? Politics maybe? Humor -- it's certainly funny enough. A case could even be made for Conspiricy Theories or Psudoscience.... I dunno...
Seems some whacko in Brazil is claiming to have psychiced up Saddam's hiding place and wrote the American government telling them all about it. That government, understandably, didn't even bother to answer him (he's not the voice of God, after all). Now he's pissed and wants his 25 million dollar reward.
quote:
"Jucelino da Luz alleges that the U.S. armed forces only found Saddam based on his letters that provided his exact location, the very hole where he was hiding in Iraq. So he filed a court case to claim the reward
Heh, I don't blame him. For 25 mil, it's worth a shot. But I am a little disappointed that some of our home-grown thieves didn't think of it first. After all, they are supposed to be the best in the world at after-the-fact divinations and have a reputation to uphold.

Never, ever, underestimate a Brazilian's power to swindle and be outright dishonest.
How embarrassing. |

Too bad, the 50 of us psychics in the pool at work are going to split 500K each... divided up the likely geography, figuring a stamp's less than a lottery ticket.

It has been said that the Greeks are the most underated thieves in the world. The Greeks, as one might expect, take umbrage at this and blame it all on the perfidious Turks, who are not about to take that shit lying down and...... Well, you get my drift.
Got to admire Jucelino's gall if not his method. And his fantasy as well; it seems so much more vivid than our own. And who knows; he just might be succssful. Our current government throws money at every other kind of nonsense.
