Chip sent this to me:

If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00. With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.

Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Man, my neck just isn’t getting any better. The lefthand side of my neck is really painful. A does of Advil and some FlexAll didn’t seem to do anything. *sigh* Time for a doctor’s visit.

Nice! Looks like SIm City 4 is right around the corner. It’s obviously incorperating some elements from The Sims series as well:
