Hey Man, Let’s Buy Magnetic Field
If we believed it was really easy to execute the doubling pennies theory then Qfwfq, Claude Scales, Norman E-mailer, EJ and I would be lugging tons of pennies into the Commerce Bank on Court Street and buying Magnetic Field.

At Least They’re Real
A BHB tipster sent us this moldy display from a Henry Street eatery. We’re sure they’ve been freshened up by now and we do give kudos to them for not using icky plastic fruit as decoration. For the record, we prefer Moldy Peaches.
