The US Bureau of Engraving and Printing has a fabulous name--one of the nicest in all the Departments-of and US-This-and-That. But who on God's green Earth saddled them with this URL? When you've got a whole top-level domain to yourself, why not go all the way? google.gov! Lord knows they print their own money.
UPDATE: I'm getting closer to figuring out who chose that URL--it's the same guy that wrote this craptastic opening:
The Buck starts here at The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where you can broaden your horizons and expand your mind!
UPDATE 2: WTF? How can you be a money factory and not make coins?? Coins are money.
UPDATE 3: I suppose you could ask why the US Mint doesn't make notes, but that just wouldn't make cents! (thanks, everybody, I'm here all week!)
The web is a-buzz with this story of a dude who built an apartment in the mall. I think its a cute hoax.
I am no news-at-11-investigative-reporter, but here's my preliminary list of questions.
- in four years they took 6 pictures, but have plenty of video to stock their just-started blog?
- the entrance area is 11 inches wide but can accommodate a tv, couches, a hutch, etc.?
- why are there no pictures of this place in the context of the mall?
I call bullshit.
