Counterfeit Eggs

March 17, 2008


This clip is from the Channel 4 documentary The Fake Trade and I still can’t work out if it’s real. The effort required to counterfeit eggs just seems like far too much effort. From the small amount of research I’ve done on line, it’s unclear whether the “fake eggs” really exist, or if they’re just the work of some hoaxers. Part of me would really like to think that the Chinese people filmed in the documentary put their heads together and tried to think of something they could use to scam the gullible western film crew.

Ms. Pac Man Hauntingly Spooky

March 12, 2008

A Boston-area Craigslist user posted an offer to give away a Ms. Pac Man cabinet for free. After being contacted by a member of ArcadeControls.com who asked why on earth he’d be giving such a thing away without any compensation, the man replied that unfortunately the cabinet was haunted and he just needed to get it out of his house.
