Just curious, is Branson the "good" guy or not ?
All i read / heard bout him was that he put(s) an immense amount of money in renewable energy-things (my english kinda sucks, i hope you get what i mean) and stuff like that (philantropist ?)
Never heard any evil, villainy stuff or something :P

damn me..i meant the book by Frank Schaetzing..i really need a coffee right now xD

Where was it..korea or so..not sure ^^ Few months ago guys STOLE a underwater cable ; P THAT was awesome xD
This is just the beginning of the Yrr war.
Seriously: Have you read "The swarm" by Eschenbach ? If white crabs start to flood the coasts, im so outta this planet ^^

Hi, im from austria so i just wanted to tell you this:
A tobacconist once told me, that the part that is hardest to fake (and most people seem to forget that when copying money) is that the grey area you can see between the "5" and the RedStar (the big one in the upper-middle part) is the hardest to fake. This area HAS to be ..ehm..rough (sorry my english sucks ^^), which means if you move your fingernail from left to right and back on this area, you have to feel the little "ribs" the paper got there.
But since most people dont know how to find all the signs of a real Euro, companies just wont take your money (which is a joke in my oppinion ..).
Im also not sure if this remote-thingie got implemented, but i dont think so. I just know there is something in there which is hard to fake too, some kind of.."not-made-of-paper stripe" running through the paper : )
hope that was at least interesting for you,
cheerio
.f : )
