I think is a shame that anyone would feel so hopeless that they see the only way out as taking their own life.

Yesterday, one financier, R. Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, apparently took his own life after realizing nearly the entire fortune that he was managing for clients had disappeared into the fifty billion dollar ponzi scheme created by Bernard Madoff.

More in the New York Times

While a large sum of money will no doubt be lost in all this, I hope no more lives are. No loss should be worth that.

Yesterday at training for my fall job we had the opportunity to brainstorm ideas for the 4 new vacuum cleaners for the Res Hall I work in.   Everything we check out has to be uniquely identified but numbers are so lame so it has always been a sort of tradition that the vacuum cleaners were named.  We went around the table pitching ideas, the two fouresomes that stood out were the Beetles and the four horsemen of the apocalypse.  After a vote which resulted in a tie between the two there was a tie breaking round of rock, paper, scissors the victor was The Four Horsemen!

I really can’t wait until some kid comes up to the desk requesting “Death”
