A friend of mine, we shall call “Jaffer” has located the origins of the mysterious and magic Golden Monkey Wine. The Golden Monkey Wine appeared in my fridge a few weeks back and we threw a party to celebrate its opening.

Doing so caused a comotion that you can read about here.

We had not been able to determine what part of the magic universe the Golden Monkey Wine came from.

Now we know: Wegman’s.

Well, without meaning too that is. Now before you get the NSA breathing down my neck let me explain. I went to United Bank a few days backto deposit some cash for a friend overseas in the UK.

Ok, yes, it does sound sketchy, but it’s not really. I’m not commiting any crimes with 5 dollars so hold your horses everybody.

I didn’t have any information with me. No account number, no SSN, nothing – I’m not even a United customer. What I did have was a name and an address. I was depositing money into the account, so no problem there right?

How about the fact that the reciept had the account number printed on it?

Now what if one were to place a phone call to United Bank to see how they verify customers over the phone?

Guess what information they request to authenticate you.

I was in Myrtle Beach this past weekend and I heard right now that there is a hurricane, er excuse me, tropical storm hovering over where I was getting some rays only a few days back. Maybe that’s why I’m so happy in this picture.

Or perhaps there was a sale at Macy’s.

I wish I had done a thesis on this topic and won the coveted chancellor’s prize for excellence from Melbourne University.

“I was interested in where myths turn up in less obvious forms, and there wasn’t much work on the early years of television and its relation to myth,” Dr Baker said.
