And criminals continue to prove that the reason most criminals do what they do is because they're to stupid to do anything else.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Except for high-end con artists, who as we all know from the movies are both smart and cool.

I just finished reading The Big Con, a terrific book about large and small grifts and cons from shortly after the Civil War through the Prohibition era (and a major inspiration for the film The Sting), and it's full of stories of amazing, dazzlingly complex and sophisticated cons told to the author years or even decades later by one of the last two or three surviving participants in the cons, once it was finally, finally safe to tell the stories. They were all so pleased with themselves and so much enjoying telling their tales; it must've just killed them to keep silent all those years before.

Big fuckups at work in my department, some of which I've had a small hand in. My boss and my boss's boss have both said that they're worried about their jobs.
