Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He worked in a group that dealt with transaction limits on traders.
Societe Generale's loss swamps the previous high water mark for activity by a rogue trader set by Nicholas Leeson, who lost $1.38 billionin Asian futures and other derivatives at Barings Bank in 1995. The damage bankrupted the 233-year-old British bank, which was subsequently taken over by Dutch financial firm ING.
I did not know that about ING. Although I did know that the previously mentioned rogue trade was made into a movie starring Ewan McGregor and Alexis Denisof.
And I also know that Scrappy's situation sucks.
I guess you could say we get paid extra in February no matter what?
Maybe it depends on when you get hired. When they say your annual salary is $150,000 (because that's the kind of money we make), were they saying that about 1984 or 1986?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So I should assume this guy is some sort of immortal and mis-remembering things from his ancient days?

Shoot him in the heart and see what happens.

No, you have to cut off his head. It's the only way to be sure.

I give you points for escalating the geekery (for extra points, who can link Christopher Lambert to Sigourney Reese in the fewest steps?) but that will only show you something if there's an immortal in range to be quickened. Shooting him in the heart will kill him if he's not immortal, but only stop him for a while if he's not, no matter who's around.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Go ahead, be shocked.
*is shocked*
No wait - what's the opposite of shocked?
I have sandwich fixings in the office fridge and absolutely no desire to make a sandwich out of them and eat it. Stoopid frugality.
