    I remember reading a book about an FBI investigator who specialized in recovering stolen art and it mostly turned out to be low-rent sad hucksters. The chase is always more interesting than the stories of who took them.

    I've heard circular reasoning before, but not one right in the title!

      Schools should really teach the Law of Supply and Demand so adults don't need to belatedly discover it.

      Wait, are you saying there's still a market for antiquities because there's a market for antiquities?!
