"In 2013, a 489lb (222kg) bluefin tuna was bought at an auction for £1.05m by a sushi restaurant owner in Japan"
So if this corpse had been fresh, and edible, it could be worth a few hundred k? Holy crap!

Yes - but only because I started looking from the left, rather than the centre...

I've been in the industry too long, my first thought was negative skewed bell-curve.

Quote: The fish, believed to be a bluefin tuna, was discovered floating in the water at Kingsand by a group of friends on holiday.
The species is currently listed as critically endangered.
Although potentially worth hundreds of thousands of pounds internationally, it is illegal to catch or sell the species from British waters.
But once you're beyond territorial waters the International Conspiracy to Catch All Tunas[^] will "listen" to it's panel of scientists about the size of the maximum sustainable catch, set a "quota" that's twice as high, and then sit around with a giant elephanting smirk on its face when it's members catch double their so called "quota" doing nothing while the population continues to decline.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Correct, but you need to show the solution as well as the answer, just in case others do not see it.

I'm surprised too, but not sure about hacking. There is no link to workspaces anymore from CP!!!

But you can get there via "The Other Site": I've left a notice for Chris about it there.

Of course - I just try to point that it seems real...
I'm sorry for that - liked the idea...

Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't.
And some things clearly took resources away from the core business without bringing in the results that were expected.
It takes a good deal of courage to decide "I was wrong" and stop doing something - far too often the investment is hard to discard, even if it is draining the company dry.

That is so true and they obviously poured a lot of time into both.

And if you don't try it you'll never know if it will work.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Absolutely!
I'm not failing enough at the moment - haven't for a couple of years. Which means I'm probably not as close to the edges of the envelope as I should be.
