Goat arrested for armed robbery

April 24, 2011 by Remco | 0 comments

Nigeria, a nice sunny country known for it’s passionate Internet culture famous for their “419″ business model. The country with friendly people who just happened to have a deceased banker for an uncle and kindly ask your assistance to help transfer the money out of the country in return for millions of dollars.

Nigeria, your favorite destination when looking for adventure at sea, where Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny and Henry Morgan have reincarnated.

Yep, Nigeria is a happy bunch also known for it’s professional and capable police because nothing and when I say nothing I mean really nothing goes unnoticed for the strong arm of the law. Two robbers trying to steal a car and when they are noticed one decides to change himself into a goat. Nice try but you got to be kidding if you think you can get away with that, for all they care you can change yourself into a cock roach but that still won’t keep you out of prison. Great police work guys Ascari, big up yourself!

Disclaimer: every goat is assumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Any resemblance to the the goat in the thumbnail picture are purely coincidental.

Yeah, we Dutch are fond of winning, thus we hate losing. Well, you might say, that’s normal, everyone likes winning and losing makes no one happy. True but we Dutch really really.. REALLY hate losing and we like to change the odds in our favor anyway possible.

The people that were with Tokobagus when we were still on Bali, especially Anom, will probably vividly remember our paintball outing. Because my business partner Arno isn’t what you call a Rambo kinda guy he decided to change the odds by arranging some protection, extra pressure on our guns and 5 times the amount of bullets… and I must confess, it worked: #winning!

Everyday millions of people anguish themselves thinking on how to get rich quick and most of the time they keep thinking for the rest of their life. Some people we call entrepreneurs actually give it a try and mostly spend their life working like crazy without actually making one million dollars.

As usual really simple solutions prove to be the best solutions. Most of you will remember Alex Tew who at age 21 became a millionaire with his “million dollar homepage” by selling pixels on his homepage and becoming part of Internet history. No if you think that was simple, check out Craig Rowin’s ‘business model‘ which basically is just asking millionaires for 1 million dollars. Simple, not a lot of work and so it seems pretty effective. A mystery man named Benjamin claiming to be a millionaire promised to give Craig Rowin the 1 million dollar he asked for. Continue Reading →
