Two notes from NYT Magazine, 5/17:

1) From an interview w/ Nobel economist Myron Scholes (arguably the father of the credit default swap), recently retired from Stanford:

Q: What are you doing these days?

A: I split my time between giving talks around the world and running a hedge fund, Platinum Grove Asset Management.

Q: Does a place or city called Platinum Grove exist on any map?

A: No. One of my partners is Chinese, and he said we needed a name that had one metal in it and one wood.

[This also works for freak-folk.]

2) In the top 1 percent of previous purchases indicating a high risk of consumer credit-card default: chrome-skull accessories.
